UMBC Student Affairs 'Call Me Maybe' Cover
The scene: Last day of final exams. A meet-and-greet opportunity for some student leaders and staff members from UMBC's Division of Student Affairs. There was supposed to be a dessert tray, but it arrived a little late. Meanwhile, somebody had a camera . . .
Hats off to Student Life staff members Sara Leidner and Lindsey Mitchell for the idea, and to SEB's Jason Palumbo and Evan Ponter for their creativity and video skills.
As for me, despite this promising debut, I'm going to hold onto my day job . . .

Real People Profiles: Simmi Singh
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Hometown: North Potomac, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I'm a full time, undergraduate, Biology major. I have been affiliated with the Student Government Association, the Meyerhoff Program, the International Field Research Experience to Switzerland, and Health Leads during my time at UMBC.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I’m a thoughtful and proactive contributor to our campus community’s wellbeing.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: Being an engaged student at UMBC is an invaluable opportunity to learn and grow from a diverse number of experiences. Getting out of my comfort zone, pushing myself to strive for my best, and relaxing to the max had tremendous consequences (good ones!) on my health and happiness that are truly irreplaceable.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Being the best student I can be requires a balance between healthy habits, hard work, optimism and passionate persistence. I realized college can be as stressful as you make it- so I try to avoid getting too overwhelmed. This balance also included making an effort to seek great opportunities (on and off campus) that were an extension of what I care about.
In such a flexible time in my personal growth, the most precious insight I gained (especially when times get rough as a student) was this: learning is a mixture of success, failure, determination and persistence. Appreciate the philosophy that one's talents and skills set the floor, and one's attitude and character set the ceiling. Reflecting on various academic, extracurricular, and personal experiences from these past four years keeps me grounded as I prepare for post-UMBC life!
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: TED talks, Charm City Community Hot Yoga, Tutti Fruitti, lots of Bollywood, and all sorts’ of research!
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: The RLC was created because everyday UMBC students thought it would be cool to have a 24-7 study place. They told the Director of the Library and lobbied a few administrative people and add a couple of years and now we have the campus’s hub for collaborative, free, and creative community learning…(or all nighters with anyone from a close friend to a stranger). The students thought, saw, and executed the RLC project with significant investments in time, and the fruition of their project blew them away. Besides this story, a little known fact that I’d like to share with anyone in the UMBC community is that if you think it, it can happen. Take advantage of this fun fact and be empowered to see your own visions for your own community, UMBC, Baltimore, and beyond, through.
Last thing I'd like to share: here are a couple of my favorite TED talks…maybe you’ll enjoy!
1.The Happy Secret to Better Work http://www.ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work.html
2. Battling Bad Science http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_battling_bad_science.html

Student Position on Md. Higher Ed Commission
The Maryland Higher Education Commission is the state's coordinating and planning board for higher education. 12 gubernatorial appointees, including one university student, participate in approving new academic programs, establishing budget guidelines, administering state financial aid programs and much more. A year ago, the high-profile Student Commissioner position was held by a UMBC graduate student, Alexia Van Orden. A few years before that, the position was held by UMBC undergraduate Josh Michael. Could you be next? Send me an email at dhoffman@umbc.edu and I'll forward you background information and the application form. The application is due May 14th. Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply.

Represent Undergrads on Student Activities Fee Board
The Student Activities Fee is the smallest of the six mandatory fees paid each semester by every UMBC undergraduate, but it goes a long way. The Student Activities Fee pays for the programs created by the Student Events Board, all student organization events funded through the SGA Finance Board, The Retriever Weekly, SGA's programs and operations, and two full-time staff members. It also helps pay for the STRiVE leadership retreat, Welcome Week, Celebrate Black & Gold and other UMBC programs for students.
SGA, SEB and The Retriever Weekly develop plans for putting the fee to use each year, and those plans must be approved by the Student Activities Fee Review Board, a group composed of student, faculty and staff representatives chaired by UMBC's Vice President for Student Affairs. Three student positions (two members and one alternate) are available for 2012-2013. See below for an invitation and additional details from Joe Regier, Executive Direct of The Commons, and consider applying.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEES REVIEW BOARD
The Student Activities Fees Review Board (SAFRB) is seeking an applicant to serve on the board whose active participation is anticipated for a two-year term. In accordance with Board of Regents Policy 110.0 V-100-Policy on Student Affairs, the SAFRB is established to review the allocation of the Student Activities Fee as proposed by the Student Government Association and various other student fee funded organizations. The SAFRB is further charged with determining formats, guidelines, criteria, and procedures for the submission of budget proposals and allocation of the Student Activities Fee at UMBC.
The Board shall have the authority to recommend the proposed budget to the President for approval, or to remand the proposed budgets back to the SGA and organizations for reconsideration.
The SAFRB typically meets five (5) times during the spring semester during free hour and as necessary during the fall semester to address special budgetary considerations. The first scheduled meeting for the coming year is February 8, 2013, (12:00 noon-1:00 pm). SAFRB meetings are scheduled thereafter concluding in late April or early May. The appointed applicant must be available for the important budget process orientation at the first meeting of the spring semester.
If you are interested in applying, please compose a paragraph highlighting your college/campus affiliations, extracurricular activities, and interest in serving. This can be forwarded to my e-mail address, regier@umbc.edu, or you may drop the information by my office in Suite 335 of The Commons. Please be sure to include current contact information in your paragraph of application.
After a review of applicants’ materials, a committee will forward the nominee’s name to the Vice-President for Student Affairs (SAFRB Chairperson) for consideration. The successful nominee will be informed by e-mail.
As mentioned previously, the work of the board will focus on budget review and the student government process.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Joe Regier
Executive Director - The Commons
