Critical Questions in Education Conference
Registration for the 11th Annual conference is open
The Academy for Educational Studies will have its 11th Critical Questions in Education Conference in Baltimore on November 2-4 at the Hyatt Inner Harbor Hotel.
The conference themes for this conference are:
Teaching the disciplines: How are we doing?
What is it we want students to know and understand from, or about, the disciplines we teach, at both the K—12 and university levels? What are the truths the different disciplines aspire to reveal—the big questions they ask and try to answer, the perfection they seek to attain? How well do K—12 and university teachers convey these truths or give students access to them?
Why don’t we read serious books anymore?
Should we care that so many students, and so many teachers, can’t or don’t want to read books—not just at the K—12 level, but in colleges and universities, too?
You can find information about the program and registration in the documents attached.

Real People Profiles: Cory Bosco
We're 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.
Name: Cory Bosco
Hometown: East Alton, IL
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my first semester at UMBC
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Coordinator of Student Life for Fraternities and Sororities
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Advise the fraternities and sororities as well as their respective governing councils.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I truly enjoy working with the students here at UMBC.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I would say that the most important thing I have learned in my time is that everyone has a story. Each person is unique in the story that they have lived. These differences are important to each person and make us who we are.
Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?
A: Last year I had the privileged of being a staff leader for the Alternative Winter Break trip to Kitty Hawk, NC with the fraternity and sorority members of the Rutgers community. While in North Carolina, our group worked with the Nature Conservancy to help keep the delicate ecosystem of the Outer Banks in balance by preventing erosion and promoting the growth of plant life. Participants on the trip saw firsthand the effects of human development upon climate change concerns and the fragile ecosystems that exist along the coasts around the world.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
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: So far my favorite spot on campus is in the Student Organization space in the Commons. I enjoy this spot because I get to see so many students as they help make positive change here at UMBC.

Your UMBC Bucket List
What's on Yours?
by David Hoffman
Poulomi's tweet demonstrates that she's participating in two UMBC traditions. The first is creating a UMBC Bucket List of all things you aspire to do during your time here. The second is actually doing those things.
Early September is the time for Bucket List-making. In my 12 (now 13) Septembers at UMBC I've made many lists, and then checked off many items: I've toured the roof of the Administration Building with President Hrabowski, seen performances in two venues in the Performing Arts & Humanities Building, written a post that got more than 400 paws on MyUMBC (it was April Fool's Day), participated in a campus flash mob, had photos I took published in The Retriever Weekly and on the UMBC home page, developed and taught a course, shared my research and campus projects at national conferences, and earned a Ph.D. (and so became a UMBC alum, in addition to being a staff member).

Now (again) it's your turn. September is here: a new beginning for all of us. What's on your UMBC Bucket List? Share some of what you'd like to accomplish by leaving a comment here, and let's help each other fulfill our hopes.
Co-Create UMBC is a blog for and about UMBC, written by David Hoffman and Craig Berger from UMBC Student Life. Join the Co-Create UMBC group on MyUMBC. Like Co-Create UMBC on Facebook. And follow David and Craig on Twitter.
