Real People Profiles: K. Jill Barr
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: Born in Petersburg, West Virginia. Most of childhood and teenage years in Laurel, Delaware
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 5 years
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Assistant Dean for Graduate Enrollment Management
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Essentially I oversee the Graduate admissions process and have helped to implement the Student Administration module of PeopleSoft.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: During our orientation program, when I look upon the faces of the incoming graduate students, I see such promise and excitement in those faces. That is the culmination of our efforts to bring these students to UMBC and it is very satisfying.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: I’m not sure where I learned this exactly, but the most important thing I have learned in life is to treat others with dignity and respect, no matter who they are or the title they hold.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: I know I will get flak for this…. The New York Yankees! (born and bred a fan)
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: There is this little path that you can take from Parking Lot #24 over to the TRC building and you have to ford a small stream. It’s like having 60 seconds of you own little nature walk.

Exam Stories
In the fall of my junior year in college, I got stuck with a final exam in the very last possible time block, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on a Friday. The test--on industrial organization theory--was more conceptually difficult than it was time-consuming, and after a little less than two hours I had completed what I considered to be a first draft. That left a little more than an hour to review my answers, look for weaknesses and correct errors.
I took a minute to relax and stretch. There were windows high on the left wall of the room, and from my desk I could see that the sky had gone completely dark. I imagined myself walking out of the room into that evening, with weeks of vacation ahead, and a reunion with my high school friends planned for that very night. But I banished the thought, because there was still an hour's worth of work to do: time to polish the rough text I had thrown onto the pages of my bluebook.
That was when the chimes began. UCLA has a speaker system that occasionally broadcasts the melodic sounds of a carillon from the library building's bell tower. No doubt it wasn't supposed to start playing during a final exam period, but there it was, impossible to ignore. The tune it was playing, gently and insistently (and quite loudly), was "Silent Night." BONG bong bong BONG. (I put down my pen). BONG bong bong BONG. (I started to think about how nice it would be when the stress of finals left my body, as soon as I turned in my exam and walked out the door). BONG BONG bong. BONG BONG bong.
It probably took 45 seconds before my will to resist was completely destroyed, and I turned in my exam and wandered happily into the December night.
Good luck on all of your exams and papers. The welcoming December nights await you too, after this last push. And luckily for you, UMBC doesn't have a carillon attached to a loudspeaker system (at least, as far as you know).
For your amusement, here are some links to a few of my other exam stories--

Real People Profiles: Chantelle Walsh
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: Cumberland, Maryland
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 3 1/2 Years
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:Panhellenic Council President, Recording Secretary for Phi Mu Fraternity for Women.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I pretend to oversee the activities of PHA.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: Getting to watch and help my fellow PHA women grow into strong leaders. I love being able to see first hand how the greek experience can encourage people to become the best they can be.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Being strong doesn't mean being the loudest person in the room or the last one to cry. To truly be a strong person is to be completely honest with yourself and with others, to have the courage to talk about your weaknesses and your darkest moments.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Working together. I have always been very independent but after my first few failed attempts at programming without asking for help I realized that it is just impossible. Whether you are studying, planning a charity event, or robbing a bank working as a team always leads to better results.
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: I once -almost- caught a squirrel in my lacrosse stick.

Real People Profiles: Sameera Syed
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: Burtonsville, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: A little over three years.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:Currently just a member of a few different orgs; previously a First Year Ambassador and Senator in the SGA.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Elusive creature that lurks the halls of PuP.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: Being a student. I finally began to savor my undergraduate experience after my sophomore year, in which I pulled a 180 by making a drastic change of major. Since then, I have been able to understand what it means to truly love academia. By switching my field to one that actually fascinates me, I have come to enjoy the simplest of school related things, such as attending classes and being in the presence of my professors and classmates.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Don’t be afraid of changing the entire direction of your life in order to reach your fullest potential. If you genuinely believe that there is another pathway out there that will give you greater fulfillment, pursue it. The short-term ramifications resulting from your decision may seem insurmountable, but the true value of such a change will be seen in due time.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: 30 Rock. Love the witty jokes and ridiculous situations that the characters find themselves in. It’s like a celebration of absurdity, awkwardness, and nerdyness… what more could you want?!
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: As an incoming freshman, I remember coming across discussions on Facebook in which new students defended their decision to choose UMBC over other more prestigious universities. It was as if coming to UMBC required a really good explanation... as if “u must be crazy” to have enrolled here. Now that I’m nearing the end of my time here, I’ve realized how baseless this notion is. I’ve developed a great deal of respect for my professors and have met students who will one day be the movers and shakers of tomorrow. I’ve been able to build a strong foundation for my future academic and professional pursuits and have enjoyed the process of doing so... I guess those who reject a school, idea, or concept just have yet to gain from the very thing they’ve dismissed.

Real People Profiles: Jonathan Law
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: I grew up in Silver Spring, now live in Boyds, and went to high school in Rockville, so I consider myself a Montgomery County resident at large.
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my fourth year!
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:I am the Representative Liaison for QUMBC, VP of Volunteers with Major Inspiration. I'm also in SGA's Health and Wellness and WILL (Women Involved with Leadership and Learning).
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Collaborating to create social justice actions at UMBC. Oh, and take classes?
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love the idea of training little activists. At QUMBC, we have developed a horizontal structure that emphasizes members developing the skills to implement their own ideas to change the community. Basically, I want QUMBC to drive David Hoffman out of his job.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The strengths perspective in social work. It is taught in opposition to the problem-centered perspective, which emphasizes clients as problems that need to be solved by social workers. Instead, the strengths perspective wants social workers to acknowledge clients as the experts and masters of their own lives and that social workers are there to advocate for clients and empower them to change their own lives.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Context. Reductionism is my archenemy; I just want to contextualize, historicize, and complicate everything. It makes it difficult to create solutions when your problems are big and ancient instead of mindless beasts to slay, but that's what you have to do if you really want to effect change. You can't just focus on saving the deer when preserving an ecosystem or just hand a patient a prescription when treating them for a chronic problem: you have to situate problems in the greater context and in the systems involved. (And that is when you smash the patriarchal capitalist state.)
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 professors and staff around you are not just teachers. They are (sometimes) amazing people with great stories and experience and knowledge and you need to tap that like they're maple trees and you have the driest pancakes ever. Talk to them, connect with them!
If nothing else, they may be more lenient with your final grade when you're BFFs.
