Real People Profiles: Alison Rohrbach
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.
Name: Alison Rohrbach
Hometown: Towson, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 5 years.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Assistant Director of University Health Services.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I educate the campus on health and wellness issues.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I am so proud of the work done by the UHS Peer Health Advocates. These students are some of the most amazing people I have ever worked with, and I could never thank them enough for all of their hard work and contributions. I also really enjoy the connections and friendships I have made with staff members at UMBC. From day one of working here, I have felt welcomed by so many people.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most important thing I learned in college, that has been reinforced during my time at UMBC is to embrace the diversity that is around you. Growing up in a small town, I was not exposed to a lot of diversity. After going away to college, I met so many people from different cultures, religions, etc. Being at UMBC has made this experience even greater for me. I feel very fortunate to work somewhere that has so much diversity.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Being a mom! I have an 18 month old son name Cole who keeps me on my toes and cracks me up every day! I just love being his mom.
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: When I came in for my interview in 2005, I had to do a health education presentation for UHS staff. I brought my presentation on a floppy disk! They had to call a staff person to convert it on their computer since no computers had floppy drives anymore. I cannot believe they still hired me! Hey, I have never claimed that technology was my strong point!

Digital Storytelling Workshop for Faculty, Jan. 19-21 2011
A three-day digital storytelling workshop for faculty will be held at UMBC on January 19, 20 and 21, 2011. Staff from the UMBC’s New Media Studio will conduct the workshop, during which participants will learn about the digital storytelling process while creating their own personal story.
Bringing together writing, photography and audio, the digital storytelling process facilitates the telling of personal and reflective stories in the form of digital movies. Through the process of producing their own digital stories over a three-day period, workshop participants gain insight into potential application of this approach in their own teaching. Here are samples from last years’s workshop.
There are a limited number of seats available for faculty from other area institutions. The fee for non-UMBC faculty will be $500.
If you are interested in reserving a seat please contact Bill Shewbridge at shewbrid@umbc.edu . Preference will be given to those who have not taken one of our workshops before, however alumni are welcome to join us if space is available.
