UMBC College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is the recipient of a $750,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation for a “Global Asias Initiative” (PI: Dean Moffitt; Co-PI Tamara Bhalla). This project will bring a post-doc into the Asian Studies Program as well as host a series of workshops, lectures, and events over the next two and a half years centered on this framework for studying Asia by bringing traditional Asian Studies, Asian American Studies, and diaspora studies into conversation.

The opening workshop will explore the concept of Global Asias and consider how what we do at UMBC already might fit into that paradigm. Please join us for the whole day or parts of it, if you are able.

Workshop Schedule: 

Welcome and Morning Session with Dr. Theodore Gonzalves,  "What makes an object APA vs Global vs Asian?" (11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.)

Interactive Lunch: Shaping Global Asias at UMBC (12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.)

The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Summer Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming students VIRTUALLY during the months of June-August in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary! Upon hire, YOU will be given the opportunity to select which days you are available to advise.

We are particularly excited to bring full-time staff in for this role. As Orientation Advising occurs during regular business hours, we can't offer compensation outside of your existing pay for those hours, and you are encouraged to work with your supervisor to be released from other duties during the scheduled session hours. I would be pleased to be part of any such discussion to highlight how your participation can benefit your department!

How does this benefit you? Orientation Advising is a unique professional development opportunity. Advisors are trained in an intensive full-day virtual session, and then gain real-world experience working with students. We believe so strongly in the value added to participants that, for the first time ever, advisors this year will be eligible to receive the Orientation Advisor microcredential, which highlights the customer service, analytical, and communication skills required for the role.

We are offering informational sessions for anyone interested or who even just might be interested in finding out about this exciting opportunity to expand their skillsets, make meaningful connections, serve their departments, and get paid!
  • TUESDAY, March 5 at noon, in-person at Sherman Hall (B-Wing) 220
  • MONDAY, March 11 at 5:30, online here
More info on these can be found on our myUMBC page here.

To apply, please submit a completed application, together with a resume and cover letter, by Friday, March 15 here. 

Contact Laszlo Korossy at korossy1@umbc.edu with questions.
