This event will occur on Friday, November 17, from 12:00 PM (Noon) to 1:00 PM in Commons 329. During this information session Dr. Brian Souders, UMBC's own Fulbright Program Advisor extraordinaire, will talk about three different Fulbright programs graduate students (master's and PhDs and, in some cases, recent alumni) can pursue/apply for; topics that will be included are, what are the differences between those programs, eligibility, how to choose the correct program for you, and how to start the application process.

Fulbright programs: 

Scholar Post-doc program is an option for final year doctoral students for a 1-3 year opportunity overseas, so it can be for recent alumni, but mainly for students in their last year of their doctoral programs.
 
About Fulbright:

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to build lasting connections between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The Fulbright Program is funded through an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Participating governments and host institutions, corporations, and foundations around the world also provide direct and indirect support to the Program, which operates in over 160 countries worldwide.

If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is earning a Master's degree or Ph.D. degree, you could be one of more than 2,200 students who receive a Fulbright grant each year to go to one of more than 160 countries worldwide. It awards grants in nearly all fields and disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) fields, and creative and performing arts.

Note: Fulbright Student and Fulbright Scholar require US citizenship at the time of application. Fulbright Hays is US citizens/permanent residents.

On the stage of the 35th annual Alumni Awards, awardees and their nominators repeated a shared theme: the freedom and flexibility to grow at UMBC—not alone—but in community.

Presented by the Alumni Association Board of Directors, the event recognizes inspiring alumni in a range of fields, as well as a rising star and an outstanding faculty and staff member. Rehana Shafi, recipient of the inaugural staff award, emphasized that she was only able to do so much “with so many.” Shafi, director emerita of the Sherman Teacher Scholars Program, said: “This work, this way, isn’t an individual endeavor….Impact happens inside of relationships.”

The full circle moment

Several of the alumni recipients have come back to work at UMBC. Recipient of the Outstanding Engineering and Information Technology alumna award, Annica Wayman ’99, mechanical engineering, called it her “full circle” moment. Wayman, now associate dean for Shady Grove Affairs in the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, said, “Now that I’m on the ‘inside’ as a faculty member, it’s the same as I observed as a student and alumna—UMBC’s commitment to inclusive excellence, innovative teaching, and supportive community is authentic and I have the chance to see it every day working with UMBC faculty and staff.”

Josh Michael ’10, political science, Ph.D. ’22, public policy, found his why at UMBC. “I knew I was planted in the right place,” he said, “a place where I would evolve and grow…. It is here at UMBC where I developed a voice and confidence to lead in public education.” Michael, the awardee for Outstanding Alumnus in Social and Behavioral Sciences, is dedicated to public service and community engagement.

A former Baltimore City math teacher and now executive director of the Sherman Family Foundation, Michael took the opportunity on the stage to remind the audience, “For as a community, it is how we treat other people’s children that demonstrates our collective belief in our future.”

Creativity rooted in big ideas

Another teacher was honored for his long commitment to Maryland’s children. James Dorsey ’05, music technology and vocal performance, is in his 19th year as an elementary music teacher. He shared that, “All of our creativity is rooted in big ideas. Ideas that relate to our shared human experience and how we interact in our world.”

Dorsey, who received the award for Outstanding Alumnus in the Visual and Performing Arts, said, “I’m blessed to get to help students express their messages and respond to their cultures through creating. It sets a precedent that the arts are a natural way to respond to the issues of our community, self-expression, coping with change, and social justice.”

Other 2023 Outstanding Alumni awardees include: Humanities—Aaron Ralby ’05, English and modern languages and linguistics; and, Natural and Mathematical Sciences—Kay Bidle ’91, biological sciences. The Rising Star award was given to Asif Majid ’13, interdisciplinary studies, and the Outstanding Faculty award was presented to E.F. Charles LaBerge, Ph.D. ’03, professor of the practice in computer science and electrical engineering at UMBC.

I’m pleased to announce that Courtney Hobson will be the new Manager of Programs in the Dresher Center, effective Nov.1. Courtney has done extraordinary work in her time as Coordinator, managing the Humanities Forum and contributing to nearly every aspect of the Dresher Center above and beyond her official duties. Her new role will acknowledge this work and make more formal her role in managing the Forum and other Dresher programs and workshops. She will also step into some of Rachel Brubaker’s former duties as well as partner with me and the Dresher Center team to support and promote humanities work on and off campus. Please join me in congratulating Courtney!

 

I am also pleased to welcome Jacqui Lom as Administrative Assistant (part-time) in the Dresher Center. Jacqui has been doing a terrific job working with the Humanities and Linnehan Scholars programs and we’re grateful for her willingness to take on some additional tasks in support of the Center.  Welcome Jacqui!

Robert Emberson (617/UMBC), member of NASA's landslides team, is part of two NASA features on the integration of LHASA into the PDC's DisasterAWARE platform. 

The Landslide Hazard Assessment for Situational Awareness (LHASA) model ingests data to provide a "landslide "nowcast" - a map showing the potential of rainfall-triggered landslides occurring for any given region within the past day. This map of hazard likelihood can help agencies and officials rapidly assess areas where the current landslide risk is high. It can also give disaster response teams critical information on where a landslide may have occurred so they can investigate and deploy life-saving resources."

The Pacific Disaster Center (PDC)'s software DisasterAWARE is utilized for risk assessment and predictability of natural hazards to provide decision-makers with valuable information. "The collaboration with PDC brings NASA's landslide tool to tens of thousands of existing DisasterAWARE users, dramatically increasing LHASA's reach and effectiveness."

Read this NASA feature about how LHASA and the PDC are impacting actions taken worldwide to address and respond to natural hazards. An additional feature can be found on the NASA Applied Sciences site.
