"Events and Programming as Inclusive Process" seeks to help students develop programming which connects multiple communities through shared activities and spaces, and addresses the importance of creating programs and events which respond to community needs, feedback, and assets.

Working through an ABCD process, participants can move towards whole-community mobilization through mapping the capacities assets of individuals, associations, and institutions while building relationships.

CLDR 410-03, Budgeting for Community Impact with Candace Chance (Baltimore Nonprofit Strategist and Director of the Vision, Performance & Impact Firm)
When/Where: Wednesday nights, 4:30 - 7:00pm, 4/15/26 - 513/26 at the Lion Brothers Building classroom in Southwest Baltimore City (on the UMBC shuttle route).
Course Description: Have you heard the saying, Put your money where your mouth is? If not, it is a saying that means to follow through on something you said. Organizations say a lot through their marketing, their grant proposals, and ultimately through their vision, mission, and values. But there's one major way to see if they're really walking the walk or just talking: their BUDGET! An organization's budget is their accountability to the things that they say. This course will teach students how to align their values and their intended impact with their budgets so that they can stand in integrity.

Departments will soon have the ability to view nonexempt applications as soon as they are submitted in Page Up and in New status.  Currently, nonexempt applications are reviewed for minimum qualifications by a member of the Talent Acquisition team prior to being forwarded to the hiring department.  In order to align the nonexempt process with the exempt staff process, the hiring manager and/or search committee chair will now review nonexempt applications for minimum qualifications.  

This change will take effect on Monday, February 2, 2026 for all newly submitted nonexempt job requisitions.  Any position that is already in recruitment will continue to follow the current procedures until the position is filled.

As a reminder, all applicants must meet the minimum qualifications as written on the job posting in order to move forward in the hiring process.

A training session on application review will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026 at  10:00 a.m.  The webinar will be recorded for future viewing.

I want to point out that the backup chillers on the roof are located directly across from the from the research wing elevator. With the the chillers running, there is a noticeable hum the closer you get to the 4th floor. This is not unusual but I did want to make everyone aware that this is not a problem with the elevator it self. 

Work on the chilled water loop is scheduled to finish up the Morning of January 19th, so please be patient.

Dear UMBC Campus Community,

Happy New Year!

I am delighted to share good news about Dr. Yvette Mozie-Ross ’88, vice provost for enrollment management and planning.

When I began at UMBC more than three years ago, we intentionally staffed the president’s office with a small, strategic team of three members. As the university continues to grow, and as we look ahead to the next phase of UMBC’s future, the scope and complexity of our work have expanded significantly. This includes deepening existing and new partnerships that benefit the institution; increasing UMBC’s visibility and engagement across Baltimore, the state, and the region; and advancing key initiatives associated with our forthcoming strategic plan. At this moment, we need an exceptional leader to help drive these efforts forward.

I am confident Yvette is that leader who can hit the ground running. Effective August 1, 2026, she will join my office as senior advisor to the president for strategic initiatives. With Yvette in this new role, UMBC is getting the best of both worlds: a deeply trusted and accomplished campus leader who knows our community well and a respected ambassador with a strong record of building meaningful relationships across the region and state. Yvette has also been a consistent champion of UMBC’s students, mission, and values.

While this move takes a highly respected leader out of Provost and Senior Vice President Manfred van Dulmen’s leadership team, he agrees that it is the right opportunity at the right time for the university. Provost van Dulmen will share additional information later this month regarding the search process to fill the vice provost for enrollment management and planning position.

Until August, Yvette will continue to lead enrollment management and planning, ensuring a smooth transition for her team.

Please join me in congratulating Yvette on her new role, and thanking her for her continued leadership and service to UMBC.

Sincerely,

President Valerie Sheares Ashby
