Starting something new
Dear UMBC Community, 

Happy Monday! This fall, I am starting something new, which I hope becomes a routine, and maybe even a tradition: a weekly glimpse into the inspiration that I encounter on a daily basis. 

The idea is to share with you one such moment each week—fittingly, on Monday, my favorite day of the week. This is not going to be a space to promote events or to communicate lengthy information. It will be a simple, brief message from me to you, sharing a personal reflection or a moment of inspiration or appreciation that occurs over the course of my work and interactions on campus and beyond. I hope these messages will bring you a bit of joy and serve as inspiring reminders of the wonderful work of this institution and its relevance and value in the world. 

So, let’s get started! I can think of no better way to kick off these messages than with a celebration of the amazing incoming class we have just welcomed to campus. With huge thanks to Yvette Mozie-Ross, our vice provost for enrollment management and planning, and her entire team, we have just welcomed the largest incoming class in UMBC’s history—with significant increases in our transfer student population and in the number of students from Baltimore City!

Sincerely,

President Valerie Sheares Ashby

UMBC continues to lead nationally in digital credentialing, granting over 3,500 microcredentials annually to more than 1,500 learners. These microcredentials allow students to demonstrate mastery of course outcomes in a way that directly aligns with NACE competencies, effectively connecting academic achievement with professional readiness.

As part of UMBC’s involvement in the Learning and Employment Record (LER) Accelerator Cohort, we are expanding microcredentials into for-credit courses and programs. To support this initiative, the Microcredential Mapping Bootcamp will give faculty the tools, guidance, and collaborative environment needed to design and propose microcredentials that align well with their existing courses.

About the Bootcamp

This two-day, hands-on workshop (Winter 2026) invites faculty from across disciplines to:
  • Explore the purpose and structure of microcredentials at UMBC.
  • Map course learning outcomes, assessments, and criteria to microcredentials.
  • Align proposals with UMBC’s taxonomy, NACE competencies, and the Microcredential Evaluation Rubric.
  • Draft and refine proposals with peer feedback and support from staff and the Microcredential Review Board (MRB).
This bootcamp is tentatively scheduled to take place in-person on January 21 and January 22, 2026.

By the end of the bootcamp, participants will leave with one or more complete proposals ready for MRB submission.

Faculty Preparation

Faculty are expected to come prepared with at least one course that has been previously taught and will be offered again. Bringing a current syllabus, learning outcomes, and key assignments will ensure that the curriculum mapping and proposal design work are grounded in actual teaching practice.

Incentives & Support

Faculty who complete the bootcamp will receive a $1,500 stipend, which covers:
  • Full participation in the two-day workshop
  • Submission and approval of one or more microcredential proposals by the MRB
  • Implementation of approved microcredentials in a for-credit course
  • Sharing project outcomes externally (such as a blog post, publication, or Provost’s Symposium presentation)
Breakfast and lunch will be provided both days, with ongoing support available from staff and MRB members after the bootcamp.
