The $25,000 grants will make UMBC and Loyola’s Sellinger School the first two formally designated Kiva U chapters in Maryland. Kiva U seeks to engage students and educators in a global effort to expand financial inclusion, foster community, and have a tangible positive impact on issues that matter to them. OneMain Financial Community Relations Director Sheldon Caplis says, “OneMain Financial wants to help young people learn about the impact of microfinance and give them new tools to help shape their philanthropic values. These campus lending chapters will empower students to be responsible for important funding decisions and bring their entrepreneurial energy to low and moderate income communities.” UMBC is quickly building a national reputation as a hub for scholars committed to making a difference as socially engaged community leaders and global citizens. The University is launching the UMBC-Kiva Lending Chapter in conjunction with BreakingGround, UMBC’s civic engagement initiative. BreakingGround combines faculty-led course redesign, community-based action research, and civic engagement opportunities to demonstrate the power of individuals and collaborative groups as agents of meaningful change and renewal. Under the auspices of BreakingGround and UMBC’s Shriver Center, students will work with faculty and staff to develop a management team that will create marketing strategies and engage campus partners to support local, national and international communities. Planning began this summer, with the goal of awarding the first round of up to 10 loans in spring 2015. David Hoffman, assistant director of student life for civic agency, says, “The Kiva project matches the spirit of BreakingGround, as well as the mission of UMBC, perfectly. It will put our students in a position to take real responsibility for nurturing entrepreneurial efforts that can help transform lives and communities.” Loyola’s Kiva U chapter will funnel loans internationally as well as to organizations along the York Road corridor in Baltimore as part of the school’s commitment to the area. Loyola’s York Road Initiative, which began in 2008, aims to improve the quality of life for people living, working and learning in the York Road corridor. “Kiva micro loans, facilitated by our students, give someone a chance to grow a small idea a little bigger. It also tells them that someone believes in their idea and is willing to invest in them,” says Karyl B. Leggio, professor of finance, Loyola’s Sellinger School of Business. About OneMain Financial OneMain Financial is based in Baltimore and provides personal loans and one-on-one, local service from more than 1,100 branches nationwide. Since 1912, OneMain Financial has worked with customers to find the loan solutions that best fit their needs and budget. The company and its employees are proud to support the communities where they live and work. Additional information may be found at OneMainFinancial.com. About UMBC The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) offers the intimacy of a liberal arts college within the setting of a major research institution. UMBC's 14,000 students come from nearly 150 countries and take full advantage of the educational, business, cultural and recreational resources of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. At UMBC you’ll find students working alongside faculty who are leaders in their fields, thinking about the hard questions of society, science and creative expression, and then moving beyond the classroom to make a difference. About Loyola University Maryland’s Sellinger School of Business and Management The Sellinger School provides business education rooted in the Jesuit tradition of emphasizing strong ethical leadership, commitment to social responsibility and a global perspective. With more than 60 faculty members and 2,000 students, the Sellinger School offers undergraduate and graduate degrees. Part-time, weekend and full-time MBAs, specialized master’s degrees as well as certificate programs are delivered on campuses in Baltimore, Columbia and Timonium, Md.

So here we are at last: all of us, together. This is the week of fresh beginnings, and of getting our first taste of the community we have become with the addition of so many new members. We are just starting to discover what the new students are bringing: their energy, hopes, insights and talents, in infinite forms and shades. The new students, in turn, are just beginning to discover UMBC's wonderful culture and quirks.

One site for this discovery was the Welcome Week Public Service Announcement program (Monday in the University Center), where new students heard words of wisdom about how to take care of themselves and others in our campus community: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Step up and intervene when you see friends engaged in risky behaviors. Be thoughtful about sharing on social media. Recognize that the people around you may be carrying burdens you can't see, so be respectful. And, of course, wash your underwear.

All of this is clearly good advice, to which we want to add one more nugget of wisdom. It's an idea so deeply embedded in UMBC's culture, history and practices that you'll see it everywhere if you look closely:

UMBC is a community of people who want to make a difference, and we make it here, together: faculty, staff and students. We are thinkers, but we're also doers: scrappy, determined, creative producers of knowledge, organizations, activities, positive social change, and every aspect of what you will come to know as UMBC. We are all different, but that's the source of our power and our capacity to build: each of us contributes the passions, hopes, experiences, skills and insights that make us unique. They're the raw materials for our collective work. Each of us matters, and we're all co-creators; each of us in the spotlight, none of us merely a spectator.

This culture is as old as UMBC's first paved walkways, which the builders waited to design until they saw where people chose to walk, footprints marking paths across open fields. It is a culture that is inspiring other colleges and universities to seek inclusive excellence, and helping to fuel new visions of vibrant, democratic innovation across the nation. And now it is your culture: to explore, enjoy, and continue making.

So get involved in the myriad UMBC projects and organizations that are helping to shape this community and communities beyond the campus. Bring your whole self, your untapped potential, your still-only-half-discovered passions, your willingness to take a risk and think new thoughts. Join your unfolding story to the story of this community. Make UMBC your own, and in doing so, make it anew, better than ever.

In the years since, Irene has cultivated a multidisciplinary conceptual practice, working at the intersection of print media, papermaking, installation, storytelling performance, and book arts. Her recent work stretches the physicality of the book form while exploring popular culture, racial stereotypes, autobiography, and oral history. 

Irene Chan has self-published 29 limited-edition artist books as Ch’An Press and has exhibited and performed her work at over 76 venues in the last 10 years.
