Hi everyone,

I’m urgently looking for a safe, affordable, and cat-friendly room near UMBC. I’m a college student with an emotional support cat (ESA), so pet-friendly housing is a must.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • Private room, furnished if possible
  • Month-to-month lease (not locked into a full-year commitment)
  • Budget: up to $600/month (ideally with utilities included)
  • ESA/cat-friendly
  • Accessible to UMBC (short drive)

I’m quiet, clean, respectful, and focused on staying safe and stable wduring the rest of the summer or beyond. If you know of any options — or have a space — please reach out.

Diane Alonso, a teaching professor and director of UMBC’s psychology program at the Universities at Shady Grove, has been named one of two senior fellows for generative AI pedagogy at the William E. Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation. The center was established in 2013 by the University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents and aims to be a focal point for advancing academic innovation both within Maryland and across higher education nationally.

She will work alongside the other senior fellow—Tracy Tomlinson of the University of Maryland, College Park—and Jennifer Potter, the associate director at the Kirwan Center, to lead the development of the Kirwan Center’s generative AI programming in the 2025 – 2026 academic year. This includes the development of a curriculum to train and collaborate with select faculty from across the USM system in best practices for classroom use of generative AI, a type of AI that can create new content, including text, images, audio, and video, in response to prompts. These faculty will then convey the lessons from the sessions to their respective campus colleagues in spring 2026.

Poster for National Cancer Survivor Month by UMBC Accessibility and Disability Services. At the center, two hands are gently holding each other, symbolizing unity and support. A white cancer awareness ribbon loops around their arms. The text reads: “National Cancer Survivor Month” in bold, dark lettering. The UMBC logo appears in the top left corner.

With over 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S., it's clear that research is making a difference—but the journey doesn't end at survival. One in four survivors reports poor physical health, and one in ten faces challenges with mental health. We are proud to highlight the work of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which is leading the way in survivorship science—improving outcomes and saving lives.
