Autism is a Spectrum- and Acceptance Matters


April is known as Autism Awareness Month, including April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day (link).   In listening to many within the Autism community - there is a call for media to move from outdated and using awareness to acceptance to foster change and inclusivity for those affected by autism - experience more about Autism Society's Autism IS series here.  Information on What is Autism is linked here, and a deeper dive sharing the voices of many people on the Autism Spectrum is posted here.

On April 25, Maryland Governor Wes Moore proclaimed April as Autism Awareness Month  and Lieutenant Governor Aruna K. Miller presented the Governor’s proclamation to recognize people who are living with autism and those who advocate on their behalf, and honor the contributions of the autism community. She was joined by Maryland Department of Disabilities Secretary Carol Beatty and Maryland Statewide Autism Coordinator Victoria Rodriguez-Roldán in unveiling Maryland’s five-year Autism State Plan.


Being on the Autism Spectrum is a nuanced diagnosis with a wide range of traits, and is explained well here.  For a more visual presentation, Rebecca Burgess also explains the spectrum within her comic on The Mighty. Day-to-day living and learning independence was recently examined in depth on PBS's In a Different Key which covers the history of autism and highlights the experience of a range of people with autism, their families and their community.

Recently, autism has been in the news, resulting in leading autism organizations to release this joint statement on upholding scientific integrity and supporting the autism community. 

Finally, as we close out Autism Awareness Month, it's important to move beyond basic awareness and focus on real understanding. There are still many myths about autism that create barriers for autistic individuals. With understanding, acceptance, and respect for different communication styles, we can help create a more inclusive world. These facts are based on resources from the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Different Minds Scotland, two organizations doing critical work to promote accurate information about autism. Let's keep learning, listening, and working toward true inclusion, not just in April, but all year long.

People of all identities around the world live, go to school and go to work with the neurodiversity that Autism brings to a world, often with struggle and difficulty. UMBC's students, faculty, staff, and visitors have this neurodiversity as well.  While many learn and work well with best practices and accessible design,  students (both undergraduate and graduate), as well as faculty and staff who experience disability with a diagnosed health condition (which includes autism) may seek accommodations through Student Disability Services (link) for academic programs, as well as work-related accommodations via Accessibility & Disability Services.

Greetings,

Partly due to some of the  recent rumors that have been circulating over the past several weeks, OSP would like to remind UMBC’s Research and Creative Achievement (RCA) community of best practices regarding sponsored projects. 

Principal Investigators should retain a copy of ALL deliverables that have been submitted to a Sponsor as well as ANY record of confirmation or acceptance of the deliverable by the Sponsor.  Sponsors will often send formal acceptance emails of deliverables and reports that have been submitted. Grant portals, such as research.gov or eRA Commons, will also have a record of these submissions and confirmation which may be printed (print to PDF or paper) or saved with a screen shot (as a PDF or picture). 

All of the documentation should be retained for no less than three (3) years after the end of the award to comply with federal record retention regulations.

Best Regards,

The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP)

The UMBC Undergraduate Research Award program is looking for strong students interested in doing research on a topic of their choice over the summer and next school year. The Director of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships, April Householder, and the faculty Chair of the URA committee, Carolyn Forestiere, ask that you send a note to your faculty encouraging them to consider identifying and mentoring strong students who may be interested in applying for this special opportunity. The maximum award is $1,500, and can be used for: equipment or supplies specific to a research project, payment or other rewards to subjects who participate in a research project, photocopying or printing of project-related materials, travel if necessary to complete a project, costs associated with attending a special program for specific training to be used in the research project, or a stipend that is paid directly to the student researcher to replace income lost due to the research work. The URA program is part of UMBC's brand of promoting strong undergraduate research and we hope we receive many great applications from interested students who would work with their mentors over the summer and next school year. 
The URA website has great information and examples of successful proposals. 
Please reach out to either April or Carolyn if you have questions.

Dear UMBC Community,

We are pleased to announce that finalists for the senior vice provost for academic affairs position will be visiting campus to participate in candidate forums and engage with the UMBC community.

A newly envisioned position at UMBC, elevating the former role of vice provost for academic affairs, the senior vice provost will serve as an academic leader in the Office of the Provost and as the deputy provost. The most senior of the six vice provosts, the position will lead in the areas of academic resource planning and management, curricular affairs, accreditation and assessment, and large-scale initiatives. The senior vice provost will also serve as a spokesperson for academic affairs and will represent the provost and UMBC at public-facing events. 

We invite you to join us for the first of four candidate forums:

Candidate 1

Date: Thursday, May 1, 2025

Time: 1 p.m.

Location: Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

Times and locations for the additional forums will be announced in the coming days.

The candidate will share their academic journey, present a vision for academic affairs, and participate in an open Q&A session with attendees. The session will be moderated by Karl V. Steiner, vice president for research and creative achievement and chair of the search committee.

Your participation is vital to the selection process, and we encourage you to join us for this important event.


Manfred H. M. van Dulmen

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
