myUMBC Answers: AI-Powered Search Bar Updates
Providing answers that are unique to you!
In early February, the myUMBC team launched my UMBC Answers, an AI-driven search bar to improve experiences for students, faculty, and staff while ensuring security and privacy. Now, all campus members have been enrolled in this new feature! It helps provide fast, accurate answers to common student questions. The common questions focus on the student experience, but future updates will incorporate resources for faculty and staff. There is an option to opt out if users prefer.
Interactive Feedback Loop:A sophisticated mechanism allows users to contribute qualitative assessments of answer accuracy. University technology architect Collier Jones emphasizes a critical advisory: "While our AI system provides remarkable support, it is not infallible. Students must exercise due diligence by independently verifying critical information."
Privacy and Security: The system has been meticulously designed with privacy protocols, ensuring the protection of sensitive student information throughout every interaction.
What can it do?
The platform empowers students by providing rapid, secure access to essential personal information, including:
Academic performance records
Financial billing statements
Retriever Card balance details
Additional Resources
The AI-powered answers system exemplifies UMBC's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance student support and institutional efficiency.
The following images show some examples of questions that MyUMBC’s Answers:

[REPOST] Inaugural Asian Cultural Celebration & Awards
RSVP today!
[ORIGINAL POST HERE]
RSVP TODAY for our end of the year Celebration & Awards!
Student Belonging (formerly known as Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, & Belonging, or i3b) in the Division of Student Affairs has hosted celebration ceremonies for Latinx, Black, and LGBTQIA+ / queer students for several years. This year, we are excited to add the Asian Cultural Celebration & Awards to the lineup. These three affinity events will honor and celebrate the achievements of UMBC's outstanding community members and graduating students.
Inaugural Asian Cultural Celebration & Awards
Thursday, May 15, 2025
5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m.
University Center Ballroom 3rd Floor
This celebration commemorates the achievements of graduating UMBC students while celebrating the vast cultural diversity of Asian communities and heritage on our campus. We recognize the difficulty of choosing just one identifier or term to capture the vast diversity of all people with heritage in the Asian continent, representing 49 countries and hundreds of cultures. We seek to honor the breadth of experience of people across Asia - East, South, Southwest, West, and Central Asia.
During the gathering, we’ll enjoy food together, we’ll showcase keynote speakers, student musical and dance performances, and award presentations to honor student contributions, as well as the faculty and staff who’ve contributed to their success.
Light refreshments and appetizers will be served starting at 5:30 pm for all guests in attendance.
Graduates must check in no later than 5:45 p.m. The program will begin promptly at 6 p.m.
Dress code: We encourage all attendees and graduates to dress in their "celebration best." While cap and gown are not required, we would be thrilled to see attendees embracing cultural attires.
For those interested in attending, RSVP HERE (https://forms.gle/1Yg5fMgzj2VsdfGC8)! Graduates that RSVP between Monday, April 14th and Monday, April 28th at 6pm will be highlighted during the event and receive honorary graduation cords.
If you have any questions, please email co-chairs: Priya Bhayana, Project Manager, Global Asias Initiative at priyab@umbc.edu and Angelina R. Jenkins, Assistant Director for The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity at arjenkins@umbc.edu.
This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

SGA Election Rule Violation Complaint
The Election Board recently received an election complaint against the Eli Gendleman/Shriya Menon Presidential campaign in reference to a social media post that was published by the Gendleman/Menon campaign in collaboration with the @umbcpolice Instagram account in which the candidates posed with UMBC’s comfort dog Chip and stated that “Chip thinks you deserve the college experience. Get what you deserve - vote us for Exec prez and VP". The complaint alleged violations of the following election rules:
Rule 17: The use of resources owned by SGA or any other UMBC office for campaign purposes is prohibited, except when the resources are available for public use. Campaigning or preparing campaign materials in the SGA Office is prohibited. Examples of prohibited conduct within the SGA office include using SGA telephones to solicit votes, wearing visible paraphernalia supporting candidate(s), and using supplies from a UMBC office to create advertising. Campaigning during SGA Open Meetings, including Senate or Finance Board meetings, is prohibited.
After careful review of the complaint and the 2025 election board rules, the Election Board did not find any evidence of rule-breaking. The Election Board voted to dismiss this complaint. As stated in Rule 17, “The use of resources owned by SGA or any other UMBC office for campaign purposes is prohibited, except when the resources are available for public use.” Considering that Officer Chip is labeled as UMBC’s comfort dog and that any student is welcome to take or post pictures with Chip and tag or invite to collaborate with Chip’s own Instagram account, this action taken by the Gendleman/Menon ticket is protected by Rule 17’s language of “except when the resources are available for public use”.
During their investigation, the Election Board contacted UMBC’s Community Outreach Sergeant, who takes care of Chip and her appearances around campus. Sergeant Cheatem confirmed that any student or candidate is able to take pictures with Chip, post them, and tag or collaborate/be posted on the campus comfort dog’s own Instagram page, which happens to have the handle @umbcpolice. Despite the handle, the Instagram account essentially functions as a fan-page for Chip, as the account is designated as a public figure and not used for any official UMBC police communications. Additionally, the Election Board discovered during their investigation that another candidate running for a different position within SGA had similarly taken pictures with Chip and co-published the post on Instagram with Chip’s account, indicating that the resources are in fact available for public use and the same actions could be taken by any candidate who requested to collaborate. Sergeant Cheatem also stated that Chip is considered available for public promotional use as the larger UMBC community’s comfort dog, and the only limiting factor of this is her schedule.
The Election Board wants to reiterate that any student who believes that they have witnessed an Election Rules violation should report a complaint to the Election Board, remembering that complaints must be filed by 48 hours after an alleged violation is discovered OR by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 18th-- whichever is earliest. Thank you.

Introducing UMBC’s Travel Advisory Board
Partnering with campus to shape a smoother, smarter travel e
To help guide the successful rollout of SAP Concur Travel at UMBC, we’ve launched the Travel Advisory Board (TAB)—a group of faculty and staff from across campus who bring valuable insight and feedback to the table. TAB was created to ensure the new travel system meets the needs of our community, improves current processes, and supports a smooth transition.
TAB members serve as liaisons to their departments, review key implementation documents, and help shape how Concur will be introduced and used across campus. Their input is essential to aligning the system with the way we work at UMBC.
We’re grateful to the inaugural members of TAB for their time, expertise, and ongoing collaboration:
Bryan Casey, AVP and Controller, Financial Services (Chair)
David Di Maria, Assistant Vice Provost for International Education
Adam Drutz-Hannahs, Assistant Manager, Financial Services
Catherine Manalansan, Administrative Assistant, JCET
Charles Nicholas, Professor, CSEE
Ken Schreihofer, Director, Business Systems, DoIT
Desiree Stonesifer, Business Manager, Administrative SSC
Margo Young, Director, Earth & Space Research Administration (ESRA)
TAB has already begun shaping key decisions that will directly impact the travel experience at UMBC. As implementation continues, the board will play a vital role in keeping the community informed, gathering feedback, and helping address questions or challenges along the way.
Have questions or want to stay in the loop? Feel free to reach out to any of the board members above—they’re here to help make Concur a success for all of us.

Assessment of Community, Engagement, and Belonging
Help us make our community continue be open fair and equal!
At UMBC, we seek to create an environment characterized by openness, fairness, and equal access for all students, staff, and faculty. A welcoming and inclusive environment is grounded in mutual respect, nurtured by dialogue, and evidenced by a pattern of civil interaction, and it is one of the foundations of our educational model. Creating and maintaining a community environment that respects individual needs, abilities, and potential is critically important.
To that end, UMBC is undertaking a campus climate assessment survey, led by the Division of Institutional Equity and its vice president, Tanyka Barber. We have engaged Rankin Climate, a firm with more than 22 years of experience in conducting more than 300 campus climate assessment projects.
A committee of faculty, staff, and students, co-chaired by Jasmine Lee, associate vice president for community and culture, and Orianne Smith, associate professor of English, is collaborating with Rankin Climate to develop and implement the assessment.
The findings will be shared with the campus community in the fall, once the data analysis is finalized. This information will help identify areas for growth in the development of new programs and policies, as well as enhance and replicate those that are already effective.
A
project website has been developed to keep the community informed about the process and results of the assessment. You will receive an email with an invitation to participate in the survey shortly.
I encourage you to join me in supporting this important initiative.
Sincerely,
President Valerie Sheares Ashby
