Hi All,

Some of you may have been notified recently regarding notifications sent out Sunday. We just wanted to make you aware of an issue Kuali encountered while performing an upgrade to their core databases during the maintenance window this past Sunday. This issue caused some valid protocol and COI notifications to send in duplicate to recipients.  During the upgrade two of Kuali's notification servers were inappropriately active at the same time which caused duplicate notifications to send.  This was discovered and resolved earlier Monday and  a retro on this issue will be done to make sure Kuali takes necessary steps to avoid this in the future.  We apologize for the inconvenience and any confusion the duplicate emails sent earlier today caused.  If you have any further questions please let your compliance officer know, if they have not reached out to you already. These emails would have been sent during the window of 11:38am - 2:54pm PT (the bulk were sent between 11:38am - 11:50am PT) Sunday.  Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and confusion this caused our users.

Thanks

RAS

Three weeks from now, UMBC’s AOK library will be hosting a public screening for the upcoming documentary “Hiding in the Walls.” Centered on environmental justice in Baltimore, the film focuses on a lead poisoning epidemic that disproportionately affects poor neighborhoods and communities of color. Historical discriminatory practices planted the seed for this silent killer, and there is an unfortunate air of acceptance, rather than outrage, that has allowed lead poisoning to perpetuate in urban areas. The filmmakers provide firsthand accounts of adult survivors whose lives are irreparably, and unjustly, impacted. “Hiding in the Walls” is an enriching film for those wanting to become more educated on environmental justice issues in our own community.

“Hiding in the Walls” won Best Feature Film at the 2022 Social and Economic Justice Film Festival and the 2022 Gaia Prize for Environmental Filmmaking.

The documentary will be screened in the library on Tuesday, October 22^nd at 6:00 pm. There is no admission fee. The filmmakers will be present for a Q&A once the film is finished, and refreshments will be offered throughout. Non-GES students are of course welcome, so spread the word!
