<Title>Welcome to the new academic year</Title>
<Tagline>Resources to help with the new semester</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Dear Faculty: </span></p>
    <p><span>Greetings and welcome to the new academic year and this Fall semester! I hope you are as excited as I am for the Fall semester and this coming year. I know we are going to do great things together and I cannot wait to meet you! As we get started I wanted to share with you some reminders and resources that hopefully will be helpful as you start the semester.</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Syllabus</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>As you put your syllabus together, please remember there are a number of resources available including the</span><a href="https://calt.umbc.edu/teaching/creating-a-syllabus/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Creating a Syllabus </span><span>page</span></a><span> from the Faculty Development Center. Please be sure to also consult the website of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights for</span><a href="https://ecr.umbc.edu/sample-title-ix-responsible-employee-syllabus-language/#religious" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>syllabus language</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span>Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing education and the Faculty Senate and the Graduate School are reviewing the</span><a href="https://www2.umbc.edu/policies/pdfs/UMBC%20III%201.10.02%20Policy%20and%20Procedures%20for%20Graduate%20Student%20Academic%20Misconduct.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Graduate Student Academic Misconduct Policy and Procedures</span></a><span> and the</span><a href="https://www2.umbc.edu/policies/pdfs/UMBC%20III%201.10.03%20Undergraduate%20Student%20Academic%20Conduct%20Policy.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Undergraduate Student Academic Conduct Policy</span></a><span>. While these policies are being reviewed and revised to include language relevant to the use of generative AI tools, I ask you to state clearly in your syllabus what use (if any) of generative AI tools you allow in your classroom. Example statements are available from a number of universities (e.g.</span><a href="https://guides.library.ttu.edu/ai-literacy/classroom" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Texas Tech</span></a><span>,</span><a href="https://www.msudenver.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Syllabus-Spectrum-for-Generative-AI-Final.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>MSU Denver</span></a><span>).</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Supporting Students and Managing Classroom Behavior</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>I want to make sure you are aware of UMBC’s faculty and staff</span><a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/resources/resourcesfaculty-staff-disruptive-student-behavior-guide/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>disruptive student behavior guide</span></a><span>, which also pertains to managing your classroom. John Fox is serving as the inaugural Dean of Students in the Division of Student Affairs, and ensuring all students can thrive without disruption is a key responsibility of the </span><a href="https://studentaffairs.umbc.edu/student-support/dean-of-students/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Dean of Students Office</span></a><span>. Supporting all students is key in all the work you do as faculty and the university has a number of resources available including the</span><a href="https://academicsuccess.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Academic Success Center</span></a><span>, the Office of</span><a href="https://sds.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Student Disability Services</span></a><span>,</span><a href="https://health.umbc.edu/counseling-services/counseling/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Retriever Integrated Health</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://studentaffairs.umbc.edu/student-support/retriever-support-services/retriever-care/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Retriever CARE</span></a><span>,</span><a href="https://retrieveressentials.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"></a><a href="https://studentaffairs.umbc.edu/student-support/retriever-support-services/retriever-essentials-and-connections/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Retriever Essentials and Connections</span></a><span> and the</span><a href="https://ecr.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Office of Equity and Civil Rights</span></a><span>. Please make sure students are aware of this information. International students in your courses may face unique challenges, particularly during their first semester, and I encourage you to direct them to the dedicated resources and services offered by</span><a href="https://cge.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>the Center for Global Engagement</span></a><span>. I also encourage you to regularly check in with your students to see how they are doing and ensure you guide them to resources on campus. </span></p>
    <p><span><strong>UMBC Policies and Procedures</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>A comprehensive list of USM and UMBC policies and guidelines is available at</span><a href="https://www2.umbc.edu/policies/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>UMBC Policies</span></a><span>, and resources for faculty regarding academic integrity are available at</span><a href="https://academicconduct.umbc.edu/resources-for-faculty/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Academic Integrity Resources for Faculty</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Campus Closures</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Please be sure to sign up for </span><a href="https://umbc.edu/about/inclement-weather-emergency-closing-policy/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>text alerts</span></a><span> so you are aware of campus emergencies and weather-related campus closures.</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Upcoming Events</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>I hope to see you this coming week at one of several campus wide events including </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty-staff/events/130976" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Convocation</span></a><span> (8/27) and </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty-staff/events/130803" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Meet and Greet with the Provost</span></a><span> (8/28).</span></p>
    <p><span>Finally, thank you for all you do for UMBC. You are at the heart of student success and helping UMBC students become the best version of themselves.</span></p>
    <p><span>Sincerely,</span></p>
    <p></p>
    <p><span>Manfred van Dulmen</span><span><br></span><span>Provost</span></p></span></div>

<Title>First Week Survival Kit: Day 1</Title>
<Tagline>Are! You! Ready?!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Welcome back, Retrievers! We're so happy to see so many excited folks on campus - the anticipation in the air combined with those coooooool morning temps can mean only one thing - fall is coming!<div><br></div>
    <div>We're coming at you every day this week with a <strong>tip for getting through this insane first week! </strong>If you're nervous, just know you're not alone. Starting college (or starting at a new college, or starting a new academic year) can be really overwhelming and most students experience some degree of anxiety, even if it's the good kind!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Today, we're reminding you to <u>check Blackboard!!!</u> Your professors have probably made their pages live by now, so today is a great day to read through the syllabi, make sure you understand course policies, and <em>see if there's any pre-class work </em>you need to do before the first day. Map out all of your classes and make sure you know the routes you'll take! Be careful to consider campus construction, because some of that is still going on (we're looking at you, Sherman stairs...)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>And, related: <em>start checking your UMBC email account every day</em>. Maybe check it two or three times a day. You know what, while you're at it, just leave that tab open in your internet browser. Download the Gmail app (UMBC is a Google campus!) on your phone and/or tablet and turn on notifications. You don't want to miss anything, and <strong><em>this is primarily how your professors, advisors, and clubs will communicate with you!</em></strong>

<Title>Announcing the new Director of the Humanities Scholars Program</Title>
<Tagline>Kate Drabinski, Principal Lecturer in GWST</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Dresher Center for the Humanities is pleased to announce a new director for the Humanities Scholars program.<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Dr. Kate Drabinski is Principal Lecturer in Gender, Women's, + 
    Sexuality Studies (GWST) and Associate Director of the <a href="https://gwst.umbc.edu/will/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Women Involved in
     Learning and Leadership (WILL+)</a> program. Her focus areas of teaching 
    and research include queer theory, transgender studies, LGBTQ+ history, 
    and public humanities pedagogies and practices. As co-PI with Dr. Carole
     McCann on the Mellon-funded Affirming Multivocal Humanities grant, she 
    organizes the UMBC LGBTQ+ Oral History Project, bringing students into 
    conversation with queer people both on and off campus to record and 
    preserve the histories of our communities. Her latest publication is <em><a href="https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/baltimore-revisited/9780813594019/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City</a></em>, co-edited with UMBC's own Dr. Nicole King and Dr. Joshua Davis of the University of Baltimore. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Outside
     of UMBC Dr. Kate is an avid explorer of Baltimore's history, present, 
    and future, usually on her much-loved bicycle. She leads walking tours 
    about the city's LGBTQ+ and Civil Rights histories for Baltimore 
    Heritage, where she serves on the Board. She organizes walking tours for
     students, faculty, and staff about the history of Pratt Street, public 
    transportation, urban renewal, and more. She is keenly interested in why
     where we are is as it is, and how it might be otherwise.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Dr.
     Kate is excited to direct the Humanities Scholars program after serving
     on the committee for nearly a decade and teaching the freshman seminar 
    several times. She was part of a similar program at her undergraduate 
    institution and knows intimately the power of cohort-based 
    interdisciplinary humanities teaching and research for making more 
    interesting, meaningful, and impactful lives for all of us. She looks 
    forward to working with students, faculty, and staff to continue 
    building UMBC's vibrant humanities community.</div>

Looking for a female roommate for a furnished bedroom including linens in a Maiden Choice area private single-family home. The landlord couple resides in the home and would prefer a kind person that respects diversity that are a UMBC/UMB Graduates or Junior/Senior Undergraduates that are non-smokers within the home, non-drug users, pet-free, and a tidy person to share a large open concept newly renovated 4 bedroom and 3.5 bathroom on a dead-end quiet street. If you have a medical support animal; no cats or shedding animals are allowed due to allergies, and you will need your updated documents from your physician and veterinarian. All support animals must remain in the tenant’s bedroom and crated when not home or in their room. You will have to submit proof of renter’s insurance. Other than medical support animals, absolutely no other animals are allowed. We currently have a non-shedding older friendly labradoodle that will not be crated, will not run away if the door is left open, and the sole responsibility of the landlord.</span></span></p>
    <p>The house is less than 2 miles from the UMBC campus and close to two shopping centers. The UMBC Shuttle and public transportation bus stop is located a short walk the next street over. The UMBC Transit runs buses almost every 25 minutes from the Paradise-Purple Line during the week from 7:25am-10pm (Leeds Avenue and Colchester Road bus stop pickup location is roughly starting around 7:45/8am).  The room for rent is a first-floor bedroom master suite with private bathroom and two closets, dresser with mirror, tall dresser, full bed, two nightstands, vanity desk with stool and a smart TV, bedroom linens and bath towels. You have access to the front covered large porch, an open area kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals, living and dining rooms with a large TV, and laundry room. Wi-Fi with streaming cable services are in all the bedrooms and in the large common area. All utilities are included; water, gas and electric, Wi-Fi and again streaming services. We will only rent to one female, since the house will be shared with two female UMBC students and the landlord couple too.  We have lease restrictions for overnight guests and shared cleaning responsibilities. There is street parking that we ask our tenants to be respectful to our neighbors and park directly in front of our house only. We are still doing minor renovations to the outside landscaping and foundation boarder.  The bedroom suite is available on August 29th and after. We prefer a 9 month or a month-to-month lease starting August ending the last week of May 2025, that includes Winter and Spring Breaks. The rent is $1,200 FIRM a month, and deposit is $600!  We’re a private home and not a campus apartment or dorm, nor an Airbnb. All you need to do is bring your personal belongings and books!  If interested, call <a rel="nofollow external" class="bo">410-999-4668</a>, Monday-Friday, 6pm to 8pm, to discuss and a time to show you the house.</p>
