Summer is here! So is Care.com Subsidized backup care when you need it!

During the summer, childcare is more unpredictable than during the regular school season. 

 

With a Care.com membership, eligible employees* can find a nanny or babysitter and get help with gaps in care this summer.

 

Backup Care offers a high quality, subsidized solution when your regular care is unavailable. 


Daycare closed for vacation? Caregiver sick? Senior recovering from a fall? Care.com has flexible care options for kids and seniors, and helps you find the right care, whether through the Care.com network of vetted providers or using a preferred caregiver.

 

A Care.com membership is FREE (paid for by UMBC) and employees are eligible for up to 10 days of subsidized backup care. 

 

Did you know? Summer camps qualify for the 10 days of subsidized care!


How it Works

1. Login to your account online or through the app. 

2. Search caregiver profiles, post a job, schedule interviews and request background checks. 

3. Once you're ready to hire, easily schedule and pay your caregiver on Care.com. 

 

Don’t have any childcare or eldercare needs? There are also hundreds of discounts employees can access via LifeMart (partners with Care.com), just by creating a Care.com membership.

 

*Eligible employees: Regular Faculty and Staff, Contingent II, and Graduate Assistants.

 

Questions about childcare options? Please contact Care.com directly by calling 1-855-781-1303 or emailing backupcare@care.com.

Dear Students,

I am reaching out today to invite you to take the UMBC Campus Climate Survey. Students who complete the survey will have a chance to receive a $25 UMBC Bookstore gift card. You can access the online survey here. The survey will be open from Thursday, May 2, until Thursday, May 16.

This survey is intended to gather information about sexual and gender-based violence on campus, your knowledge of related policies and resources, and your opinion about how helpful and supportive these resources are. The survey takes 15 to 25 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. You may choose to skip questions or stop responding at any point.

Content note: This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears after the survey and is available now on the ECR website. 

By taking the survey, you play a major role in helping UMBC tailor its sexual violence prevention efforts and to improve campus response. The Office of Equity and Civil Rights will be reviewing the results of this survey and sharing what we learn with the campus community. We will incorporate your feedback to shape our policies and practices to promote a safer, healthier, and more welcoming campus.

All students who participate in the 2024 Campus Climate Survey will be eligible to enter a randomized drawing for one of 10 $25 UMBC Bookstore gift cards. After completing the Campus Climate Survey, you will be prompted to enter your name and contact information in a separate voluntary incentive form in order to be entered into the drawing.

Nothing you report in the survey will be linked to your personal information. Your answers are confidential and will only be reported in terms of groups of students rather than as individuals. Your answers to the Campus Climate Survey are not linked in any way to the incentive drawing survey. You are not required to answer a certain number of questions or report specific experiences to be eligible to participate in the incentive survey. 

If you have questions about the purpose or content of the survey, please contact the Office of Equity and Civil Rights at ecr@umbc.edu or 410-455-1717.

Thank you in advance for your participation! 

Sincerely,

Tanyka M. Barber
Vice President for Institutional Equity and Chief Diversity Officer

This initiative aims to encourage, identify, and exchange effective practices to enhance student success and retention.

The mini grants are specifically designed to address two key areas of focus:

Student Success and Retention: The grants welcome proposals that explore the relationships between activities and learning in one course and outcomes in other courses. By investigating these connections, instructors can gain insights into strategies that can improve student success and retention rates. This research is particularly crucial for courses with low success rates, critical progression points, or those imparting fundamental skills required for success in the major or program.

Faculty Development and Support: Recipients of the mini grants will receive a $2,000 professional development award, renewable annually, directed to their faculty member or department's PeopleSoft chart string account. In addition to access to warehouse data (REX), recipients will also receive support for Tableau, a powerful data visualization tool. Furthermore, participants will be expected to present a report at the conclusion of their project, and they will have the opportunity to engage with the LA Community of Practice. These grants also provide an opportunity for recipients to use their results to compete for the prestigious Hrabowski Innovation Fund award.

In addition to learning from prior awardees, the LA Mini Grants build upon the university's commitment to utilizing data-informed insights to improve student outcomes. In line with this objective, the Provost’s office, in collaboration with DoIT's Analytics & Instructional Technology groups, has been organizing workshops on supporting student success throughout the academic year. These workshops, illustrated by our 2024 lineup below, have covered various topics faculty may want to explore further in their mini-grant proposals:


These presentations have provided valuable knowledge and resources to support faculty in their understanding and utilization of data to support their pedagogy, and the meeting recordings linked through each event are available for anyone with a UMBC account.

The LA Mini Grants program presents an exceptional opportunity for faculty members to enhance their teaching practices and contribute to the university's commitment to student success and retention. Interested faculty members are invited to submit their applications by Friday, June 7, 2024. The application package should include a brief abstract that could be published on the UMBC website if accepted, a maximum three-page research project proposal, and a letter of support from their department chair. For further inquiries or to submit applications, please contact Robert Carpenter, John Fritz, or Tom Penniston.
