Meet the Facilitator 2024: Rein Claro Facilitator of "New Angles to New Solutions"

About the Facilitator:

Rein Claro (He/Him/His) is a Business Technology Administration major at UMBC. Outside of UMBC, he enjoys playing video games with friends, professionally commits to photography and videography along with post edits for said work, and likes to build computers. Rein believes that effective leaders aren't solely defined by unwavering determination and rigid plans. Instead, they should embody adaptability and creativity in response to dynamic environments, enabling them to achieve desired outcomes or uncover new possibilities through alternative strategies. As a Leadership Peer Facilitator, Rein plans to encourage people to broaden their perspective and enhance their creative capacities, thereby refining their approach to leadership.


About the Leadershop:
How many times have you made a plan? And it resulted in unwanted outcomes? Using design-thinking tools, you will have a chance to think your way around the problem and look for a new angle. 

What does Leadership mean to you:

Leadership means taking that step forward, taking that responsibility and initiative that people can learn and respect. Being a leader means being able to guide yet also have the ability to learn. Leadership is not an innate trait but rather a quality that is cultivated and developed over time.


Ice-Breaker: What is a movie quote that you live by? 

“You have such a capacity for goodness. You always excelled, but not because you craved success but because of your fear of failure”. This quote is powerful to me because growing up I didn’t think I possessed any traits of competence no matter what I did, which enabled me to constantly aim for improved outcomes. My pursuit of improvement did not stem from a potential room for improvement, but rather from a personal perception of falling short, which was detrimental to my self esteem and approach to fulfilling my obligations.



The Leadershops series consists of 1 hour workshops that focus on various student centered leadership-related topics facilitated by Campus Life staff and Leadership Peer Facilitators. This program aims to contribute to the leadership development and ongoing learning of UMBC undergraduate students.

Hello Everyone! This post is to flag that immigrant appreciation day is 1 week out! LHFA and AAAFSC are co-organizing "UMBC Immigrant Recognition Day" again this year with student groups on campus (HLSU, SACNAS, etc.). The event is scheduled for this upcoming Wednesday, May 1st. 


We also want to flag that May 1st 10:00-10:50am, ITE 238 there will be the Graduate Student Panel: "Navigating Grad School as an Immigrant" hosted by the Latinx & Hispanic Graduate Student Association (us), the Black Graduate Student Organization, and the Nigerian Graduate Student Association. A few discussion topics include: 1) what are issues faced by immigrant grad students, 2) how does being an immigrant shape the grad school experience, and 3) how do we build a support system. These is not an exhaustive list, but can serve as a starting point to guide the conversation. 

Attached below is the schedule and packet for the event. We hope to see you at the events!

I'll let Andrew introduce today's meeting. Andrew, the floor is yours.

"Today I would like to investigate and expand upon the common sentiment there is 'no ethical consumption under capitalism,' and explore the degrees to which individuals possess agency with social, economic, and political structures larger than themselves. Where do we draw lines between a coerced or voluntary action? How do we navigate a reality where social pressures and moral obligations are often at odds with each other?" - Andrew

Thank you. 

Come to PAHB 441 at 4pm today to find out if existing is ethical or not!

Dear Colleagues,

As we continue to evolve as an institution, knowing how to make sense of and effectively navigate change is a critical competency that we must master. People are at the heart of change and are often the lynchpin that leads to change success or failure. UMBC is grateful for the continued partnership with FranklinCovey in rolling out their signature change program, Change: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Opportunity.

This spring we are continuing to offer a variety of sessions for different populations to engage in this learning. Each is focused on the human side of change, providing the practical skills and common language to navigate and/or lead change. Participants will learn distinct strategies to help understand and manage reactions, keys to effectively navigate change both functionally and emotionally, and a model that makes the change process predictable, positive, and possible.

We invite you to explore the following spring 2024 sessions and hope you choose to participate!

Thank you for everything that you do every day to build and serve our community.

Sincerely,

Lynne Adams
Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
Department of Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management

UMBC Mic’d Up Podcast’s latest podcast highlights how GIS transforms urban planning and environmental conservation. 

From optimizing public transport routes to improving resource management, GIS professionals are at the forefront of addressing some of today’s most pressing geographic problems. GIS is about much more than maps. It’s about making a tangible difference in community services and sustainability efforts. As we integrate GIS with emerging technologies like AI, the possibilities for innovation and responsible stewardship of our planet only grow. UMBC’s GIS program is preparing the next generation of professionals to lead the way. For anyone passionate about making a global impact through technology, GIS might be the answer.
