Hi All,

We have HP LaserJet 644A black, magenta, cyan, and yellow print cartridges available, as we no longer have a printer that they fit. They have been around for a while, and although two of the boxes are opened, the cartridges are in the original bags. If your department could use these cartridges, please email me at swatski1@umbc.edu to arrange a time for pickup. Please note that I will update this post if the cartridges are claimed.

Thanks!
Sarah Swatski

COEIT Deans and Department Chairs Reminder: COEIT GAs, Final week to voice your concerns !!!
What is Meet and Confer (M&C)?
Meet and Confer (M&C) is a policy within the University System of Maryland (USM) that allows Graduate Assistants to participate in formal discussions with the administration regarding employment-related matters, including compensation and benefits. To learn more about M&C, please visit the UMBC website.

M&C Meetings- Spring '24
This year, we have adopted a new approach by organizing separate M&C meetings for each college at UMBC. This strategy is designed to address specific issues facing Graduate Assistants within individual colleges and departments in a more focused manner. Additionally, we have extended invitations to department chairs to ensure that department-level administration actively participates in resolving GA-related concerns, in collaboration with graduate school administration.

The COEIT M&C Meeting is scheduled for April 24th, and we strongly encourage all GAs from COEIT Departments to complete the survey. Your input will allow you to voice your concerns and issues to the Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, who will present them at the M&C meetings for discussion and resolution.

Earlier this week, GAAC held our second Administrative-only Meet and Confer (M&C) session. Aside from two GAAC representatives, attendees included the CAHSS Dean, the Dean of the Graduate School, and several CAHSS Department Chairs. During this session, we addressed several critical issues identified as priorities from CAHSS GA’s through our recent survey. These topics include:

  1. GA Stipends and Mandatory Fees

  2. Advisor-GA Relationships

  3. GA insurance Concerns

  4. GA Contract Issues


For more information on the specific topics discussed, please see the attached slides.

I am pleased to report that the majority of attendees provided favorable responses to each of these issues.

Looking ahead, GAAC remains committed to advocating for the establishment of proper systems and procedures within the Graduate School to address these concerns, as agreed upon during the M&C discussion. 

We are looking forward to continuing these productive discussions in the upcoming M&C discussions for the COEIT.
