The Cheryl-Lee Howard Mentor Me Program is a mentoring program providing educational and professional development opportunities for the members of the Region. We are also accepting self-nominations from those who would be interested in serving as mentors.

The Mentor Me Program provides a one-on-one, targeted approach to learning about the profession of research administration and NCURA at both the regional and national levels. The program matches a Mentee with a Mentor who has complementary skills, background, and experience to assist them in identifying leadership and professional development goals and objectives.

Eligibility: Mentees must be research administrators from the Region II geographic area and must be members of NCURA at the time of nomination. Self-nominations are permitted. 

Selection: Up to five mentees will be selected for the 2024 program. Recipients are selected based on nominations received by the deadline and considered by the Region's Mentor Me Committee.

Process: Complete and submit the Application Form (also available as a Word document at Mentor Me | NCURA Region 2, scroll to the bottom under the FAQ) with a letter of support from the nominee's supervisor and one active NCURA member (from any region) to the Chair of the Mentor Me Committee, Mary Louise Healy at mhealy11@jhu.edu.

If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please send your resume and a brief (no more than one page) statement describing why you would like to serve as a mentor and how you believe you can contribute in this capacity to Mary Louise Healy (mhealy11@jhu.edu). We are creating a pool of mentors to allow us to best match mentor expertise, background, and interests with those of our mentees. There is no deadline.

UMBC is excited to announce the expansion of compost collection on campus! You've likely already noticed a few new compost bins around our dining facilities. This is part of our effort to increase the amount of organic waste we are diverting from the landfill. UMBC has historically had a composting program in True Grit's and the Commons, but due to recently passed State legislation and renewed interest from students, we are increasing our efforts. A lot of the groundwork can be attributed to our dedicated students who have been working hard to expand compost over the past few years.

New compost collection bins were added around campus in the areas with the most food consumption, including the University Center, Administration Cafe, Albin O. Kuhn Library, and outdoor areas with picnic tables such as the Commons Terrace, RAC patio, and University Center. We are relying on the entire UMBC community to help us make our program successful! Ensuring that the correct items are composted is of the utmost importance. Contamination of compost bins with just a few other items (trash and recycling) will result in the whole container of compost going into the trash instead. It could also result in significant fees to UMBC, preventing us from doing more around campus! 

To keep composting as simple and straightforward as possible, we are asking that all food scraps are composted. This includes meat and dairy products, coffee and tea grounds, vegetable scraps, leftovers, and waste food parts from meal preparation (peels, eggshells, stems, and more). The following items should NOT go into compost bins: metal, glass, and plastic. Remember, recycling has its own container, and above all, when in doubt, throw it out!! If you're unsure, the safest bet is to put it in the trash.
