<Title>Care and Support for a Fellow USM Institution</Title>
<Tagline>For second time in a week, violence hits close to home</Tagline>
<Body>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear UMBC Community,</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>For the second time in less than a week, a local university community has seen its celebrations marred by gun violence. This time the incident occurred at Bowie State University, one of our fellow University System of Maryland institutions. While the two people injured in the shooting Saturday are not Bowie State students, the campus community is nevertheless feeling the impact of this incident. I have extended a message of care to Bowie State President Aminta H. Breaux, and I know that the entire Bowie State family is in our thoughts. </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>As we advised last week after the incident at Morgan State, please avail yourselves of the support resources at UMBC as needed, including Retriever Integrated Health's <a href="https://health.umbc.edu/counseling-services/counseling/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mental health services</a> and <a href="https://health.umbc.edu/counseling-services/resources/help-someone-else/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">resources for helping others</a>, as well as our <a href="https://hr.umbc.edu/benefits/benefit-information/employee-assistance-program/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Employee Assistance Program</a>. Please also review our information and resources related to <a href="https://police.umbc.edu/emergency-preparedness/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">emergency management</a> and make sure you are signed up to <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/alerts" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">receive emergency alerts</a>. </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>This past Shabbat morning, on the holiday of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, we woke up to the news that Israel was under attack by Hamas terrorists. The photos, videos, and death toll have been horrifying and heartbreaking. Our hearts and prayers are with our students and community members with family and friends in Israel, as well as any of our alumni living there.</span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>These events are difficult and the images are jarring and gut-wrenching, and we want you to know that UMBC staff is here for support. We have reserved CWB 101 tomorrow (Monday, 10/9) from 11 AM-1 PM for students to debrief, talk to peers or simply be in a safe space with others experiencing similar feelings. Students who are unavailable at that time should not hesitate to reach out to Hillel staff for another time to talk.</span></div>

<Title>Leadership Searches Update</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>
    <div>Dear UMBC Community, </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>I write to share updates on two searches for key university leadership roles: vice president for communications and marketing and provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. </div>
    
    <div>First, I am pleased to announce that we are beginning the search for the vice president for communications and marketing. University Communications and Marketing, formerly part of the Office of Institutional Advancement, comprises a <a href="https://ucm.umbc.edu/our-team/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">team of talented individuals</a> dedicated to advancing our mission by telling the UMBC story and engaging diverse audiences and stakeholders here on campus, among our alumni, families, and friends, and externally in our local and statewide communities and the wider world. As this new division continues to evolve, we aim for it to provide comprehensive strategic leadership for the university in all areas of communications and marketing–to ensure that the world knows UMBC and the difference it makes in the lives of individuals, in the creation of knowledge, and in the advancement of an informed, equitable global community. The vice president will report to me and serve as a member of UMBC’s senior leadership team. </div>
    
    <div>I am delighted that UMBC will partner in this search with Isaacson, Miller. My thanks to the following individuals who have agreed to serve on the search committee for this role: </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>Vice President for Communications and Marketing Search Committee:</div>

    <div>We will develop a position profile and begin recruiting very soon. We anticipate moving expeditiously to fill the role. Angela Paik (formerly Angela Paik Schaeffer) continues to serve in the role on an interim basis, helping to advise me and support the work of our communications and marketing team. </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>Regarding the search for a permanent provost: As you will recall, we are extending that search in partnership with Isaacson, Miller. The search committee, whose members are listed <a href="https://president.umbc.edu/search-committee-provost-and-senior-vice-president-for-academic-affairs/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>, continues to serve, chaired now by Linda Dusman, professor of music. Anupam Joshi stepped down as committee chair when he took on his new role as acting dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology. I would like to thank Anupam for his leadership and service on the search committee.</div>
    
    <div>We expect to have a permanent provost by next summer. Interim Provost David Dauwalder will serve at UMBC through this academic year. My thanks to our interim leaders, Angela and David, and to all who will take part in these important search processes. </div>
    
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
    <div> </div>
