A note about Club Safety
Hey everyone,
The officers at the TTG club just wanted to share an important message -
Club is a safe space where we come together to play games, have fun, and forget school exists. We as board members strive to do everything we can to maintain that atmosphere. Part of that is sharing a reminder that each person at club has a right to comfort when in our space.
Please know that we as leaders of the club are a resource to you all. We are always here as people you can talk to and people who can support you. Most importantly, if anything or anyone makes you uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of the board members so we can help you best resolve those issues.
- The Tabletop Gaming Club Board

Dear AAAFSC Community,
Are you interested in a financial planning lunch seminar to learn strategies and tips for achieving and maintaining financial well-being?
Financial well-being is critical for families and individuals. Achieving and maintaining financial well-being requires regular assessments of your personal financial situations and careful long-term planning. Financial planning becomes even more important given the current high inflation and volatile stock market.
The AAAFSC executive board is considering sponsoring a financial planning seminar over lunch in November or December. The seminar will be delivered by certified financial planners (CFP). Potential topics include:
- Family Financial Planning Basics
- Family Protection Plan (e.g., life insurance)
- Education Planning (e.g., 529, college financial aid)
- Investment Risk Management
- Retirement Planning (It's never too early to start planning)
- 401/403/457 Rollover Options
- Social Security and Medicare
- Long Term Care Planning
- Estate Planning
- Tax Saving Strategies
If you are interested in this seminar, please complete a quick survey by Friday Oct 14, so we know what topics we are most interested in and what time works the best for us.
Just in case you are curious how this idea came up. Back in May, several members and I were chatting. One member brought up the issue of financing college education for their kids, which led us to talk about different things such as 403b, investing in stocks/mutual funds, and taxes. It was a great conversation and we all learned something from each other. However, there were many missing connections in our shared knowledge. We felt the need to learn from experts. Many thanks to Zhibo Zhang (Physics) for suggesting this seminar and finding certified financial planners for us .
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment at the end of the survey or email me (
suns@umbc.edu).
Have a great week!
Best,
Shuyan

Dear Faculty and Staff,
UMBC is fortunate to have so many talented and dedicated Exempt and Non-Exempt staff working to support our mission. Over the past few years, our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff had the tools they needed to be successful in a challenging time, were working or learning in a safe environment, and that the necessary groundwork was laid to return to our physical campus.
We ask that you reflect on the work within your units and across the campus and nominate a colleague. This process gives us the opportunity to recognize exemplary work at both the campus level and across the entire University System of Maryland. We are eager to honor our colleagues and need your help to do so.
We encourage administrators, faculty, and staff to nominate staff members for one of these prestigious awards:
- UMBC Presidential Distinguished Staff Awards
- University System of Maryland Board of Regents Staff Awards
- Jakubik Family Endowment Staff Award
- Karen L. Wensch Endowment Award for Outstanding Non-Exempt Staff
- Teresa Lupinek Endowment Award for Exempt or Non-Exempt Staff
Descriptions of the individual awards and the eligibility requirements for each, as well as the nomination form, can be found at 2022-23 Staff Awards. Each nomination should include the nomination form, a single letter of recommendation, and the nominee’s resume or job history form. Please send nominations to Colleen Rebeiro in the Office of the Provost at colleenr@umbc.edu by October 31, 2022.
We hope the entire UMBC community will engage in this process. If you have questions about the staff awards, please contact Martina Buckley, Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff, at mbuckley@umbc.edu.
