<Title>Can you help AAAFSC meet with prospective candidates?</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>One of the things that AAAFSC really needs help with is taking on individual meetings with prospective hires during their on-campus interviews in the fall and spring.  Candidates often have questions about UMBC culture and climate for Asian and Asian American faculty, family leave, work-life balance; and members of AAAFSC offer honest and informed answers. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>These conversations are a chance to welcome prospective colleagues and offer some help at a stressful juncture in their professional lives, <strong>but we need volunteers to make them happen from across the colleges!!  </strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Meetings are one-on-one and usually take 20-30 minutes.  We do try for maximum flexibility in scheduling to minimize the burden on AAAFSC members.  Conversations with candidates are confidential and entirely separate from search committee deliberations.  Even if you can only make one of these meetings, that's a huge help.  And more volunteers = less work for everyone! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please let Tamara (<a href="mailto:tbhalla@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">tbhalla@umbc.edu</a>) know if you're interested in helping with this. Anyone interested will be added to a google sheet and notified of requests! I'll also provide guidance on how to answer questions etc.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Many thanks!</div>

<Title>RAC Renewal and Accessible Paths to Aquatics</Title>
<Tagline>Stair-free routes to the pool 12/20/19-3/22/20</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Facilities Management has shared that the RAC Renewal Renovation project is scheduled to begin as soon as the 2019 fall semester ends on 12/20/2019.  This post is excerpted from their "projects" website, which has illustrations and a map of the shifted accessible routes.</p>
    <p>The eighteen-month project will start in the center fieldhouse portion of the building and end in the three-court gym portion of the building in July 2021.</p>
    <p>During construction, the front lobby continues as the main building entry and the elevator will remain accessible.</p>
    <p>Multi-phased construction sequencing will allow for continued use of a pool and scheduled recreation programs.</p>
    <p>Phase 1 construction will close selected area of the RAC between 12/20/2019 and 3/22/2020.</p>
    <p>As you review the Phase 1 closure plans below, note the following items:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Spaces closed for phase 1 construction include the track, varsity weight room, and the fieldhouse courts.</li>
    <li>During this phase, there will be no interior connection to the pool.  Instead the pool lobby doors on the Sondheim side of the building will serve as the pool access point.</li>
    <li>For an accessible routes to and from the aquatics complex and pool please reference the attached December 13, 2019 pdf.The lower level exterior doors on the tennis court side will be for construction access only except for emergency egress and a designated service delivery.</li>
    </ul>

    <div>A photo of the head of the True Grit dog statue illustrates this post.  The link to full website, and a downloadable map pdf of the modified accessible routes for the RAC area are available below on the myUMBC page.</div>
