Thanks for the great turnout at our Health IT Event today! Looking forward to the Reverse Career Fair (this Wednesday, 12:30-3:30pm) we have extremely important information, listed below:
  • Please show up at the UC Ballroom no later than 12:05 pm. Though the Fair starts later, the Career Center requires everyone there early.
  • BRING MULTIPLE RESUMES COPIES This goes without saying at a Career Fair, but those 65+ employers are asking for your resume- bring at least 10, if not 15 copies.
  • We realize we haven't prepped people to talk about ISCOM so to correct that ASAP, we'll be issuing a 30-second elevator pitch that you can use when employers ask you about it. Sing it in your your shower, tape it to your steering wheel, do whatever you need to memorize it for Wednesday. Expect to see it this afternoon via email.
And that's it for the Reverse Career Fair!

The New Officer Application to join ISCOM's Board is now available. Please fill it out if you're interested in getting more involved on-campus with the StudentOrg purpose-built for your major! Afraid you won't have enough time next Fall (or Spring) to commit to a club? No worries! Just select "Other" on our application and indicate what your availability is and how you'd like to help ISCOM.

Have a great start to your week

~Your ISCOM Executive Board

The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences has notified departments that they now have the option to offer year-long contracts to adjunct faculty, as appropriate.

The year-long (academic year) contracts were piloted in CAHSS in 2017-2018. The pilot program is now being expanded within CAHSS.

The contract letter is much the same except that the teaching appointment is for the entire academic year (regular fall and spring terms) instead of for a semester.

If interested, please contact your department chair! These contracts help streamline the work of staff and others.

It is projected that CNMS and COEIT will pilot the year-long contract letters next; if successful, the pilot program can then be expanded within those Colleges.

Tax returns are due April 17! 


The GSA/GAAC is partnering with the UMBC Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) to provide a session where VITA participants will be available to answer your questions without the need for a prior appointment. 

When: Wednesday, April 11, 12-1pm
Where: Sondheim 110
What to bring: Your questions! And any material that can help the VITA participant understand your question.

UMBC VITA is a group of students who are trained and certified by the IRS to prepare tax returns for low income families.  They can help you find free file options, explain whether you are a dependent, assess whether you even need to file a tax return, and much more.  

Note, this is not a tax-filing session; it is a session designed to answer specific questions students have about their returns.

Stop procrastinating!  

April 17 will be here before you know it!


Should you have any questions, please write to us at <GAAC@umbc.edu>.

Happy filing!
