<Title>U.S. News Again Recognizes UMBC as Leader in Innovation and Undergraduate Teaching</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><em>From Freeman Hrabowski, President, and Philip Rous, Provost and Senior Vice President</em></p>
    <p>We are delighted to share the news that UMBC has been recognized again as a national leader in innovation and undergraduate teaching in <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report’s</em> Best Colleges guide.</p>
    <p>For the fourth year in a row, UMBC tops the <a href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/up-and-coming" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>U.S. News</em> ranking of “Up-and-Coming” national universities</a>, a place we share this year with George Mason University.</p>
    <p><em>U.S. News</em> also ranks UMBC eighth on a <a href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/undergraduate-teaching" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">list of the national universities that excel in undergraduate teaching</a>, tied with Duke University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Chicago, and the University of Notre Dame. As Americans consider the value of a college degree, this recognition is a reminder of what we all know firsthand – public universities can be exceptional.</p>
    <p>When <em>U.S. News</em> says “Up-and-Coming” it is talking about universities that consistently find new ways to improve students’ educational experiences, that are entrepreneurial, and that are models for others. Specifically, the magazine asks presidents, provosts, and admissions deans all over the country to identify institutions that have “made the most promising and innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus, or facilities.”</p>
    <p>In short: They are looking for leaders. Congratulations to all our faculty, staff, and students who make UMBC just such a place.</p>

    <p><em><strong>Beth Wells is Assistant Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at UMBC.</strong></em></p>
    <p><a href="http://umbcbreakingground.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/bwells2.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://umbcbreakingground.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/bwells2.jpg?w=126&amp;h=139" alt="" width="126" height="139" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>Do you know a UMBC staff member whose outstanding contributions as a community change agent deserve to be recognized? The Provost’s Office and Staff Awards Committee are delighted to invite students, faculty, and staff to nominate a staff member for a University System of Maryland Board of Regents Award in the category of “extraordinary public service.” The criteria for this award are:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>The individual has demonstrated personal dedication to a project or cause that has definitively improved the greater community</li>
    <li>The staff member has, in a collaborative and sustained manner throughout his/her career, made a difference in the larger community</li>
    <li>There is a sustained record over a period of years of the staff member making contributions through his/her role in the University (rather than as a private citizen)</li>
    </ul>
    <p>We hope you will help us to recognize the important contributions of staff members working to improve the quality of life for others at UMBC or in the larger community. Winners of Board of Regents awards receive $1,000 and a plaque, as well as recognition at UMBC’s spring faculty and staff awards ceremony. You can help create a ripple effect of community engagement by nominating a staff member whose creativity, skill, and commitment as a change agent offer a model to all of us in the UMBC community.</p>
    <p>Nominations in all categories of staff awards are due on September 14, 2012.  Information about all categories of awards, the nomination and selection process, and the simple forms needed to submit a nomination can be found at<a href="http://www.umbc.edu/provost/StaffAwards/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.umbc.edu/provost/StaffAwards/</a>. For more information, please contact me.</p>

    For the fourth year in a row, <a href="http://www.usnews.com/education" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC tops the <em>U.S. News</em> ranking</a> of “Up-and-Coming” national universities — a designation recognizing universities that consistently find innovative ways to improve students’ educational experiences. We share the top spot with George Mason University.<br>
    <em>U.S. News</em> also ranks UMBC eighth on a list of the top national universities “where the faculty has an unusual commitment to undergraduate teaching.” UMBC is tied with Duke University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Chicago, and the University of Notre Dame.<br>
    “We are delighted to be recognized as one of America’s most innovative universities and a national leader in undergraduate education,” says President Freeman A. Hrabowski, III. “As Americans consider the costs and value of a college degree, this recognition is a reminder that public universities can be exceptional.”<br>
    This year, for example, UMBC is launching a competition that will encourage faculty to reimagine what it means to teach and learn; challenge students to take an active role in their educations; fuel creativity and entrepreneurship; and transform classrooms into laboratories of the mind. The work will be supported by grants from the new Hrabowski Fund for Innovation and will build on our longstanding commitment to combining the best of research and teaching.<br>
    UMBC offers the personal attention of a liberal arts college within the setting of a major research institution. Our 13,000 students come from more than 150 countries and take full advantage of the educational, business, cultural and recreational resources of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.<br>
    Congratulations to our faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters who make UMBC a leading university!<br>
