<Title>Regarding the Potential for Federal Immigration Enforcement at UMBC</Title>
<Tagline>Sharing general guidance and procedures</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear UMBC Community, </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>As general counsel for UMBC, I write today to share guidance in response to questions and concerns we have heard from community members regarding the possibility of federal immigration enforcement action occurring on our campus. First, I want to make clear that at this time, we are not aware of any requests or actions related to UMBC from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or other external law enforcement agencies. What follows here is general guidance and recommended procedures for such situations. </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>As a public institution, UMBC’s campus is largely open to the public, but many spaces are restricted for reasons of privacy, safety, and operational needs—including residence halls, classrooms, laboratories, and administrative and faculty offices. To access such non-public areas, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant or subpoena. Additionally, federal privacy laws generally prohibit the release of information from a student’s records, including to law enforcement, without a valid court order or subpoena.</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>If you receive a request from external law enforcement for information, records, or access to non-public space on campus, <strong>notify UMBC Police (410-455-5555)</strong>, who will coordinate with relevant university officials and respond to the request. More specifically, we advise that you: </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>
    <ol>
    <li>Call UMBC Police, as noted above.</li>
    <li>Inform the government/law enforcement agent that you are not authorized to provide access and that they should coordinate with UMBC Police.</li>
    <li>Invite them to wait in a public area while you contact UMBC Police.</li>
    <li>Do not accept a subpoena or warrant on behalf of the university yourself.</li>
    <li>Do not physically block or interfere with enforcement action. </li>
    <li>Document the interaction. You have the right to document the situation, including: </li>
    </ol>
    <ul><ul>
    <li>Date and time</li>
    <li>Officer name and identification number</li>
    <li>Agency affiliation</li>
    <li>Details of the interaction</li>
    </ul></ul>
    </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>If you have further questions, please reach out to <a href="mailto:ogc@umbc.edu">ogc@umbc.edu</a>. For additional information regarding immigration policy changes that may impact international students, scholars, and employees, please visit the Office of International Students and Scholars <a href="https://isss.umbc.edu/updates/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">policy updates page</a>. </div>

<Title>Chicory Soul of the Butterfly Exhibit</Title>
<Tagline>Now on View in the AOK Library Rotunda</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Soul
     of the Butterfly exhibit is now on view in the Rotunda in the AOK 
    Library at UMBC! Come see the amazing work focused on Baltimore’s 
    Chicory Magazine. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Mark 
    your calendars for our event launch on April 7 at 4:30 PM when we will 
    announce the official merger of Orser Center and Public Humanities while
     discussing the history of Chicory! </div>
    <span><div><br></div>
    <div>In the meantime, stop by and make some poetry :)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>—</div></span><div>
    <p>In the 1960s, Black writers in Baltimore utilized <a href="https://collections.digitalmaryland.org/digital/collection/mdcy/search" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>Chicory</em></a><em>, </em>a
     poetry magazine published by the Enoch Pratt Free Library from 
    1966-1983, as an artistic form for activism. Its five editors published 
    the work by everyone from children to seniors, from social workers to 
    people in prison about everything from bad housing and schools to 
    celebrations of Black joy.  Visit this enlightening exhibition that 
    explores this radical publication.</p>
    <span><p><em><span>Soul of the Butterfly</span></em> is a traveling exhibit that uses <em>Chicory </em>to
     tell the story of how Black artist-activists in Baltimore have been 
    making change since the 1960s. Featuring poetry, artwork, and photos, it
     reminds us why the Baltimore <em>Afro-American</em> called <em>Chicory</em> “the
     most authentic microphone of Black folks talking ever devised.” It 
    connects past and present by featuring work by young writers, artists, 
    and creators in Baltimore in conversation with this history.</p>
    <p><span><em>Soul of the Butterfly</em></span> was
     co-curated by a team of students at Rutgers University-Newark, Bard 
    High School Early College Baltimore, Dewmore Baltimore, and Writers in 
    Baltimore Schools led by Dr. Mary Rizzo and Erin Santana.</p></span><div>Special thanks to </div>

<Title>Congratulations to our recent PhD, ME, and MS graduates!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Three ESI researchers recently defended their dissertation and theses.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>ESI research engineer, <a href="https://esi.umbc.edu/members-a-z/#GaminodelRio" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dr. Ivan Gamino del Rio</a>, earned his PhD in Space Research and Astrobiology from the Universidad de Alcalá, Spain in fall 2024. Dr. Gamino del Rio’s dissertation was titled “New hardware computer architecture approach to increase the reliability of space computer systems”. He developed a novel computational framework from the ground up for space applications, which included a parallel processor to keep track of the telemetry of on-board software as it is running. At the ESI, Dr. Gamino del Rio is currently supporting software development for the Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder for the International Space Station (TIGERISS) instrument. <a href="https://umbc.edu/stories/tigeriss-to-determine-source-of-heavy-elements/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TIGERISS</a>, a collaboration between NASA GSFC and several US universities including UMBC (CSST and ESI), will measure the abundance of heavy elements in cosmic rays emanating from high-energy events, such as supernovas. TIGERISS measurements will help scientists to better understand how and where these particles originated throughout our Milky Way galaxy.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>ESI research engineer <a href="https://esi.umbc.edu/members-a-z/#Arillo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Carissa Arillo</a> earned her Masters of Engineering in Robotics at the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland College Park in fall 2024. Her coursework involved robot perception, navigation, and control, as well as machine learning and modeling. As part of her ME research, Arillo developed a large-scale mission-based autonomous navigation robot with a focus in embedded systems for robotics. At ESI, Arillo leads the software development of a new digital twin architecture for future remote sensing applications. This project is a collaboration between UMBC/ESI and a partnering space industry corporation. Arillo supervises a small team of UMBC students in the demonstration of neural networks that direct a leader-follower pair of spaceborne remote sensors to detect and measure Earth targets.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>ESI systems engineer <a href="https://esi.umbc.edu/members-a-z/#Nelson" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Danny Nelson</a> earned his Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UMBC in winter 2025. His thesis was titled "Thermal design and analysis of a next-generation Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter (HARP) instrument". Nelson developed a thermal model that assesses the design and on-orbit temperature control performance of MegaHARP, a planned future iteration of HARP2. <a href="https://pace.oceansciences.org/harp2.htm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">HARP2</a> is ESI’s advanced Earth observation instrument that is currently on-board the NASA Plankton Aerosol Cloud ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission. He currently supports the testing and development of the <a href="https://esi.umbc.edu/airharp2-at-pace-pax/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">AirHARP2</a> instrument suite at ESI, mission support for <a href="https://esi.umbc.edu/oresat/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">OreSat</a> and HARP2, and GAPMAP, a multi-angle polarimeter mission out of UMBC technology incubation company, GRASP-Earth.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Congratulations Ivan, Carissa, and Danny!</div>
