Dear UMBC Community,

I am pleased to share that I have appointed an interim vice president for University Communications and Marketing (UCM), the university’s central hub for marketing, communications, and brand.

With the assistance of The Registry, a firm that specializes in higher education interim leadership placements, we have secured Tim Cobb, a seasoned marketing and communications leader, to serve as interim vice president starting today, January 8.  

Tim brings more than 29 years of experience in leading strategic marketing and communications efforts for universities and professional service organizations. Most recently, he served as interim executive director of communications and marketing for Bemidji State University in Minnesota, where he successfully launched the university’s first centralized marketing and communications division. Prior to that, in his work as vice president of marketing and communications at Willamette University in Oregon and as vice president for integrated communications and chief marketing officer at Southwestern University in Texas, he was responsible for all marketing and communications—including brand strategy, market research, online marketing, social media, creative development, media planning and buying, public relations, and crisis management. Tim has also spent time leading creative strategy at several marketing agencies.

Tim earned his bachelor’s degree from Oregon State University and his master’s in management science from Purdue University. He has also served as president of the Portland, Oregon, chapter of the American Marketing Association and as president of the Portland Advertising Federation.

Tim’s arrival marks an important next step in the continuing evolution of UCM following the departure of Vice President Tracey Reeves at the end of last year. I am so pleased that he has chosen to share his talents with us in this important leadership role at this pivotal time. We have also launched the search for UCM’s permanent vice president, with the goal of filling that position in the coming year.

Please join me in welcoming Tim to Baltimore and to our UMBC community.

Sincerely, 

President Valerie Sheares Ashby

Can We Trust AI-Generated Code?

Workshop sponsored by UMBC & Army Research Laboratory
Feb. 25-26, 2025 UMBC Training Centers, Columbia, MD & online

position paper deadline extended to 1/20/2025
The era of generative AI is upon us, and chatbots such as chatGPT are being used by programmers at all levels of experience to produce code.  Some generative AI systems, such as Gemini Code Assist, specialize in code generation.  Unfortunately, AI-generated code often contains errors in the form of functionality that fails to meet specifications or vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers.  People have been working on program verification and secure coding for sixty years, but even so, the skill needed to find such errors is possessed by only a fraction of software engineers, and these skills are not being passed on to student programmers as they should be.

The goal of this FREE workshop is to gather and produce actionable ideas and suggestions that may be of use to the IT profession.  The workshop will consist of invited speakers, panels, and open discussion. 

We invite would-be participants to submit short position papers offering comments, observations, experiences, and suggestions that pertain to any or all of the following workshop themes:
  1. What is or could be done to make AI-generated code more trustworthy, from the perspective of functionality and/or cybersecurity?
  2. How can we do better at instilling the ideas and tools of secure development into the software profession?
  3. Being able to produce quality code, with or without the aid of AI, seems to be related to system skills in general. How can we do better at giving students these skills before (or as) they enter the workplace?
Position papers should limited to three pages and submitted according to this template.  Submit your position paper via email to codebot25@umbc.edu after registering for the workshop.

The organizing committee will select several papers for live presentation at the workshop. Selection will be based on relevance to the workshop themes, technical merit, and perceived interest to the audience.  Position papers that are mere marketing pieces will not be considered, but descriptions of hardware and software solutions tying into the themes described above are welcome. Limited travel support may be available for non-local speakers. Position papers and summaries of the discussions that follow will make up the core of the workshop report.

UMBC students, both graduate or undergraduate, are welcome to submit position papers that describe their own personal experience and observations with AI-generated code in their own words.  Students may include their resumes with position papers if they wish to have their work/resume circulated to other attendees.  Domestic and international students are welcome to participate in this workshop.

Important Dates:
  Position paper submission deadline: January 20, 2025
  Notice of acceptance: January 31, 2025
  Registration deadline: February 18, 2025
    (no registration fee, but space is limited)
  Workshop dates: February 25-26, 2025

The workshop will take place at UMBC Training Centers, 6996 Columbia Gateway Dr #100, Columbia, MD 21046

In-person space is limited, so register early! Based on RSVPs received, the organizing committee reserves the right to be selective in whom it selects to join the in-person meeting.

Instructions for virtual participation will be made available prior to the workshop.

We hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday break. 

As a reminder, the State has a new prescription vendor, MedImpact, effective January 1, 2025. 

CVS Caremark is no longer the State's prescription vendor. The last day of coverage under CVS Caremark was December 31, 2024. 

Employees who were enrolled in prescription coverage in 2024 were automatically enrolled in MedImpact as of January 1, 2025. New employees who were hired in December 2024 and elected prescription coverage were enrolled with MedImpact. 

Since the State only has one prescription vendor, this was a mandatory change for all State employees. All State of Maryland employees who were enrolled in prescription coverage during the 2024 calendar year were automatically enrolled in prescription coverage with MedImpact as of January 1, 2025. 

The information about changing to MedImpact as the new prescription vendor was shared by the State Employee Benefits Division during their Open Enrollment period this past Fall (Oct 15th - Nov 8th), and by the HRSTM Benefits & Wellness Team during our Open Enrollment Information Session and on our Open Enrollment website. 


MedImpact

Here is the link to the MedImpact website for more information. 

State employees who have prescription coverage for the 2025 calendar year began receiving their MedImpact prescription cards to their home address around December 19, 2024 in envelopes from MedImpact (see image below and attached). 

Please check your mail carefully for this envelope. If you did not receive your MedImpact card(s) in the mail, please call MedImpact at 1-844-348-8508. 

Employees should begin using their MedImpact cards at their pharmacy as of January 1, 2025, and they should discard their CVS Caremark prescription cards. 

Employees and their covered spouse should have received MedImpact cards. If you need to request a duplicate card, you can do so by calling MedImpact. 

You can login to your Workday account to confirm you have prescription coverage for the 2025 calendar year.
