Congratulations Courtney and welcome Jacqui!
I’m pleased to announce that Courtney Hobson will be the new Manager of Programs in the Dresher Center, effective Nov.1. Courtney has done extraordinary work in her time as Coordinator, managing the Humanities Forum and contributing to nearly every aspect of the Dresher Center above and beyond her official duties. Her new role will acknowledge this work and make more formal her role in managing the Forum and other Dresher programs and workshops. She will also step into some of Rachel Brubaker’s former duties as well as partner with me and the Dresher Center team to support and promote humanities work on and off campus. Please join me in congratulating Courtney!
I am also pleased to welcome Jacqui Lom as Administrative Assistant (part-time) in the Dresher Center. Jacqui has been doing a terrific job working with the Humanities and Linnehan Scholars programs and we’re grateful for her willingness to take on some additional tasks in support of the Center. Welcome Jacqui!
Jessica Berman

Emberson part of NASA features on LHASA and DisasterAWARE
The Landslide Hazard Assessment for Situational Awareness (
LHASA) model ingests data to provide a "landslide "nowcast" - a map showing the potential of rainfall-triggered landslides occurring for any given region within the past day. This map of hazard likelihood can help agencies and officials rapidly assess areas where the current landslide risk is high. It can also give disaster response teams critical information on where a landslide may have occurred so they can investigate and deploy life-saving resources."
The Pacific Disaster Center (PDC)'s software DisasterAWARE is utilized for risk assessment and predictability of natural hazards to provide decision-makers with valuable information. "The collaboration with PDC brings NASA's landslide tool to tens of thousands of existing DisasterAWARE users, dramatically increasing LHASA's reach and effectiveness."
Read this
NASA feature about how LHASA and the PDC are impacting actions taken worldwide to address and respond to natural hazards. An additional feature can be found on the
NASA Applied Sciences site.

November Updates & Reminders
As we enter a new month, we want to provide you with some important updates and reminders to get you through the end of the semester. Please take the time to review this message.
Important Dates
Fall Break Closing and Health & Safety Inspections
Eight-month communities (Chesapeake, Erickson, Patapsco, Susquehanna, Harbor East Wing, and Harbor 2nd-5th Floors North) close for Thanksgiving Break on Wednesday, November 22, 2023 at 9:00 p.m. and reopen on Sunday, November 26, 2023 at Noon.
Students in 8-month communities are expected to vacate and complete the below checklist to help ensure the overall health & safety of your room and personal belongings:
Clean your bathroom and personal spaces well.
Remove and dispose of all trash in a trash room or a dumpster.
Turn the heat to 68-72 degrees.
Unplug all appliances and extension cords from the wall, with the exception of refrigerators and fish tanks.
Feed your fish and water your plants.
Pack medications and other necessities you might need during break.
Turn off water.
Turn off lights and bathroom exhaust fans.
Close and lock all windows and doors.
Close blinds on ground-level floor rooms; leave blinds up on all other floors.
Report facilities concerns to FXIT (410-455-3948).
RAs will conduct an inspection in each 8-month community. Failure to properly prepare your space and vacate by the deadline may result in student conduct action. For more information about break closing please contact your RA or Community Director.
For more information about Break Closings visit https://reslife.umbc.edu/important-dates/break-closing/
Room Freeze & End of Fall Semester Room Changes
Fall room assignments are frozen beginning November 30, 2023 to allow Residential Life staff to prepare for any upcoming transitions. Room changes will not be permitted during the remainder of the semester.
If you are looking to change rooms for the Spring Semester, please complete the Room Change Request Form on the Housing Portal. There is a firm deadline of November 30, 2023 at 5 p.m. to submit the ESRC request form. Late applications will not be considered.
Submission of an ESRC application does not guarantee approval. Priority for ESRC approval is as follows: students with an accommodation approval from Student Disability Services, and students approved for an administrative move by Residential Life.
If approved:
Residents moving to a 8-month community are expected to vacate completely by 9 p.m. on December 20, 2023 and will move into their new room on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at 9 a.m.
Residents moving to a 9-month community are expected to relocate on December 21, 2023 between 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; no exceptions will be made.
Spring Semester Housing Petitions
Current residents acknowledged a housing license (contract) that is for the entire academic year. If you do not plan to return to housing in the Spring Semester please review your options and complete the outlined instructions.
Not Returning to UMBC (Transfer, Withdraw and/or Leave): Students who do not plan to return to UMBC are not automatically released from the housing license. You must complete the Petition Request form on the Housing Portal before November 30, 2023.
Extenuating Circumstance Preventing Return to Housing (Medical, Financial, etc.): Students who plan to attend UMBC in the Spring but are unable to return to on-campus housing must complete the Petition Request form on the Housing Portal before November 30, 2023. License releases are extraordinary, not automatic, and will be reviewed, with appropriate supporting documentation.
December Graduates & Spring Study Abroad Students: Residents who have applied and are approved for December graduation or Spring Study Abroad are automatically released from the terms of the license. You are not expected to complete a petition form. However, Walker Avenue residents should contact the WAA Management Office via email before November 30, 2023.
