    <div>Happy American Heart Health Month and the start of a new semester! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In February, our wellness initiative is focused on heart health and we offer a Cardio 101 class with Alea Burke in the RAC for all ages and life stages.  We continue our Work-Life Wellbeing series with a custom built program on Discovering Your Work-Life Balance based on focus group feedback. We also continue our Communication series with Active Listening, a session in collaboration with Bowie State. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>February Training Calendar</strong></div>
    <div>Attached is a PDF of our February Training Opportunities. This PDF has links to register for each of the events listed. We look forward to seeing you at many of these events to engage you in our community of learning.</div>
    <div>A few events of particular note in our February calendar are: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We continue our series on <strong>Work-Life Wellbeing</strong>. Throughout the spring, we will have one event per month that will focus on the balance we all strive to hold between our work lives and our home lives. February will focus on that integration of the two facets of our lives with <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/112563" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Work-Life Wellbeing: Discovering Your Work-Life Balance</a>.  This is an experiential 3-hour session that moves the participant from abstract to creating an individualized plan of action. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We have revamped our <strong>PMP Training for Supervisors</strong> and are rolling out sessions on both <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/112645" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">February 16th</a> and <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/113388" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">March 14th</a> with Michale S. Tallon, Director of Employee/Labor Relations. If you are a new supervisor looking for training in anticipation of giving your first PMP, or a seasoned manager looking for a refresher, this is the training for you!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Also in February, we will continue our series on communication skills with <strong><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/113599" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Active Listening</a></strong>. This session is a collaboration with Mary Ogan from Bowie State and will be open to both campuses. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Coming up in March, our collaboration with the USM Learning &amp; Talent Development Committee will bring a mini-conference on <strong><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/113806" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Performance Review Prep</a></strong>! This half day mini-conference pulls sessions from our EAP Provider, Guidance Resources and ComPsych and includes sessions for both supervisors and their staff to get ready for productive PMP discussions. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Happy Learning!</div>

    <div>Book Summary: Most colleges and <span>universities embrace the ideals of diversity </span><span>and inclusion, but many fall short, especially </span><span>in the hiring, retention, and advancement of </span><span>faculty who would more fully represent our </span><span>diverse world—in particular, women and </span><span>people of color. In this book, Abigail Stewart</span>
    </div>
    <div>and Virginia Valian argue that diversity and <span>excellence go hand in hand and provide </span><span>guidance for achieving both.</span>

<Title>Update and Resolution around WiFi issues earlier this week</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>I wanted to thank everyone for the quick feedback as we worked through WiFi Issues on Monday that affected several lecture halls and large classrooms. </span></p>
    <p><span>We made changes to the wifi devices in these spaces throughout Monday to resolve the connectivity issues we saw in the morning and afternoon. The problems were largely due to a problem with the network not automatically scaling in response to the demand. Our staff was able to troubleshoot the problem and make a number of adjustments to the system late in the day. These adjustments allowed us to force the devices to increase their power and capacity, ensuring everyone could access the wireless during their classes. </span></p>
    <p><span>Throughout Tuesday and Wednesday we met with faculty just before class to check in, and had staff sitting within the classes to monitor and check on the adjustments we had made. We observed much better performance, and confirmed with faculty and students on both days that they were able to access the network during class without issue. </span></p>
    <p><span>While I regret that the issues on Monday occurred, I really appreciate the cooperation and willingness to  help us get this resolved quickly. We are going to continue monitoring classes in these spaces to ensure everything is working smoothly over the next week. I would encourage anyone who experiences issues to submit a ticket via </span><a href="https://my.umbc.edu/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>myUMBC Help</span></a><span> so we can address your issue as quickly as possible. I'm also happy to provide more details on the changes and adjustments we made to address this issue if folks are interested, my email is listed below. </span></p>
    <p><span>To the entire UMBC community, thank you for all of the communication, feedback and partnership getting this resolved. I'm sorry for the inconvenience it caused. </span></p>

<Title>OSP Spring Break Proposal Deadlines (March 20-March 21)</Title>
<Tagline>Special Announcement on Spring Break Proposal Deadlines</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span><strong>MEMORANDUM</strong></span></p>
    
    <p><span>DATE:             
    2/3/2023</span></p>
    
    <p><span>TO:  </span><span>               
    </span><span>Business Managers/Department Chairs/Center Directors</span><span>/</span>Faculty</p>
    
    <p>FROM:<span>           
    </span>Michael T. Walsh, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs </p>
    
    <p>RE:<span>                 
    </span>OSP Spring Break Deadlines: March 20, 2023-March 21, 2023</p>
    
    <p><span>_____________________________________________________________</span></p>
    
    <p><span>Due to several recent inquiries on this topic, OSP is now
    publishing this special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for
    reviewing/approving proposals with deadlines to Federal, State, and Other
    Agencies that occur during UMBC's Spring Break this year. UMBC will be
    closed for a "University Holiday" on Monday March 20<sup>th</sup> and Tuesday
    March 21<sup>st</sup> and will re-open on Wednesday March 22<sup>nd</sup>.</span>
    Since UMBC is closed during these two days, OSP will also be closed and OSP
    personnel will not be available during the Spring Break holidays for
    consultation or proposal submission(s). </p>
    
    <p><span>Please note the following:</span></p>
    
    <p><span><span>1.<span>    
    </span></span></span><span>All proposals with submission
    </span><strong><u>deadlines occurring on Monday March 20, 2023 and/or Tuesday
    March 21, 2023 </u></strong><span>must be <em>fully routed, ready for submission, and release</em></span><em>d</em><span>to the OSP office for final review and submission by<strong> 9 AM on Friday
    March 17, 2023</strong>.</span></p>
    
    
    
    <p><strong><span><span>2.<span>      </span></span></span></strong>Thus, proposals that have a 3/20 or
    3/21 submission date will be submitted on 3/17.  Therefore one must have their routing and proposal materials (SOW, budget, etc.) submitted to OSP no later than <strong><u>9 AM on Tuesday March 14<sup>th</sup></u></strong>
    (three business days before the final submission date) for OSP review and
    recommendations.</p>
    
    <p>This schedule is consistent with our current policy, which requires the
    submission of complete proposals to OSP <strong>at
    least three <strong>(3</strong></strong><strong><span>)</span></strong><strong> business days</strong> before the agency submission deadline. </p>
    
    <p>Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed
    on a first-come/first-serve basis and will be submitted only if time
    permits.  In keeping with the deadline enforcement policy of ORCA (Office
    of the Vice President for Research &amp; Creative Achievement), any proposal
    not fully routed and ready for submission by 9:00 AM of the deadline date
    (3/17/23) will not be submitted to the agency.  </p>
    
    <p>Best Regards,</p>
