To: Class of December 2020

From: Commencement Committee

Date: October 12, 2020

Subject: Save the Date to Celebrate December 16 and 17

Dear Class of 2020,

The Commencement Committee is so impressed by your grit and perseverance during this challenging time. We wish each of you luck as you complete your final courses and prepare for life after graduation. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we plan to celebrate your achievements.

We are delighted to ask you to Save the Date for an online commencement ceremony. We will be hosting virtual ceremonies on Wednesday, December 16 for Graduate students and Thursday, December 17 for Undergraduate students. Both events will be available at 10 a.m. They will also be available for continued viewing after the events.

Hosted by President Hrabowski and campus leaders, these events will include speaker remarks, campus photos, and individual slides recognizing each graduate. The slides will be made available for download. We encourage all of you and your families to participate in the ceremony by sharing on social media during the initial screening. We are confident you will see many members of our community cheering you on.  Also, keep an eye on your mailbox﹘you’ll be receiving a special school spirit package.

Each graduate who chooses to participate in the online ceremony will have a slide featuring their photograph, name, and Latin honors earned. You will soon be receiving an email inviting you to record your name and upload a photograph for the online ceremony. In order to participate in the online ceremony, you will have to log into the website using the link in the email and confirm your name and degree information. Once you have logged into the website, you will be able to provide the correct pronunciation of your name and upload a photograph for your slide. The email will include technical requirements for photos. Name pronunciations must be uploaded by November 22 and photographs must be uploaded by December 6. 

Be creative and personalize your photograph! Did you purchase a graduation cap? Decorate and share it using #UMBCgrad! If you have not yet ordered your cap and gown or regalia and would like to do so, contact the UMBC Bookstore. 

  • Undergraduate caps and gowns must be purchased through the Bookstore, and you may wear them when we hold an in person-ceremony in the future. 

  • Masters and Ph.D. graduates may rent regalia through the Bookstore. You will be responsible for shipping the regalia back to the third-party vendor, Herff Jones, using the shipping label provided. Masters and Ph.D. graduates who rent regalia now for photos will need to rent regalia again if you wish to participate in the future in-person ceremony. 

There is no need to order a cap and gown to participate in online ceremonies. If you choose not to order regalia, you can show off your Retriever spirit in your best black and gold. All photographs will be reviewed, so please make sure it is appropriate and does not contain offensive images or language. We also ask that your photograph not contain other peoples because we cannot confirm their consent to be pictured online.

UMBC Vice President for Information Technology Jack Suess will soon receive one of the highest national recognitions offered to professionals in his field: the EDUCAUSE Leadership Award. 

EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association that focuses on information technology (IT) in higher education and includes more than 2,300 member colleges, universities, and groups. Suess ‘81, mathematics, M.S. ‘94, information systems, will receive the award during the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, which will be held virtually this month. 

“This is a tremendous honor for me. Given that my entire career has been at UMBC, it also is testament to the innovative and collaborative culture of the UMBC community,” Suess says. “In particular, I want to highlight the technology leadership of my Division of Information Technology colleagues. Through all of their efforts, UMBC is looked at as a model for the use of technology in higher education.”

Collaborative leadership

Suess was nominated and selected to receive the Leadership Award for his commitment to innovation and advancing research and scholarship in technology. He is also being honored for creating a culture of collaboration and opportunity among faculty, staff, students, and other higher education stakeholders, and for his work in diversity, equity and inclusion.

“Leaders around the country admire Jack’s valuable contributions to IT and higher education. He is a fine example of enlightened leadership,” says UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski. “We all know Jack leads effectively by serving selflessly. What makes him most extraordinary is that his emotional intelligence matches his impressive technical skills.”

Career of service

Suess has been involved with EDUCAUSE for more than two decades, serving on a variety of committees before joining the board of directors in 2014 and serving as chair of the board in 2018. Currently, Suess serves on the IMSglobal Board of Directors, which he chaired from 2015 to 2020. He is a former member of the Internet2 Board of Directors, where he received the inaugural Internet2 Presidential Leadership Award in 2011. 

At UMBC, Suess has previously received the UMBC Presidential Staff Award (2004) and the UMBC Alumni Volunteer Award (2000). He served on the inaugural advisory board for UMBC’s Center for Women in Technology from 1998 to 2013.

Ralph was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a young boy in 1947. Doctors told his parents he’d never be independent, but both Ralph and his parents were determined to prove them wrong. In the next few years, Ralph lost his ability to walk. At a young age, he set his mind to engineering the first battery-powered scooter. From there he designed the world’s first wheelchair lift, installed in an old postal Jeep and complete with hand controls. Necessity is the mother of invention, and Ralph’s physical limitations only served to fuel his determination to live independently and prove to society that people with physical disabilities can participate fully and actively in life.
