Webinar Panel

Samantha Smith, assistant director of health promotion in University Health Services, was a panelist for The Chronicle of Higher Education's "Promoting Health on Campus During COVID-19" webinar on July 15. The webinar was an opportunity for higher education professionals across the country to discuss the measures that colleges and universities were taking to bring students back  to campuses safely. While many schools are strongly communicating the need for public health prevention practices, UMBC strongly communicated the need to keep student health and the student experience at heart. Watch the discussion.

UMBC Parking Services Will Not Be Issuing Parking Permits This Fall.  Beginning August 15, we are requiring all new students, faculty and staff to register their vehicles on the UMBC Parking Portal. Registering your vehicles will better prepare you for our return to permits in the future. Please note that returning individuals should verify their vehicle information.  As a reminder, you may have up to three vehicles on your account but only one may be on campus at any time.

We will not enforce parking zones this fall; however, we encourage you to use your standard zone when possible. Maryland Traffic Regulations will be enforced by university parking enforcement officers and there will be no charge to park in the visitor lots.  Zipcar will not be available this fall; however, we expect them to return in the future. 

The Parking Services Office will not be physically staffed this fall, but our staff will be available to assist you during our normal office hours of 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday – Friday. Have a question? Contact us at 410-455-2551 or parking@umbc.edu. We will be providing information on our Facebook and Twitter pages and will be launching Instagram and YouTube accounts this fall to provide you with the information you need to park on campus.

 Dr. Tania Lizarazo and her community based digital storytelling work are featured in June's Ideas on Fire, Imagine Otherwise podcast. Dr. Lizarazo's digital storytelling projects include Mujeres Pacíficas, a collaboration with Afro-Colombian women activists; Sexualidades Campesinas, a collaboration with LGBTQ members of farm working communities in California’s Central Valley, and three collaborations with immigrants in Baltimore: Moving Stories: Latinas in Baltimore; Intercultural Tales: Learning with Baltimore’s Immigrant Communities (with Thania Muñoz Davaslioglu); and Honest Conversations: Faith Community Dialogues on Immigration and Race (with Felipe Filomeno).

'What does it mean to value storytelling as a form of knowledge production? How can we develop collaborative research projects with the communities to which we are accountable? What transformative avenues emerge when we ask what people need rather than making assumptions?
In episode 91 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, host Cathy Hannabach talks with professor Tania Lizarazo about how digital storytelling lets her build transnational community and accountability in deeply local spaces, the very different process of doing collaborative research that actively enriches the lives of everyone involved (not just the lives of scholars in the academy), and why being willing to listen and learn together in public is how Tania imagines otherwise.' 

Click here to read the full article and listen to her interview on Imagine Otherwise! If you are interested in learning more about digital storytelling and Dr. Lizarazo's methods of project-based learning and collaborative research projects in examining  the ways in which cultural identity is constructed through global media and the role of technology indefining humanness in an increasingly digital world, her class GLBL 409(01)/MLLI 490: I'm a Cyborg but that's OK is running this Fall semester Wednesdays 4.30-7pm- spaces still available, register today!

This final week, in our discussion with the Association of Black Artists on Maurice Berger’s Race Stories, ABA Secretary and visual artist, Justin Okpara, has reflected on “On the Streets of Harlem, a Sense of Erase and Replace.” In his response, Justin reflects on the education system’s role in gentrification and deliberate disregard of Black narratives in core curriculum courses, redlining and gentrification in Baltimore, and his role as an artist to address racial issues in his work.


Check out his reflection here: tinyurl.com/yyuzxwm9


We would like to thank the Association of Black Artists for furthering this conversation about race in art and we’re looking forward to seeing and supporting all they continue to do on campus!

It stopped creating envelope transactions for approximately 10 minutes from 11:46 am - 11:56 am today.

If you got the message below you will need to try again as your request did not get submitted.

HOURLY_APIINVOCATION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

I have escalated a case with DocuSign to get this limit increased asap.

Until they respond it will be necessary to wait until the next hour whenever this message is displayed at which time a fresh allotment of 1,000 transactions is granted.

I apologize for this inconvenience and will provide an update as soon as I hear back from the DocuSign.

Thank you
