The UMBC SGA Election Board recently received notification of a possible campaign violation made by ISCOM endorsing Joshua Gray for SGA Vice President.

 

The post was found to not violate 2020 UMBC SGA Election Rules on endorsements as an endorsement was previously made for Joshua Gray on behalf of the ISCOM officers. The endorsement list has been updated to reflect this. The post is considered passive as users on the website can elect to ignore the advertisement if they wish.

 

ISCOM’s post must be edited to display the officer’s endorsement which would serve to specify the source of endorsement, not presuming every members’ decision.

  

The Election Board reminds candidates and their campaign representatives to reference the Election Rules to ensure that their actions are within election guidelines.

ORCID - Connecting the Research Community
Live April 30th, 2:00-3:30 pm EDT/6:00-7:30 pm UTC
Research continues to be an increasingly global collaboration. ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher & Contributor Identifier, is an international nonprofit organization that provides a unique digital identifier (an ORCID iD) for researchers and a record of professional activities. ORCID iDs are free for individuals, and participating organizations around the globe can collect and use the ORCID iDs of their affiliated researchers in research administration workflows. A key benefit to researchers and their institutions is a reduction in administrative burden while streamlining data collection for reporting, measuring, and amplifying research impacts.

Join us for this free webinar where speakers from ORCID, LYRASIS, and University of Arizona will talk about how ORCID 1) promotes research collaboration, 2) supports open data and science, and 3) reduces institutional and faculty administrative burden. 

Feel free to invite your university library colleagues or other internal stakeholders at your institution.  
JOIN OUR CONVERSATION!
*This webinar will be recorded as video and will be available for anyone unable to attend here
