Budget Update
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
We are writing to update you about Governor Hogan’s operating budget request for the upcoming fiscal year. The Governor’s proposed FY 2020 budget demonstrates continued commitment to public higher education and strong confidence in UMBC as an innovative research university preparing large numbers of graduates for Maryland’s workforce.
The Governor’s budget for the University System of Maryland (USM) overall would fund a 4.2 percent increase in the System’s operating budget to help USM institutions meet rising costs. The proposed operating budget of $1.4 billion includes an additional $20 million designated for investments to increase degree production at UMBC and other campuses in fields of high workforce demand. This workforce initiative designates $4 million for UMBC programs offered on our main campus and at the Universities at Shady Grove.
The Governor has also proposed funds for a 3 percent COLA salary increase for faculty and staff effective July 1, 2019, to be added to the USM budget once approved by the General Assembly.
We are very grateful that the Governor has proposed a substantial base operating budget increase for UMBC to address the particular challenges our campus faces, including our enrollment growth, the high proportion of our students majoring in high-cost programs, and the lowest level of funding per student among Maryland research universities. The Governor’s budget includes $5 million for investments in instructional capacity in high-demand programs, student success initiatives, expanded research capacity, improved student support services, and administrative and infrastructure improvements. The Governor’s budget also includes $2 million authorized by Senate Bill 1052, which mandates that residential campuses with the lowest funding guideline attainment levels receive additional base funding between FY 2018 and FY 2021.
We also are pleased that the Governor’s capital budget includes $4 million to begin the Utilities Upgrade Project, a three-year project totaling $16 million.
The General Assembly will now consider and vote on the Governor’s operating and capital budget proposals. As in past years, the Board of Regents will not make final tuition rate decisions for the next academic year until legislators pass the budget.
It is vital that members and friends of the UMBC community encourage our legislators to support the Governor’s Workforce Initiative and proposed additional funding for UMBC. The confidence elected leaders have in our campus has everything to do with the excellence and achievements of UMBC faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Ours is a special community. Thank you for all you do to make it so.
President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

UMBC VITA Needs Non-Certified Volunteers for Spring 2019
Students and Staff - Give Back to the Baltimore Community!
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!!
UMBC's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program is in need of non-certified volunteers who don't serve as tax preparers, but will work with clients entirely person-to-person, right on campus at the Apartment Community Center (walkable).
Volunteer responsibilities will involve helping connect low-income Baltimore households to essential financial services like setting up credit union bank accounts, helping them buy savings bonds, and issuing prepaid cards so they avoid check cashing fees.

Available through the Shriver Center if volunteering for 30 hours or more this semester, students can register for our 096 Service-Learning practicum to receive a transcript notation. In addition, students can register for SOCY 396 to earn upper level elective credits. Work with clients
one-on-one and gain skills in relationship building.
EVERYONE CAN GIVE
BACK TO THE BALTIMORE COMMUNITY
Help
support a highly-demanded service in your local community!

Spring Semester Welcome
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
We are delighted to welcome you for the start of the spring semester. The beginning of a new semester provides each of us an opportunity to reflect on our shared goals and values. As we focus on our aspirations, we must also remain mindful of the events taking place in our region and across the nation and world.
Many in our UMBC, local, and regional communities, along with people across the country, are still feeling the effects of the partial federal government shutdown that ended this past weekend with enactment of legislation to fund the federal government through February 15. As we begin the new semester, there are UMBC students, alumni, and families under financial stress. As we continue to hope for a prompt resolution that will avert another shutdown and fund the federal government through the end of the fiscal year, we ask everyone in our community to consider those affected by the shutdown and what they might do to help. We know Retrievers are generous people who give their time and other resources to help those in need. Please consider donating to Retriever Essentials, which aims to combat food insecurity in our UMBC community.
UMBC is a community committed to our shared vision of advancing knowledge, prosperity, and social justice by welcoming and inspiring inquisitive minds from all backgrounds. In these times of both challenge and opportunity, we invite all members of our diverse UMBC family to connect with each other in the spirit of mutual respect, dignity, and understanding. Let us remember that each of us has a story, and that our unique perspectives enrich UMBC and help us reach our shared goals.
During this new semester and beyond, we encourage all members of the UMBC community to explore every angle our inclusive campus has to offer by seeking out new experiences and talking with and learning more about people from different backgrounds. Our Mosaic Center, which celebrates its 15th Anniversary next month, offers many opportunities to expand your horizons. Please review the Mosaic calendar of events and extend your understanding of our diverse campus community. We also encourage you to visit our diversity and inclusion website and to suggest additional resources to promote through inclusion@umbc.edu.
Thank you for all you do to strengthen our community, and best wishes for the new semester.
President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous
