<Title>UMBC&#8217;s Annual Security Report</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Members of the UMBC Community:</span><span><br><br>Each fall, the UMBC Police Department provides the campus community our Annual Campus Security Report. I encourage you to take a few moments to review this important material.<br><br></span><span>In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, commonly referred to as the Clery Act, this message constitutes notification for our campus community of the availability of the UMBC Annual Campus Security Report (Clery Report) for calendar year 2017. The report is located <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/389wtb/nwtbnbb/n473om" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. Copies of the report are also available at the UMBC Police Station or by emailing <a href="mailto:police@umbc.edu?subject=undefined" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">police@umbc.edu</a>. Clery Report statistics for <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/389wtb/nwtbnbb/3w83om" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2015</a> and <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/389wtb/nwtbnbb/jp93om" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2016</a> are also posted.</span><span><br><br>This report contains statistics about crimes and other incidents that were reported to the UMBC Police Department and/or campus security partners during calendar year 2017, in categories specified by the Clery Act. Please note that the Clery Report tracks incidents based on location only—specifically those reported to have occurred on campus, in off-campus university buildings, in property owned or controlled by the university, or on public property immediately adjacent to the campus.</span><span><br><br>The report also includes information about UMBC policies and practices related to campus security and crime reporting. We encourage all members of our community to report security incidents; the Clery Report describes how and to whom crimes should be reported. </span><span><br><br>In addition, the report contains information on campus resources for those who have experienced a crime; personal safety tips; policies on topics including substance abuse, access to facilities, student discipline, and emergency response and evacuation; and fire safety reports and logs.</span><span><br><br>The UMBC Police Department appreciates that all members of our community—students, faculty, and staff—are essential partners in making UMBC a safe place to learn, live, and work. The UMBC community’s active interest in campus safety is one of our best crime prevention assets.</span><span><em><br><br>Paul Dillon, UMBC Chief of Police</em></span>

<Title>Latest grants from the Hrabowski Fund for Innovation</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>UMBC is proud to announce the projects selected to receive grants in the 2017-2018 rounds of the <em>Hrabowski Fund for Innovation</em> competition.<br><br><strong>IMPLEMENTATION &amp; RESEARCH AWARD (Spring 2018)</strong></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>Math, Fiction and Video: A STEAM Project (Implementation and Research Grant)</strong> — A multidisciplinary team led by Manil Suri (Mathematics) will explore the use of fiction and video in mathematics instruction, in the context of a redesign of Math 120, restructured around the Pl’s math novel, The Godfather of Numbers. This novel weaves in some of the present topics along with new ones, and can be expected to evoke a much stronger “interest experience” response in students. The team will develop a detailed website that includes mathematical exercises derived from the novel’s plotline, several short narrative videos to promote the understanding of key concepts, and a series of essays for publication in national media outlets.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>ADAPTATION AWARD (Spring 2018)</strong></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>“These Aren’t the Kids I signed up for”: General Education Teacher Candidates in Special Education Settings (Adaptation Grant)</strong> — Michele Stites (Education) will provide an opportunity for two groups of UMBC teacher candidates in early childhood, elementary, and secondary programs to complete an early field experience working in an inclusive setting. The teacher candidates will be placed in one of UMBC’s professional development schools where they will be mentored by an in-service special educator, spend three hours a week observing and assisting in-service special educators, and teach lessons in these classrooms under the guidance of their special education mentor teachers and a UMBC designated supervisor. This will allow UMBC’s teacher candidates to obtain authentic experience working with students of diverse abilities, a unique project in a field in which extensive review has indicated that general education teacher preparation programs do not include targeted field work in special education settings.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING &amp; LEARNING AWARD (Fall 2017)</strong></span></div>
    <div><span><strong>Reimagining the Beginning Conducting Curriculum (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grant)</strong> — A team led by Brian Kaufman (Music) will complete a study that will evaluate student reflections in a beginning conducting course in order to understand how the structure of the course and the process-focused assignments impact student learning. These reflections are written in UMBC’s project-based conducting class with the goal of helping students identify and develop successful practice strategies as well as experience and create their own process for approaching a conducting score. This study will help address the research showing that many standard beginning conducting class books focus primarily on the development of generic conducting gestures and lack comprehensive skill building in musical score study.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Proposals for the next round of Innovation Fund grants are due by October 26, 2018. For more information and to apply, visit <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7z1vtb/nwtbnbb/r70zom" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC's Faculty Development Center</a>.<br><br>The <em>Hrabowski Fund for Innovation</em> exemplifies UMBC's commitment to investing in faculty initiatives that fuel creativity and enterprise, create opportunities for students' deeper engagement in their learning, and explore approaches to enhance student success.</span></div>
