Day One: One Thing
Psalm 27:4- “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.”
Our days are filled with things to do, places to go and people to meet. Most of us multitask every day. Although our list of to do’s may require us to be at different places and perform various tasks, as believers, our identity is rooted in worshipping the One who loved us and gave himself for us. In this psalm, David expresses his heart’s one desire, an all-consuming passion to dwell in the presence of God. To search for our significance or identity in other ambitions and pursuits will leave us empty. Let’s not give our hearts to the worthless things of this world.
I wanted to share one of my favorite songs, which I found myself humming throughout the day recently. It’s a very old song. I love how the lyrics are simple and clear.
“One Pure And Holy Passion” (Mark Altrogge)
Give me one pure and holy passion.
Give me one magnificent obsession.
Jesus, give me one glorious ambition for my life:
To know and follow hard after You.
To know and follow hard after You,
To grow as Your disciple in the Truth,
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing You my Lord.
Lead me on, and I will run after You
God is to be our magnificent obsession! Let’s run after God by keeping our eyes Him and Him alone. I encourage you to read out loud the entire Psalm 27 today and ask the Lord to fill you with one pure and holy passion for Him.
-DP

What Does an SGA Senator Do? (Apply Now for 2017-2018)
by Craig Berger
SGA candidate applications for 2017-2018 are due on Monday, March 27th at 12:00 noon ET.
This is the first of a few items I'll post to provide some background information about the 20 available elected positions (President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Student Organizations, Treasurer, 11 Senators, and 5 Finance Board Representatives). The candidate application can be found here.
The SGA Senate
Membership: The Senate’s members include 11 Senators elected by the student body. In addition, the Senate can add up to three nonvoting First Year Ambassadors each fall. Also, the President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Student Organizations, Treasurer and SGA Advisor, as well as UMBC’s President and Vice President for Student Affairs, are ex-officio (nonvoting) members of the Senate.
The voting members elect a Speaker, who runs the weekly meetings and organizes the Senate’s work, and an Assistant Speaker, who helps the Speaker and organizes members’ participation on UMBC committees.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Communicating with the Student Body: More than any other branch in SGA, the Senate’s job is to listen to the voices of UMBC undergraduates and find new ways to respond to their needs, concerns and aspirations. Senators find and develop multiple avenues for connecting with students, sparking and collecting their ideas, and supporting them in their own projects to improve the UMBC experience.
-
Initiating Action to Improve Students’ Experiences: The Senate is where many of SGA’s new initiatives are born: an incubator of ideas and plans to improve UMBC policies, programs and practices. Senators work together, both at the weekly meetings and in smaller groups throughout each week, to envision needed changes, develop practical plans, and coordinate the work of implementing them, involving and receiving support from Executive Branch officers as appropriate.
For example, the Senate could decide that what the student body needs is new dining options in The Commons. A team of Senators would work together, coordinating with the President, to determine how to pursue these new options (identifying key decision-makers, researching the history of the existing dining options, developing a plan for advocating changes, engaging and informing the student body), and work to make the change happen. If the Senate develops an initiative that requires steady, ongoing attention in subsequent years, the initiative may shift to the Executive Branch for implementation after the first year.
-
Taking Positions/Considering Legislation: When SGA formally takes a position on an issue, such as a bill being considered by the state legislature, it does so in the form of legislation approved by a majority vote of the Senate (which can be vetoed by the President, subject to override by a 2/3 vote of the Senate). The Senate also has or shares responsibility for approving the annual budget, allocations of funds from SGA’s reserve account, and the appointment of certain SGA officers. In addition, the Senate manages a fund from which it can make allocations to SGA projects.
-
Representing the Student Body: Senators represent all students on UMBC committees (consisting of staff, faculty and students) that establish campus policies and practices. Fulfilling this responsibility entails both attending and participating actively in committee meetings and communicating with other SGA members and the student body about what the committees are doing. (This responsibility is shared with the Executive Branch).
-
Participating in SGA Initiatives and Activities: Senators work with members of the other branches of SGA to contribute to positive change on campus.
Guiding Philosophy: The Senate is a focal point for creativity and action. The Senator’s job description is intentionally more flexible than those in other branches, because the specific work Senators take on from year to year is most likely to change in response to new opportunities and needs.
The Senate typically works most effectively when students outside of SGA are involved in its work from the early brainstorming stage through the end of an initiative’s implementation. Members of the UMBC administration and faculty are far more likely to take Senators and their ideas seriously when it is clear that many other students are involved and committed to the same goals. While the Senate sometimes can serve as a problem-solver and advocate on other students’ behalf, it strives to keep other students at the center, and may even play a secondary but crucial role as a supporter of other students’ initiatives.
Because its initiatives can yield new programs and services that require implementation year after year, the Senate must cultivate support and cooperative relationships within SGA, especially with the Executive Branch. Doing so diminishes the possibility that Senators’ good work will be abandoned at the end of their terms.
Eligibility Requirements and Time Commitment: From the SGA Constitution:
"In order to be eligible to seek and hold elected SGA offices, or appointed offices for which a stipend is provided and/or the officer is responsible for supervising other appointed officers, an individual must be a UMBC undergraduate, have at least a cumulative 2.25 GPA, maintain at least a 2.25 semester GPA while in office, and neither be on academic probation nor under disciplinary suspension (whether in effect, imposed for a future time period or held in abeyance). [...] [A]ll Senate and Representatives must adhere to the attendance requirements determined by their respective legislative body and as outlined in each respective body’s procedural rules to maintain eligibility."
The Senator position requires attendance at weekly meetings. The Senate meets every Monday starting at 5:30 p.m. Anyone can attend, but Senators must attend. If you are running for Senator, you are not able to enroll in a class that will be in session after 5:30 p.m. on Mondays during the 2017-2018 academic year. (Meetings occasionally run as late as 11:00 p.m.).
Questions about the Senate, or about running for a position in SGA? Send Election Board Chair Sophia Lopresti (
soph3@umbc.edu) or me (
berger@umbc.edu) an email.

Women in Engineering SURVEY
Please help fill out a survey
Dear SWEethearts,
Please help fill out a survey for a research paper on Women in Engineering!! See below for more information and the link.
My name is Gregory Norris and I'm a UMBC Alum ('96). I'm in a masters program at UMES now doing a paper on Women in Engineering and the effects that high school classes had on women's choices to continue in the Engineering field. I was wondering if it would be possible to submit a survey to your SWE at UMBC. I'm hoping to get women who are currently in college, or out, to let me know how High School engineering ( and STEM ) programs effected their choices. What may have been a hindrance, etc.
This would be an anonymous survey through survey monkey.

CFP: #QueerAF: (Re)presenting Gender & Sexuality
in History and Cultural Studies
#QueerAF: (Re)presenting Gender & Sexuality in History & Cultural Studies
5th Annual Dean Hopper NEW SCHOLARS Conference
5-6 May 2017
The Ehinger Center, Drew University, Madison, NJ
#QueerAF is a hashtag used on Twitter and Tumblr by trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, androgynous and gender fluid users to celebrate content that is unapologetically queer, or “queer as fuck.” The use of “AF” in the title of this conference indicates our interest in exploring the power of language to form community in a digital space through the assignation of #QueerAF. The invocation of slurs such as queer, dyke, homo, slut, bitch, and tranny degrades individuals, and those same words have been subsequently reclaimed, yet not without deep controversy. Establishing a conference that is “#QueerAF” represents our resistance to societal politeness by participating in the reclamation of “queer” and disrupting the heteronormative discourse that terms certain behaviors and bodies dangerous or degenerate.
The conference theme draws on multiple disciplines and perspectives on gender and sexuality, inviting challenges to the heteronormative, cisgender, patriarchal discourse of history. Proposals are invited for papers on any aspect of Gender & Sexuality across all time periods and geographical locations. In particular, this conference will be centering around three major themes: Historical & Cultural studies, Linguistics & Theory, and Activism & Media.
CFP:
Areas include but are not limited to the topics below:
Historical & Cultural Studies:
- Empire, colonialism and gender
- Gender, Sexuality and the politics of Health Care & Psychiatry

- Representations of queerness in film and media (Transparent, The New Normal)

- The Gendered Body & Disability Studies
- Sexology (Hirschfeld, Carpenter, Krafft-Ebbing, Ellis)
