Happy Fall Semester!
Welcome and best wishes for the semester ahead
Dear Students,
With the first few days of classes officially in the books, I hope you are settling in well to new routines, new classes, and new spaces, and I hope you are as excited as I am as we embark upon the fall semester together.
Anyone who knows me knows that the start of the academic year fills me with joy and inspiration. I am reminded of the meaning and importance of our mission and the remarkable human beings who constitute our beloved UMBC community. It was such a delight for our new provost, Manfred van Dulmen, and me to see this place abuzz with students as we walked around campus on the first day of classes and to visit with many of you at numerous welcome events last week. We are thrilled you are here, and we wish you all the best for a wonderful year ahead!
Sincerely,
President Valerie Sheares Ashby

Take the Campus Climate Survey
Get a chance to win a $25 gift card
Dear Students,
I am reaching out today to invite you to take the UMBC Campus Climate Survey. Students who complete the survey will have a chance to receive a $25 UMBC Bookstore gift card.
You can access the online survey here. The survey will be open from Thursday, May 2, until Thursday, May 16.
This survey is intended to gather information about sexual and gender-based violence on campus, your knowledge of related policies and resources, and your opinion about how helpful and supportive these resources are. The survey takes 15 to 25 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. You may choose to skip questions or stop responding at any point.
Content note: This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears after the survey and is available now on the
ECR website.
By taking the survey, you play a major role in helping UMBC tailor its sexual violence prevention efforts and to improve campus response. The Office of Equity and Civil Rights will be reviewing the results of this survey and sharing what we learn with the campus community. We will incorporate your feedback to shape our policies and practices to promote a safer, healthier, and more welcoming campus.
All students who participate in the 2024 Campus Climate Survey will be eligible to enter a randomized drawing for one of 10 $25 UMBC Bookstore gift cards. After completing the Campus Climate Survey, you will be prompted to enter your name and contact information in a separate voluntary incentive form in order to be entered into the drawing.
Nothing you report in the survey will be linked to your personal information. Your answers are confidential and will only be reported in terms of groups of students rather than as individuals. Your answers to the Campus Climate Survey are not linked in any way to the incentive drawing survey. You are not required to answer a certain number of questions or report specific experiences to be eligible to participate in the incentive survey.
If you have questions about the purpose or content of the survey, please contact the Office of Equity and Civil Rights at
ecr@umbc.edu or 410-455-1717.
Thank you in advance for your participation!
Sincerely,
Tanyka M. Barber
Vice President for Institutional Equity and Chief Diversity Officer

Register and Vote in the 2024 Maryland Primary Election
Registration deadline is Tuesday, 4/23!
UMBC has a strong tradition of very active participation in state and national elections, with high student turnout. This year, Marylanders will elect a new Senator as well as new state and federal legislators, and will participate in electing the President and Vice President of the United States. The Maryland primary election will take place on May 14, 2024. Between now and then, if you are registered to vote in Maryland, you can cast your vote on the UMBC campus by requesting a mail ballot and depositing the completed ballot in the drop-off box located in the lobby of The Commons.
Register to vote: If you are an eligible Maryland resident, you can use the
state's online portal to register. Maryland's deadline to register to vote in advance of the 2024 primary election is April 23. Whether you live in Maryland or not,
UMBC's voter registration portal can help you take the first steps to register and vote in your home state if you are eligible to do so.
Request a mail ballot, then vote in The Commons: Registered Maryland voters can complete an online request for a mail-in ballot
here. Once you have received and completed your ballot, you can submit it by placing it in the official Board of Elections drop-off box in the lobby of The Commons (near the Campus Information Center desk). No postage is necessary. The Board of Elections will pick up ballots placed in the box multiple times each week.
Make a pledge to vote: Every election year,
ALL IN to Vote hosts a Pledge to Vote leaderboard for university students across the country. UMBC placed #4 in the nation on the leaderboard in 2022.
Take the pledge, and spread the word.
Access Maryland and out-of-state voter resources: Find the latest information, including dates for early voting and deadlines to request mailed and electronic ballots, using the ALL IN to Vote portal hosted on the UMBC Center for Democracy and Civic Life
website.
Serve as election judge: The Baltimore County Board of Elections is
recruiting election judges to work at polling stations during the 2024 primary election. These are paid positions and an important public service.
Participate in civic and community engagement programs: Whether you are eligible to register to vote or not, you have a stake in your communities and can play an important role in shaping them. Follow the Center for Democracy and Civic Life's
myUMBC page so you will receive alerts about upcoming opportunities for learning and conversation.
