Update for all Graduate Assistants: 

GAAC has completed an analysis of a proposed bill that would impact GAs at UMBC and other institutions of the University System of Maryland. It is HB 270, the Graduate Assistant Collective Bargaining Fairness Act. 

The executive summary of the document is copied below, and the complete document is attached.

The purpose of the document is to describe the position of the GAAC at UMBC on HB 270, the Graduate Assistant Collective Bargaining Fairness Act, and to provide the reasoning for our position. GAAC arrived at its position on the matter by taking four points into account:

1) Unclear benefits from the contracts that would be negotiated under collective bargaining, an issue which GAAC will investigate further,

2) Additional GA expenses that may arise from passage of the bill,

3) The impact of unionization on existing relationships, and;

4) Political considerations of the proposed bill.

From the Liberal Arts to the Natural Sciences, past and present UMBC graduate students are renowned for their research contributions to their respective fields. The 2019 GEARS is a campus-wide event which provides a platform for graduate and Ph.D. students across all disciplines to come together to share their research, network professionally, and engage in intellectual discussions.

The Graduate Experience, Achievements, & Research Symposium (GEARS) will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, in the University Center, Third Floor. 

All graduate students at any stage of their graduate career are invited to deliver various forms of presentations highlighting the amazing work being done at the UMBC Graduate School.

Information about submitting an abstract can be found on our conference website. If you are interested in participating in the Graduate Experience, Achievements, & Research Symposium, submit your abstract here. If you have any questions, please contact us at gsa@umbc.edu.
