10-minute survey about proposed academic calendar changes & financial wellbeing Ensure your perspective is taken into account! UMBC is considering making changes to the academic calendar, including some that would take effect as early as Fall 2025. We want to learn your opinions of those proposed changes. To reduce the number of surveys we ask you to fill out, we also want to ask a couple of questions about your financial wellbeing.

The GSA President will present the results regarding the proposed academic calendar changes at the Faculty Senate meeting on Tue 10 Dec 2024.

This survey is completely anonymous. We will not be able to tell who responded and/or who didn't unless you identify yourself in one or more of the comments.

The survey can be completed in 10 minutes.

You can access the survey at https://forms.gle/RwLy5n82YQbxX28d7

Please contact gsapresident@umbc.edu with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your participation.

December 3 is the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, honoring the United Nation's commitment for promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities - more than 1 billion people worldwide are in this demographic, the world's largest minority. The day raises awareness of the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of disability that affects people around the world. 

The theme for 2024 is: Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future.  The theme the important role that persons with disabilities play in creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all. It also emphasizes the importance of the participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes that affect their lives. More information about the UN In-Person New York Commemoration event is from 10-11a.  The event will be streamed online from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. You can watch it live at the following link: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wej4fsjh.


Working toward an accessible future is everyone's responsibility. As a campus, we engage together to create a future which insists that people are not needlessly excluded due to health conditions that create substantial limitations in how people engage with the world. Currently some ways that  campus members can participate are:


UMBC's Accessibility & Disability Services partners with the entire campus community -departments, groups, and individuals - to overcome barriers. Student Disability Services  is a resource for all students with disabilities. We have a strong partnership with Facilities Management and  UMBC Sustainability as well.

If there is an accessibility concern on campus - report it via this linked form.  With Facilities Management as central for maintenance or repair reporting - the best, first step is to report repairs to Work Control via 410-455-2550 or Workorder@umbc.edu.  For residential hall repair conditions, non-emergencies can be reported to http://fxit.umbc.edu, and emergencies can be called in to the FXIT line: 410-455-3948.

For those heading into shopping for the holidays, Yelp is providing crowd-sourced information about business accessibility - which can be an asset to dining out as well.  It's also helpful to call ahead with any public business for specific details from dietary restrictions and allergies to stair-free navigation to sensory-compatible environments. 

Travel is also a highlight of this season - given the diversity of disability, here is a more inclusive list of tips to ease travel hassles.

November is also about:

Epilepsy Awareness Month  and

COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Awareness Month 

American Diabetes Awareness Month 

Native American Heritage Awareness Month is also tied to November, and as all racial and ethnic identities intersect with disabilities we note:

Understanding Autism in Indigenous Communities

In this November 15 webinar, the National Autism Coordinator, Dr. Susan Daniels, hosts an illuminating conversation with clinical psychologist and parent, Dr. Crystal Hernandez (Cherokee), advocate Jim Warne (Oglala Lakota [Sioux] Nation), and autistic self-advocate Jules Edwards (Anishinaabe), who will talk about the intersection of their Native American heritage with their professional and lived experiences with autism. The discussion focuses on needs across indigenous communities in the U.S. and recent projects and initiatives to increase outreach and provide resources to help Native Americans with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Enjoy November and the holiday season with all that it celebrates and illuminates!

Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a five-day immersive learning experience in which UMBC undergraduate and graduate students explore the systemic and human dimensions of complex social issues in Baltimore. Participants build connections with local leaders, organizations, and policy makers and develop a sophisticated understanding of available resources and challenges. The program helps participants identify pathways to long-term community engagement.

This year’s ASB program will take place from Monday, March 17 – Friday, March 21, 2025. ASB participants spend much of the program in small groups (co-led by undergraduate students trained by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life) focused on exploring a specific topic in depth. ASB 2025 groups will focus on:

  • Health and Patient Care Equity (co-led by Vunnathi Ankem and Natalia Cooper)
  • Environmental Justice and Sustainability (co-led by Bianca Canales and Tanzila Malik)
  • Reforming Juvenile Justice (co-led by Aanayah Trotman and Nyssa Vilchis)

As part of your application, you will get to identify the topic groups that interest you most.

Learn more about ASB 2025 and access the application. The application is due by Friday, December 20, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

The Center for Democracy and Civic Life hosts ASB. If you have questions about ASB, contact Ricky Blissett at rblissett@umbc.edu.

The application for the Center for Democracy and Civic Life’s other immersive program, the STRiVE leadership for public purpose program, also is open now (due November 8).
