I am delighted to share that Gina King has been promoted to Director of Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation.  Gina came to UMBC in 2018 as the Associate Director of Recruitment, Events, and Orientation.  


Prior to joining the campus community, Gina was the Director of College Counseling at the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore and before that Director of Admissions at McDaniel College.  In these positions, she has played an integral role in helping the schools and students have a successful experience in the college selection and enrollment process. This was especially evident during the past two years in responding to the challenges of the COVID pandemic.  During this time, Gina and her team adapted many of our recruitment and events to best meet the needs of the campus and, most importantly, our students and families. Working with campus partners from Marketing to Enrollment Management and DoIT, Gina and her entire team played a critical role in the university enrolling its largest, first-year class ever.  In addition, she has been a leader in the initial implementation of the Salesforce CRM that will successfully position the university to engage our students from prospects to alumni.  Her mentorship of staff and collaborative approach are also noteworthy, and I am confident the campus will benefit tremendously from working with her in this increased capacity.

 

As Gina assumes the role of Director and oversees the daily operations of the office, I will be able to focus more of my work as the Assistant Vice Provost for strategic partnerships and enrollment initiatives.  I will be working with campus partners such as school systems, community colleges, and community-based organizations, to further strengthen and nurture these critical relationships and to create pathways for students to pursue opportunities for study at UMBC.


Please join me in congratulating Gina in her new role!


Dale Bittinger
Assistant Vice Provost

REPOST: Love On Our Terms

Queer and Trans Love Panel
A message from our colleagues at Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b). Original post here.

Queer and Trans Love is a radical act that reimagines new realities and possibilites. Love is at the center of belonging and community. Explore with us what queering love, queer and trans family-buidling, love as an act of social justice, and radical self-love means for our panelists. Bring all of your questions to LGBTQIA+ identifying staff, faculty, and alumni who can share what it means to be queer and/or trans and experience love and what relationships look and feel like for us.

To stay up to date with Pride Center happenings, you can sign up for our Listserv/Google Groups HERE.

Our i3b staff strives to create the most inclusive environment possible. All undergrads, grads, staff, faculty, and alumnx are encouraged to attend! If you need to request a disability-based accommodation or have any questions? Contact us at i3b@umbc.edu.

Queer and Trans Love is a radical act that reimagines new realities and possibilites. Love is at the center of belonging and community. Explore with us what queering love, queer and trans family-buidling, love as an act of social justice, and radical self-love means for our panelists. Bring all of your questions to LGBTQIA+ identifying staff, faculty, and alumni who can share what it means to be queer and/or trans and experience love and what relationships look and feel like for us.

To stay up to date with Pride Center happenings, you can sign up for our Listserv/Google Groups HERE.

Our i3b staff strives to create the most inclusive environment possible. All undergrads, grads, staff, faculty, and alumnx are encouraged to attend!

Today (February 16) and tomorrow (February 17) are UMBC’s Giving Day, when students, faculty, staff, alumni, family, and friends of UMBC pull together to support the programs that are helping students get the support they need to thrive. This year, the Center for Democracy and Civic Life and other Division of Student Affairs departments are prioritizing our Retriever Essentials food pantry and Stay Black and Gold emergency fund. Both initiatives are supporting hundreds of students by reducing food insecurity and providing short-term financial assistance for those who find it difficult or impossible to continue their education due to an emergency or sudden unforeseen circumstances.

Please consider making a donation in any amount to these and other initiatives at UMBC, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Click here to donate to either Retriever Essentials or the Stay Black and Gold fund.

If you would like to support students’ participation in Alternative Spring Break, STRiVE, and other Center for Democracy and Civic Life initiatives including voter engagement, you can do so here.
