What is Retriever Essentials you ask?
RETRIEVER ESSENTIALS: a faculty, staff, and student partnership to tackle food insecurity in our university community.
Many college students across the United States are classified as food insecure*, and UMBC is no exception. Lacking a steady source of nutritious meals can affect students’ physical and mental health, their grades, and their ability to engage in campus life.
Their mission is to develop a comprehensive program of resources which eliminates the immediate burden of food insecurity for UMBC members and connects them to ongoing support networks in order to enhance their academic retention and career success.

Get Your Flu Shot on Campus!
Dear UMBC Community,
As we enter flu season, UMBC is committed to keeping our community safe, healthy, and informed. An influenza vaccine is an important step in keeping yourself and others well. It will also help reduce the number of preventable hospitalizations related to flu, which will, in turn, support our nation’s medical community in ensuring that persons impacted by COVID-19 receive adequate and timely medical care.
Retriever Integrated Health is partnering with Safeway pharmacy on a campus flu vaccination and COVID-19 Pfizer booster clinic on October 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the newly renovated Retriever Activities Center. The COVID-19 Pfizer booster is now available for those who are eligible. You may get both the flu vaccine and the booster at the same time.
Vaccines may also be available at local pharmacies (please call ahead to check) or from your primary care doctor.
Please remember to take steps to prevent the spread of cold and flu as well as to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in our community and beyond:
Get a flu shot. Get a COVID-19 booster when you are eligible.
Stay home if you are sick! Do not come to campus.
Remember to wear your mask properly.
Masks are required inside all campus buildings.
If you remove your mask to eat or drink, please put it back on when you are finished.
Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds and/or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizing stations are located around campus.
For additional ways to protect yourself and others during flu season, visit theMaryland Department of Health website or theCDC flu website.
For additional information about protecting yourself and others from COVID-19, visit the CDC COVID-19 website.
Retriever Integrated Health is here to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us at 410-455-2542 for more information.
Thank you for helping to keep our community healthy.

Stan Jackson, Office of Sponsored Programs, is Retiring
Celebration Events on Thursday, October 21, 2021
Stan Jackson, Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), in the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) will be retiring from UMBC after 32 years of USM service, including nearly 12 at UMBC. Please join us in wishing Stan well as he transitions into retirement life:
-
WebEx Celebration on Thursday, October 21, 2021, from 10-11 a.m. Please block the time on your calendar and join us using this link. Please sign this e-card before October 21.
-
An in-person buffet luncheon on Thursday, October 21, 2021, from 1-4 p.m. in Catonsville. Please reach out to Dean Drake at ddrake@umbc.edu if you are interested in attending. We will have something at the event for you to sign.
When Stan first joined USM, he started as an Accounting Associate with the Maryland 4-H Foundation, then worked as an accounting associate for UMCP’s contract and grant accounting office, before moving to the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI). He then became a Contract and Grant Administrator for the central research office and Business Manager for the Center of Marine Biotechnology at UMBI. Continuing his support at the departmental level, he moved to UMCP’s Department of Psychology before coming to UMBC’s OSP as a Grants and Contracts Manager in 2009. In 2015, Stan was promoted to Assistant Director of OSP, and then to Director of OSP in 2017. While serving as the OSP Director Stan was integral in the implementation of Kuali, a key platform necessary to support the continued growth of UMBC’s research and creative achievement activities. Stan also developed and implemented a telework plan for OSP-- the first in OVPR--and worked with the AVP on a long-term reorganization of OSP position descriptions that improved efficiencies, created transparent career paths, and decreased staff turn-over.
Stan is a Certified Research Administrator (CRA). He has presented at numerous National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) national and regional meetings over the years and has served on the Regional NCURA Program Committee. He was also a NCURA Mentor in its “Mentor Me” program. Last, but certainly not least, Stan successfully proposed and was awarded a NCURA Global Fellowship Travel Award in 2019, which improved UMBC research administrative collaborations with our Japanese partners at Kyushu University.
In his personal life, Stan is an active member of the Lutheran Church of St. Andrew, serving as Chair of the Board of Director and Chair of Global Missions, as well as participating in international service to collaborating schools in Namibia and Guatemala. He has also provided mentorship and religious education to the people in his congregation and has used his cooking and BBQ expertise in preparing and making food for select church events. Stan is married with one daughter and one granddaughter, whose pictures he is quick to share. He loves to cook and was once part of a competitive BBQ team, even creating his own “Bubba” BBQ sauce. His smoked salmon and Canadian bacon were always the most sought after gift at the annual OSP holiday gift exchange.
Stan has always brought laughter, fun and, of course, food to his endeavors at UMBC. While we will all miss Stan, please join us in wishing him nothing but happiness as he embarks on his next journey.
Stan’s last day on campus is Friday, October 29, 2021.

Campus Wide Network and Service Outage Earlier this Morning
From approximately 9:40 to 10:40 the campus experienced a widespread service outage that affected most campus systems including login to myUMBC, blackboard, and the campus websites among others. This was the result of an unexpected internal systems failure. Unfortunately, while these systems are all designed to be resilient and have multiple redundancies in place, the system did not failover cleanly, causing this outage.
Our engineers were able to bring the systems back online and restore all services within an hour. We are in the process of doing an in depth investigation of exactly why this failure caused such an outage so we can make any changes needed to prevent future outages.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this morning, and appreciate everyone's patience as we worked to restore these services.
If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please feel free to email me or call me.
