Dr. Robert Deluty Publishes his 62nd Book
Dr.
Robert Deluty, associate dean emeritus of the Graduate School, has
published a new book, "Paying Heed." In his review, Dr. Ronald Pies
writes, “In his latest sparkling collection of short poems, Robert
Deluty heeds all his senses, especially his sense of humor. His
trademark love of wordplay and irony are everywhere to be found, but the
reader also finds many poems capturing what writer Diane Ackerman calls
‘complexly appealing moments.’ Thus, we find ‘counting the times/ the
young prof responds in class/ Great question!’ and ‘counting the times/ the old prof utters in class/ Where were we?’
Few poets are better than Robert Deluty at crystallizing life's complex
mix of the comic, the tragic, and the uproarious. Reader, pay heed!”
And in his appraisal of the book, Dr. George Northrup notes, “Anyone acquainted with Robert Deluty’s ongoing renovation of traditional haiku forms will welcome Paying Heed as
an invitation to lively entertainment in his vast yet familiar stomping
ground, where favorite subjects—children, college professors and
students, relatives, and diverse ethnic groups—display their humor as
they grapple with insight into life’s large and small concerns. From one
smile to the next, the reader has opportunities on every page to be
grateful that Deluty’s creative sparks are still flying—wryly
illuminating love, atonement, psychotherapy, sports, and those aching
questions about whether cats feel guilty, doctors have a profession in
heaven, and the true cause of Socrates’ death. Here and there a rare
appearance of life in its tragic form startles our awareness, all the
more compelling for being embedded in an expectation of joviality and
driving home the wise epigraph by Michael Scott wistfully reminding us
to heed our senses. If you are not familiar with his work, you have
much delightful catching up to do.”

SREB Webinars on Achieving Tenure & Faculty Diversity
2 part series for aspiring faculty
Graduate students and postdocs interested in becoming faculty are welcome to participate in these free upcoming webinars from the Southern Regional Education Board, an organization committed to diversifying faculty (and making the academy a place scholars from underrepresented backgrounds want to be!).
Join the SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program for our two-part webinar series on the topic of Tenure:
Part 1 - Achieving Tenure: Advice for Early Career Faculty
Tuesday, August 3, 2021 at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Part 2 - Tenure and Faculty Diversity
Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Diversifying the professoriate has long been voiced as a priority on many campuses, and goals around faculty diversity have become increasingly emphasized over the past year in light of the national conversation about race. However, most higher education institutions have not significantly increased the diversity of the faculty, particularly the diversity of their tenured faculty. For early career faculty of color, especially those who are first-generation students, navigating the tenure process can be complex and perplexing.
In Part 1 of our Tenure webinar series, SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program alumni panelists will walk through the basics of the tenure and promotion process, answer common questions, and provide insights based on their own experiences.
In Part 2 of our Tenure webinar series, SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program alumni panelists will discuss the relationship between tenure and faculty diversity, highlighting the current national discussion about high profile tenure cases.
The webinars will also reference the following:

Update on new CDC guidance and masking at UMBC
Dear UMBC Community,
Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated guidance on masking that calls for indoor masking under certain conditions. At this time, the CDC has classified Maryland as an area with only moderate transmission given its high vaccination rates and low positivity rate (just over 2%). While at this time the CDC guidelines would not suggest a new mask mandate for Maryland, we know that state and local officials are closely monitoring and assessing the situation.
We wish to remind our community that masking continues to be required indoors at UMBC. While we are cautiously optimistic that high vaccination rates and low positivity rates may make it possible to lift this requirement for vaccinated and verified community members before the start of the semester, we are not ready to make this decision at this time.
We are currently reviewing the new guidance and available research. We are also reaching out to state and local government partners and the University System of Maryland to understand how their guidance is evolving. We will share our recommended next steps with the community in the near future.
It is essential that all in our community report their vaccinations as soon as possible. We recently informed students that the deadline for commuting students to report is August 20. Residential students received an earlier deadline to ensure they could move in. You can view our vaccination rate on our public health dashboard. Remember that once your vaccine is verified, you are entered into weekly incentive drawings.
Thank you for your patience and commitment to keeping UMBC safe and healthy.

Vice President for Administration and Finance Lynne Schaefer
