COVID-19 Compliance Updates and Reminders Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to have welcomed many faculty and staff back to campus this month. Thank you to all faculty and staff who have reported their COVID-19 vaccine information. We are pleased that our campus vaccination rate continues to increase. You can view our current rate, as well as our projected rate based on anonymous data, on our public health dashboard, which is updated weekly. Remember that once your vaccine is verified, you are entered into weekly incentive drawings. We have already had two winners: a staff member from the Division of Professional Studies and one of our computer science majors each received 100 food fund points!

It remains imperative that all faculty and staff report their vaccines or request an exemption as soon as possible. Faculty and staff who do not report their vaccine or receive an exemption will face disciplinary action that includes but is not limited to the inability to participate in University travel or telework. 

Last week we provided all of our faculty and staff with their required health and safety measures based on their vaccination status. Individuals who do not have a verified vaccination status must complete daily symptom tracking and must test regularly when they begin visiting campus. Supervisors will receive further instructions on monitoring compliance with these requirements.  

We are closely monitoring the health and safety of our community and appreciate all that you are doing to support us.

Dear Faculty and Staff,

As part of UMBC’s efforts to assist with a smooth fall return to campus for staff, faculty, and graduate assistants (GAs) we have partnered with Care@Work to provide extended options for childcare, eldercare, petcare, and a host of other services. 

Care@Work connects families and caregivers. It offers a flexible platform — available on mobile, desktop, and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Care@Work provides eligible employees (regular staff and faculty, Contingent II staff, and GAs) with tools to help make informed hiring decisions whenever and wherever care needs arise. With UMBC’s free Premium Membership, eligible staff, faculty, and GAs can post a caregiver request and browse through active caregivers on the site, use the Safety Center, receive newsletters filled with tips and advice, and access the wealth of care-related content in the online community. Eligible employees and GAs also have access to view full profiles and reviews, contact caregivers, purchase background checks, subsidized backup care (tiered copay schedule), and tuition discounts at participating childcare centers.

We encourage eligible employees and GAs to visit the UMBC Care at Work website to review program enrollment and available resources. Questions regarding the Care@Work enrollment process should be directed to the HR Benefits Staff at hrbenefits@umbc.edu.

A new academic year is on the horizon, and UMBC students will be back on the campus.  Join us for a drive-in “Share-a-Thon,” to collect healthy, non-perishable foods, toiletries, and select cold-weather gear [hats, gloves, scarves] for students facing financial or housing challenges.  Cash donations [in person or online] are also welcome.  We’ll meet and collect donations at Parking Lot 22 (off Wilkens Avenue and Hilltop Road near the PAHB) on campus.  We look forward to greeting you during the event. 

To donate food, toiletries or fund them remotely, you can place an Amazon Wish LIst order on their website.   Lists of needed items to donate in person can also be identified from the food and toiletries listings in their website, Retriever Essentials

Many of us haven't been on campus in well over a year and in that time it is possible that you have changed your myUMBC password. If you have trouble connecting to eduroam, we encourage you to update your eduroam configuration by first forgetting the wireless network, then adding it again. Please see this FAQ for more information on setting up eduroam.

Eduroam is the preferred wireless network on campus and provides greater access to campus services and the Internet. All traffic is encrypted with WPA2 and once configured on your device, all settings will be automatically saved for future use. Eduroam can be used on computers, smartphones and other mobile devices. 

If you have additional questions or challenges using eduroam, please contact the Technology Support Center.

As we launch our summer new student orientation activities for undergraduate students, we are very excited to welcome the largest first-year class in the University’s history!  We invite you to join us as we engage, connect, and welcome our new students to the UMBC campus community. In particular, we encourage you to: 

Review the Online Orientation Module
This year we are once again hosting the Orientation program through a virtual, online platform. You can experience first-hand how our newest Retrievers are engaging with our campus community. Start by visiting our interactive online modules and selecting “Guest Login.” From there, “Create a New Guest Account” and follow the prompts to gain access to the modules. As a guest you will see content designed for our first year students. We have also built out separate pathways of content for transfer students and our students at the Universities at Shady Grove. 

Explore the Orientation Website
On the Orientation site, you can watch the family orientation session videos, see additional presentation materials, check out the Optional In-Person Orientation Events (small group activities), and read about the “Top Reasons to Get Hyped for UMBC.” 

Celebrate New Students with A Virtual Background
Visit the UMBC Style Guide to download your background welcoming new students.

Participate in Welcome Week and Retriever Fest
We are excited to be offering a more robust and in person Welcome Week for our new students!  Visit the Welcome Week website to get the most up-to-date plans on events or please reach out to welcomeweek@umbc.edu with questions or updates. Departments can reserve a table for Retriever Fest, taking place during new student move-in day on Saturday, August 28, to advertise their programs and services. Please email welcomeweek@umbc.edu if you are interested in reserving a table for this event.

New Student Orientation and Welcome Week are truly collaborative efforts and we would like to thank all of our campus partners for their work in helping to arrange such an informative and engaging experience. If students you are working with have questions about their enrollment for the Fall, please feel free to reach out to Gina King, Associate Director, Recruitment, Events, and Orientation, at gking@umbc.edu. For questions about Welcome Week activities, please contact Jen Dress, Associate Director, Campus Life, at dress@umbc.edu.

Thank you for all you do to welcome our new students.

Starting on July 25th, an extra step will be added to the myUMBC login experience. When logging in to myUMBC you will be prompted to select a login provider before providing your login information. This change is part of ongoing updates to our login infrastructure.

For most people, you will select UMBC and then be prompted to enter your login information. Family and visitors with special access will continue to use the Facebook and Google login options.

Groundwork for Future Updates

This change will be part of several changes to UMBC’s login infrastructure over the next year to allow us to stay on top of evolving security standards and new technologies. Many of these changes will be invisible, but there will be some more significant changes to the login experience that we will notify you of as they approach.
