    <span>Dear Colleagues,</span><br><br><span>The completion of UMBC’s annual promotion and tenure process provides us with an opportunity to recognize members of our community who have been promoted in rank based on the excellence they have demonstrated. This rigorous review process serves to uphold our ideals as a scholarly community focused on supporting our students, advancing knowledge, and serving the broader community. Individuals who are promoted have demonstrated wide-ranging commitment to our mission as a research university while reaching significant milestones in their roles as teachers, scholars, and mentors.</span><br><br><span>This year, we recognize the success of 47 colleagues: teachers and mentors who have found new ways to reach and inspire students; scholars committed to deepening our understanding of humanity and the natural world that surrounds us; and those whose work advances community-engaged scholarship and learning. Like all members of the UMBC community, these individuals have responded to challenging circumstances with grit, creativity, and compassion. Their example inspires us and offers hope.</span><br><br><span>Please join us in congratulating our colleagues selected this spring for promotion or tenure.</span><br><br><strong>Promoted to Rank of Senior Lecturer</strong><br><span>Eric Abele</span><br><span>Elisabeth Arevalo-Guerrero</span><br><span>Melissa Blair</span><br><span>Elizabeth Feeser</span><br><span>Jennifer Hughes</span><br><span>Greggory Schraven</span><br><span>Tracy Smith</span><br><br><strong>Promoted to Rank of Principal Lecturer</strong><br><span>Diane Alonso</span><br><span>Steven Caruso</span><br><span>Kate Drabinski</span><br><span>Samir El Omari</span><br><span>Carol Fitzpatrick</span><br><span>Tiffany Gierasch</span><br><span>Sarah Leupen</span><br><span>Eileen O'Brien</span><br><span>Sally Shivnan</span><br><span>Donald Snyder</span><br><span>Brigid Starkey</span><br><span>Susanne Sutton</span><br><span>Alan Wonneberger</span><br><br><strong>Promoted to the Rank of Associate Professor with Tenure</strong><br><span>Salem Abo-Zaid</span><br><span>Erin Green</span><br><span>Karuna Joshi</span><br><span>Seung-Jun Kim</span><br><span>Nancy Kusmaul</span><br><span>Michael Lane</span><br><span>Michael Jerome Nance</span><br><span>Shimei Pan</span><br><span>Corrie Parks</span><br><span>Whitney Schwab</span><br><span>Dena Smith<br></span><div>

<Title>USM Statement on Injustice</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><span>Dear UMBC Community,</span><br><br><span>We want to share with our campus this </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/fan5te/jdozdbc/r70nbz" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">statement</a><span> released today by the leadership of the University System of Maryland on deeply disturbing events that remind us of the structural racism that underlies our society. UMBC is proud to join our USM colleagues in this statement.</span><br><br><span>In addition to these acts of violence, the current pandemic has exacerbated many other systemic inequalities that persist in our society. Low-income families and communities of color are disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 virus and also face barriers to treatment and prevention resources. As the financial aspect of this crisis deepens, these families also struggle more than other groups with economic disenfranchisement, including job loss and resource scarcity.</span><br><br><span>As we reflect on current events, we deeply appreciate our UMBC community and its commitment to inclusive excellence. We also understand that this commitment requires all of us to do more to confront injustice in the world. We know that many in our communities are struggling right now. Even if we cannot be physically together to process this loss and the challenges that seem to surround us, we believe that our UMBC is uniquely situated to address these issues -- together. </span><br><br><span>If you feel you have been affected by racism or discrimination, please know that the </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/fan5te/jdozdbc/7z1nbz" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Office of Equity and Inclusion</a><span> is available to support you.

Instead, these alternative practices prepare students to be empowered contributors in all of their communities, including their higher education institutions, neighborhoods, and places of work.” </span></p>
    <p><span>The article describes the unconventional approach to civic learning and democratic engagement Romy, David, and Craig Berger (former UMBC Coordinator for Campus and Civic Engagement) incubated at UMBC: “With support from UMBC’s senior administrative leadership, the three of them had worked with students, faculty, and staff colleagues to develop and lead BreakingGround, an initiative that used grants funded by the Provost’s Office to support the creation of innovative courses and community programs. The philosophy of civic engagement embodied in this approach located democracy and community in everyday settings, not only in government, elections, and off-campus service projects.”</span></p></span><span><div><span><br></span></div></span>
