<Title>Coronavirus and Influenza Updates</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>In an effort to keep our community informed, we want to update you on the University’s response to influenza in the State of Maryland as well as the 2019-nCoV coronavirus. The CDC continues to consider the 2019-nCoV coronavirus a serious but not immediate health risk to the general American public. While there are confirmed cases in the United States, the CDC believes that this virus is not currently actively spreading in the United States. There are no confirmed cases in Maryland or within the UMBC community.</span><br><br><span>A workgroup, comprised of representatives from across campus, is meeting regularly to act on the latest information to keep the community safe, healthy, and informed. UMBC continues to implement measures designed to minimize the spread of influenza and reduce the risk of coronavirus in our community. For information on these efforts and updates on campus communications, please visit </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/jhb47d/jdozdbc/jx739w" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">u</a><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/jhb47d/jdozdbc/zp839w" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">hs.umbc.edu/resources/coronavirus</a><span>. The website also includes essential information on preventing influenza and recommendations for individuals with underlying health conditions.</span><br><br><span>We are aware that some in our community may be affected by this outbreak, both with concern for family and colleagues living and working in affected areas, and the effects of elevated travel advisories. If you have questions about travel related to this issue, please contact David Di Maria, associate vice provost for international education, at 410-455-2624. Please also know that the campus community is eager to support you in this difficult time. If you are feeling impacted in any way by these circumstances, and need support or information, we encourage you to reach out to </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/jhb47d/jdozdbc/fi939w" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Health Services</a><span> for support or </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/jhb47d/jdozdbc/vaa49w" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">International Education Services</a><span> to get clarification about any immigration policies or updates, and to share if you have any negative experiences from the way the campus community is responding to the situation.</span><br><br><span>Finally, we would like to remind community members that one of the most effective treatments for influenza and flu-like illness is rest. Given the highly communicable nature of influenza and other similar conditions, for the health of all in our community, we encourage sick individuals to stay home and avoid public places. If you are sick and need assistance, please call </span><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/jhb47d/jdozdbc/b3a49w" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Health Services</a><span> at 410-455-2542.</span><br><br><span><span><em>Bruce Herman, Ph.D., Director, University Health Services and Counseling Center</em></span></span>

<Title>Deaira's Role at Retriever Essentials</Title>
<Tagline>Our Student Ambassador reflects on her service work</Tagline>

    <h5><span><span><em>Deaira Lloyd is a double major studying Anthropology and Sociology and will be receiving her Certificate in the Social Dimensions of Health. She is in the BA/MA program of Applied Sociology and will be graduating this spring.</em></span></span></h5>
    <h5><span><span><br></span>Prior to joining Retriever Essentials, Fariha, the Program Coordinator/CCMA AmeriCorps VISTA, invited me to join the team as a Student Ambassador. Interestingly, around that time, I wanted to become more involved on campus and was reading about various organizations at UMBC. I felt that her initiation was my calling. <br> <br>I was not aware of the duties of the role, the term “food insecurity”, or the number of students at UMBC that suffered from it. After our first meeting last fall, I was intrigued to learn about the term and what I could do to eliminate it throughout college students’ experiences. <br> <br>My role as a Student Ambassador, PRAC Leader, and Food Pantry Manager has awakened me to the little things that add up to a life changing outcome. Initiatives such as the save-a-swipe program, donating non-perishable food items, and the volunteers transporting goods to numerous food zones has taught me the importance of working together to support a greater cause. It’s crucial that students who suffer from food insecurity are able to have a sense of belonging on campus, especially to a group that acknowledges and supports them.<br> <br>Retriever Essentials has taught me that you can always help someone. Sharing a message, a canned good, time, support, anything, is worthy. This experience has made me perceive life more delicately as I witness students coming into the pantry creating their own food bag. You truly never know the struggles that someone is experiencing, and how your service helps them by simply being there. <br>Being able to support a community of students who are in need of nutrition and other necessities is a very gracious, thoughtful, and moving feeling. I’m excited for the continuous expansion and purpose of Retriever Essentials, and I’m thankful for this humbling experience. </span></h5>

<Title>Strategic Enrollment Planning Update</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We continue to make significant progress in our strategic enrollment planning efforts.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The first phase of our planning focused primarily on research related to UMBC’s undergraduate students and included review and assessment of enrollment and student success outcomes. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Our efforts in the planning process then shifted to focus on a current state assessment of graduate enrollment. This included a review of enrollment trends across all master’s, doctoral and post-baccalaureate certificate programs, as well as a review of labor market demand trends. Additionally, we conducted a number of interviews and focus groups with graduate program directors, department chairs, and staff to gather their perspective of opportunity areas related to graduate enrollment at UMBC. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As a next step, we will build off the findings and themes from the first two phases to develop and draft the full Strategic Enrollment Plan, complete with priorities, initiatives, and goals to measure our progress over the life of the Plan. The draft plan will be shared with the community broadly for additional feedback prior to finalizing.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our campus community for their continued support and engagement in this important work. If you would like to learn more about these and other related strategic enrollment planning activities and updates, we encourage you to visit our <a href="https://planning.umbc.edu/strategic-enrollment-planning/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Strategic Enrollment Planning website</a>.</div>
