To carry out these responsibilities, Dr. Shin will work collaboratively with academic units and colleges across UMBC. Reporting to the Provost, Dr. Shin will work with the Council of Vice Presidents and Deans to support project management and communications related to the implementation of UMBC’s strategic plan. She will also strengthen the close partnerships between UMBC and University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), focusing on developing effective research collaborations. </span><br><br><span>For the past two years, Dr. Shin has served as Special Assistant to the Provost for Academic Initiatives. In this role she oversaw a number of special projects (including UMBC’s new faculty awards initiative) and served as co-chair of UMBC’s Advising Task Force. Last year, Dr. Shin was awarded the prestigious American Council on Education Fellowship and served as a fellow in the President’s Office at UMB, where she furthered the development of inter-institutional partnerships between UMBC and UMB, work that she will continue as Associate Provost.</span><br><br><span>Dr. Shin brings to her new role extensive experience in leadership and shared governance. She has served as president of Faculty Senate and played a significant role in institutional planning and assessment as a member of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee and the Middle States Accreditation Steering Committee. Dr. Shin has served as a member of the Provost’s Executive Committee for the Recruitment and Retention of Under-Represented Minority Faculty since its inception in 2010. </span><br><br><span>Dr. Shin joined UMBC in 1999 and is a professor of education and the 2017-2020 Presidential Research Professor. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Michigan and has established an international reputation for scholarship related to bilingualism, heritage language education, and TESOL teacher preparation. </span><br><br><span>UMBC is very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Sarah Shin’s impressive experience and talent to serve as Associate Provost for Academic Affairs. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Shin on her new appointment and supporting her in this important endeavor.</span><br><br><em><span>Provost Philip Rous</span></em></div>

<Title>Update on U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s travel ban decision</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,<br><br><span><span>On Tuesday</span></span>, the U.S. Supreme Court released a <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/vy04ml" title="5-to-4 decision" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">5-to-4 decision</a> upholding the Trump administration’s entry restrictions on nationals of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The travel ban has been in effect since December 4, 2017, and this new ruling rejects any legal challenges. The decision allows for indefinite restrictions on entry of nationals from designated countries.<br><br>We at UMBC remain committed to inclusive excellence and global engagement. As<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/br14ml" title="affirmed by the University System of Maryland" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">affirmed by the University System of Maryland</a>, we will continue to recruit, welcome, and support students, faculty, staff, visiting scholars, and researchers of all national backgrounds. I encourage you to visit the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/rj24ml" title="Diversity and Inclusion website" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Diversity and Inclusion website</a> to learn more about our shared commitment to advancing UMBC’s culture of inclusive excellence.<br><br>Specific travel restrictions vary by country and are subject to categorical exceptions and case-by-case waivers. If you, a friend, or family member is a national of one of the countries subject to the travel ban, I encourage you to learn more about the listed restrictions, exceptions, and waivers by reading the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/7b34ml" title="Presidential Proclamation" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Presidential Proclamation</a> of September 24, 2017 and reviewing the resources listed at the end of this message.<br><br>It is important to note that the decision of the Court does not reflect the recommendations of higher education leaders. The American Council on Education and 32 other higher education associations filed an <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/n434ml" title="amicus brief" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">amicus brief</a> with the Court that outlines how this policy will negatively affect the ability of U.S. colleges and universities to compete for global talent. The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities has stated, “While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president has the authority to implement the existing travel ban, the Court did not rule on whether such a policy is wise.”<br><br>For more information on the travel ban and the recent court ruling, and how they might impact members of the UMBC community, please see our <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/38liqb/nwtbnbb/3w44ml" title="International Education Services website" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">International Education Services website</a>.
