"Sharing the Past, Building the Future: UMBC at 50" Exhibit Book, 2016. UPUB L3-092. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County! On September 19, 1966, students were welcomed to the new UMBC campus which consisted of only three completed buildings: Academic One, Gym 1, and Lecture Hall One, and had only eighteen areas of study available. Fast forward to today and UMBC has over forty different academic, residential, and student life buildings and offers 48 different majors.
Visit the new exhibition in the Library Gallery, "Sharing the Past, Building the Future: UMBC at 50" to explore some of the many stories of the university's exciting beginning and continuing development through items selected from UMBC's University Archives, including photographs, documents, objects, books, and ephemera!

Kudos to Holly Owens on Her New Advisory Board Appointment
Serving Turning Technologies Higher Education Advisory Board
DoIT would like to recognize its own Holly Owens for her appointment to the Turning Technologies Higher Education Advisory Board where she will be representing UMBC. The group is compiled of 15 representatives from all across the country who get to see previews of upcoming clicker software and have input on product updates for Turning Technologies.
“It’s exciting to have influence on product design…”
Owens will be part of a group that has a direct influence on clickers and recommendations for them to be the best product for end-users. “It’s exciting to have influence on product design and also network with people around the country that I normally wouldn’t get to chat with.” said Owens.
She will also be presenting at Turning’s national conference in Las Vegas this October, where she will be discussing the migration plan UMBC implemented when transitioning from TurningPoint 5 to TurningPoint Cloud this year.
"I'd really like to help develop a clicker community..."
In the long term, Owens wants her new board appointment to help her learn more about product development and also making connections with other clicker users across the country. “I’d really like to help develop a clicker community not just among the board members, but also other clicker users in the nation.” said Owens.
Congratulations to Holly Owens and her new role representing UMBC on the Turning Technologies Advisory Board!

Archives Gold #49: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
An Aerial Photograph of Future UMBC Campus from 1963
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present an aerial photograph from 1963 of the farmland UMBC would later be built upon.
Aerial Photograph of UMBC Property Looking North from Arbutus, 1963. UARC 2007-02. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
The land on which UMBC is currently built was previously owned by the Baltimore Manual Labor School and later Spring Grove Hospital. Superintendent of the labor school, Edmund Stabler, kept the school operational from 1839 to 1922 with the purpose of instructing and supporting poor and orphaned boys from Baltimore City. The boys were taught how to read and were instructed in agriculture or other useful occupations in preparation to earn a living. When Spring Grove Hospital purchased the land after a fire in 1922, they used the farmland for a patient agricultural rehabilitation program.
When plans began for the expansion of the University of Maryland system in the 1940s and 1950s, the state looked to the acreage near Catonsville that included the former Baltimore Manual Labor School, the current Spring Grove Hospital, and additional adjacent tracts of land. After a long process, the Board of Regents approved official plans in the early 1960s and workers began construction on the new University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
