The Rise of Digital Signage at UMBC
How you can get a digital display for your department
You walk by them daily, but have you ever wondered what the software behind the digital signs around UMBC is and how your department can get one of them for their own use?
Introducing Rise Vision, a low-cost digital signage software UMBC uses to display anything from google spreadsheets to full blown videos. It’s easy to learn and your department can greatly benefit from having one. If you currently have digital signage, Rise Vision can be a fraction of the cost of typical signage.
Currently, there are over 40 displays active on campus, all from different departments. Everywhere from the Biology building to the Columbus Center and the Library all have Rise powering their displays.
Rise Vision is entirely web based interface, so you can do it on your laptop, smartphone, and even work on it from home to update your display. You can even set Rise Vision to allow for others to control it.
Your content can be as simple as a professor list with their room numbers or whole video presentations complete with all sorts of video transitions. You can even do a combination of both as Rise Vision is flexible enough to tailor what content you want to display. If you need to update any content, you can just go into the file itself without needing to update through Rise Vision as it integrates with services like Google Drive.
DoIT will support with the setup and infrastructure, and recommendation of implementation with your department. Once everything is setup and necessary training is complete, DoIT will turn it over to your department so you can begin to manage your own content.
If your department is interested in Rise Vision, contact David Toothe of DoIT for more information.

Parking has been a common complaint at UMBC since the campus was first opened in 1966. Early issues of The Retriever describe similar parking problems to what students face today: a lack of parking space, frequent parking tickets, and congested traffic. One of the most frequent complaints by students was about the limited amount of white spaces (those reserved for students) and seemingly abundant amount of yellow spaces (those reserved for faculty). By 1976, parking spaces of any kind were hard to come by, with an open letter in The Retriever stating that there were a mere 3,500 spaces available for over 6,500 cars registered.

Archives Gold #17: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
The First Issue of UMBC's Student Newspaper
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 the very first publication of The Retriever (then known as UMBC News) in 1966.
UMBC News, Volume 1, Number 1, September 19, 1966. UPUB- R4 University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
The first issue of UMBC's student newspaper was published on September 19, 1966, the first day of classes for the new UMBC university. First known as UMBC News, the newspaper's name would later change to include the school's mascot, the Retriever, becoming known as The Retriever Weekly, and later, simply The Retriever. The first issue of UMBC's newspaper contained many of the early activities and traditions of UMBC. Articles featured such things like the history of the UMBC site, the first social event of the university (an informal dance in the cafeteria), the initiation of a Student Government Association, the search for the school's mascot, and a spotlight on the campus' new faculty.
Since its first issue, the UMBC newspaper has continued to publish issues each year, having only stopped once in 1970 for a short span of time due to conflicts with the SGA and difficulties with funding.

CDC Media Statement (Jan. 26, 2016):
"CDC is working with other public
health officials to monitor for ongoing Zika virus transmission. Today, CDC
added the following destinations to the Zika virus travel alerts: United States Virgin Islands and
Dominican Republic. Previously, CDC issued a travel alert
(Level 2-Practice Enhanced Precautions) for
people traveling to regions and certain countries where Zika virus transmission
is ongoing: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory; Barbados;
Bolivia; Brazil; Cape Verde; Colombia; Ecuador; El Salvador; French Guiana;
Guadeloupe; Guatemala; Guyana; Haiti; Honduras; Martinique; Mexico; Panama;
Paraguay; Saint Martin; Samoa; Suriname; and Venezuela. Specific areas
where Zika virus transmission is ongoing are often difficult to determine and
are likely to continue to change over time.
As more information becomes available, CDC travel alerts will be updated. Travelers to areas
where cases of Zika virus infection have been recently confirmed are at risk of
being infected with the Zika virus. Mosquitoes that spread Zika are aggressive
daytime biters, prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors near
people. There is no vaccine or medicine available for Zika virus. The best way
to avoid Zika virus infection is to prevent mosquito bites.
Some travelers to areas with ongoing Zika
virus transmission will become infected while traveling but will not become
sick until they return home. Some people who are infected do not have any
symptoms. Symptoms include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. Other
commonly reported symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The illness is
usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Severe disease
requiring hospitalization is uncommon and case fatality is low. Travelers to these
areas should monitor for symptoms or illness upon return. If they
become ill, they should tell their healthcare professional where they have
traveled and when."
