Fellowships for Parental Leave for Graduate Assistants
*NEW* Males & Females, Birth, Adoption, Foster Parenting
In recognition of the challenges of balancing the demands of a graduate assistantship and parenting a new child, UMBC offers Fellowships for Parental Leave to improve the environment for new parents who are Graduate Assistants (GAs). Any GA is eligible to receive a Fellowship for: (1) the birth of a child; (2) the recent adoption of a child under the age of six; or (3) the assumption of other parenting responsibilities (e.g., foster parenting, legal guardianship) of a child under the age of six. Except for birth mothers as described below, the period of the Fellowship is six weeks. During the Fellowship period, the GA retains his or her full stipend and benefits, provides no service to the University, and maintains enrollment as a full-time (9 credits) student in fall and spring semesters.
The University recognizes the need of birth mothers to respond to or to recover from the effects of pregnancy and/or the delivery of a child. If a birth mother believes that she requires a Fellowship period of more than six weeks, she must obtain a letter from her physician or other licensed health-care professional that provides (1) the nature of the need; (2) a statement that the GA cannot return to her duties for health reasons arising from the pregnancy and/or delivery; and (3) the duration of required absence beyond the initial six weeks.
In all instances, the GA should discuss his or her Fellowship plans with his or her GPD and/or supervisor as soon as possible to allow for maximum collegial support. All Fellowship requests must be approved by the Associate Dean of the Graduate School and the GA’s supervisor. Upon request, the Graduate School will reimburse the cost of the GA’s stipend to the supporting department. The form by which to request a Fellowship is located on the Graduate School's website under "GA Forms."
The Graduate School recommends that international students consult in advance with the Office of International Education Services before their period of parental leave.
The substance of the above text will be included in the next version of the Graduate Assistant Handbook as a replacement for "Maternity Leave."

Report within Meeting Minutes of UMBC Senate, 1970. University Senate Records, Folder 16: Minutes March 1970, University Archives, Coll052, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Free hour, the hour of time every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday without scheduled classes, first began on the UMBC campus in the 1970s. A group of UMBC students formed a Student Union, attempting to take more direct action (compared to other organizations like the SGA) in student affairs.
The Student Union had three initial requests of the UMBC Senate. One, to allow students, faculty, and staff to solicit donations from one another in any non-academic area and at any time. Two, for the student activities fee to be abolished (this was the most controversial of the requests) and three, for a free hour of no scheduled classes to be implemented on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Student opinion on free hour ran in both directions. Some appreciated a free period of time to have club meetings or to grab lunch, while others wanted the administration to schedule classes during the hour to allow for a more flexible academic schedule. Though free hour's questionable status would continue throughout the years, it's establishment (due to the efforts of the Student Union) continued on and is still in effect at UMBC to this day, the only University of Maryland System college to have such a thing.
Learn More:
- Are you an undergraduate or graduate student at least 18 years of age?
- Do you have 45 minutes to take a test in the Library?
The Library is looking for students to participate in an assessment project. Students will take an online multiple choice test that assesses information literacy skills. The test must be taken in the Library during the scheduled time.
Upon completion of the test, students will receive a $20 campus card. (Campus cards expire in 100 days).
Participation is limited to 9 students.
12/2/15, 12-1 PM (LIB 259)
Sorry, this session is full and isn't accepting any more names to the wait list.

UMBC students help veterans with PTSD with new app
Computer science students use technology to help vets
UMBC students Damola Adediran ‘17, computer science, and Sarah Kirby ‘16, computer science, were members of a standout team at the 2015 HackDC Hackathon that won top prize in the “Best Mobile Application for Clinicians” category, for their app “myBivy.”
This year’s HackDC Hackathon challenged competitors to build a mobile app to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) deal with insomnia, which is common within this population.
The myBivy app tracks veteran’s heartbeat and movements to detect night terrors, and over time works to help prevent them. The app allows veterans to observe their sleep patterns and to share the data collected overnight with their doctor.
The 36-hour-long Hackathon, held September 25-27, gave teams a chance to work on developing their apps by collaborating with clinicians, veterans, and veterans’ families and friends, who offered feedback on what information the veterans want to track.
Adediran’s job on his team was to communicate with clinicians about how the app would best serve the veterans, and to debug the app throughout the development phase.This was Adediran’s second Hackathon, and he says it was extremely empowering. He describes it as, “something I’ve never experienced before.”
In addition to a cash prize, the team will use funds collected on their Kickstarter page to develop, test and launch the myBivy app by the spring of 2016. For more information about the myBivy app and team, visit the Kickstarter page.

Archives Gold #8: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
An Article and Photograph from UMBC's First Pep Rally
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 article and photograph from UMBC's first pep rally.
The Retriever, Volume 2, Number 12. UPUB R4, University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
UMBC's first pep rally occurred in November of 1967, just a little over a year after the campus first opened. The rally was deemed a success, having brought in "one of the biggest crowds of any school-time event th[at] year" with over five hundred people gathered in the gym to participate (
The Retriever, Volume 2, Number 12: page 4). The UMBC cheerleaders helped to lead the rally and boost the crowd's spirits by introducing the team and the Retriever mascot, then referred to as Sam. Hosting this pep rally was one of the university's early plans to foster a renewed sense of school spirit on campus as well as increase student support at the university's basketball games.
