URCAD2016: Social Impact of Air Pollution in China April 27- UC Ballroom | 10a.m.- noon

Come check out Kayla Barrett's poster at URCAD!

In 2015, a TEDtalk-style documentary produced in China entitled “Under the Dome” went viral on the internet, alerting the entire world to the problem of air pollution and the lack of environmental safeguards in place in China. In a modern society, the protection of the environment is vital to the health of the people, not to mention the legitimacy of the government. This research addresses the question of how the government has managed environmental policy, the nature and scope of the health crisis facing Chinese society, and the strategies the Chinese people have taken to cope. To assess the impact of pollution on society, I analyzed government policies, popular media and scholarly reports, focused on air pollution in major cities, especially Beijing. The paper concludes that the Chinese state is continuing to put economic expansion above environmental health and leaving the people to defend themselves from the ever-growing problem.

It's that wonderful time of year again! Spring is here! The birds are flying, the bees are buzzing, and class registration sign up is right around the corner.
So if you're planning on taking a science course, a math course, or ENGL 100 next semester, now would be the time to take your placement test!

You probably took your placement tests when you first came in as a freshman or a transfer student. However, if you never took a Math course in your first year at UMBC or you never took ENGL 100 in your first two years at UMBC, your score might be expired and you'll need to take the test again. (You can find this out when you attempt to register for the course.)

If you need to take a placement test, online placement testing will be available starting March 22, 2015 and we will have testing windows throughout the summer. If you need to sign up, email the ASC with the subject "Placement Test Request" in the headline and we'll tell you everything you need to know!

Parking Passes, 1996 and 2005. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

Previously in UMBC history, traffic and parking related issues were handled by the SGA who appointed a student run Traffic Court. The court met in the basement of Dorm II where it often dealt with reducing and waiving fines from parking violations on the UMBC campus. An article in The Retriever from 1972 details an upset UMBC Chief of Security because the SGA had not yet appointed a new student traffic court, leading to an overflow of 75 parking tickets awaiting action.

This week we present the ASME Ralph Coats Roe Medal that current UMBC president Freeman A. Hrabowski was awarded last year. 


Ralp Coats Roe Medal, 2015. UARC 2015-24, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

In November of 2015, President Hrabowski received the Ralph Coats Roe Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The ASME is a global engineering community of over 130,000 members, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and improvement of life through engineering. President Hrabowski received the medal for "his dedicated service as a global advocate for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), engaging the general public, lawmakers, funding agencies and foundations to create opportunities for minorities in STEM fields that will help ensure their future personal and professional success." 


To see the medal in person and learn more, visit our exhibit in Special Collections Presidents, Past & Present: A Biographical Portrait which explores the lives and leadership of UMBC's five university presidents and chancellors!
