Preparing for Hurricane Florence
Members of the UMBC Community:
Hurricane Florence is steadily approaching the East Coast. Current models predict it will make landfall in the Carolinas late Thursday or early Friday. While the chance of tropical-storm-force winds in the Baltimore area is low, with the storm track projected to potentially move toward the south and west, storm paths can change and flooding remains a concern.
UMBC Police is receiving updates from our weather service, the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, and the Maryland State Police, and the campus Emergency Operations Center is ready to be activated if the need arises. Please sign up for UMBC Emergency Text Alerts for the latest campus updates.
Although major hurricane impacts in our area are unlikely based on current predictions, we encourage UMBC community members to have a hurricane preparedness plan in case anything changes. Florence has the potential to be the strongest storm ever recorded to make landfall this far north on the U.S. coast, so for your safety, please take it seriously. The most up-to-date information on the storm’s progress is available at NOAA’s National Hurricane Center website.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the UMBC Police at 410-455-5555.
Paul Dillon, UMBC Chief of Police

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am delighted to announce that earlier this summer Martina Buckley joined the Office of the Provost as Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff.
As Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff, Ms. Buckley serves in a critical leadership role within Academic Affairs. She serves as an advisor to the Provost and provides executive support for academic affairs financial operations and planning, strategic planning and implementation, and project management for the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs. She is also responsible for personnel functions, development and administration of policies and programs in the Office of the Provost, and oversight of the Academic Affairs Other Units (AAOU) Shared Services Center. She will work collaboratively with central administrative offices, academic units, and colleges across UMBC, and participate in university wide planning initiatives.
Ms. Buckley brings to the UMBC community her extensive experience driving best accounting and auditing practices across a wide spectrum of industries, including higher education, not-for-profit, and professional services. She has presented at several industry conferences and has a record of publications in industry journals.
Ms. Buckley joined us from Baker Tilly, an accounting and professional services firm, in the Higher Education Practice where she provided risk, internal audit, advisory, and consulting services to higher education institutions across the country. Previously she was employed at Fresno State University, the University of Kentucky, and Ohio University where she oversaw the daily operations of business offices, directed business and administrative functions, including accounting, budgeting, and revenue/expense forecasting, managed long-term strategic budget planning, directed HR functions, ensured compliance with administrative policies and procedures, coordinated internal projects and special events, implemented internal controls, and oversaw internal/external audits.
She holds a Master of Education from Belmont University and is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA).
UMBC is very fortunate to have someone of Martina Buckley’s impressive experience and talent to serve in this capacity. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Buckley on her new position, welcoming her to UMBC, and supporting her in this important endeavor.
Provost Philip Rous

In the coming days you will be receiving an email with a link to the online survey. The survey is conducted by an independent research company in collaboration with The Baltimore Sun and should take about five minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential; however, certain members of the UMBC community will have access to the optional written comments on the survey. If you wish to remain completely anonymous, please do not submit any optional written comments that could identify you individually.
Additionally, please note:
- If you accidentally delete the survey email, you will receive a reminder email a few days later.
- Do not forward the survey email to a colleague. Each email has a unique code to prevent multiple responses.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please reply to the survey email.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. We appreciate your honest feedback.
Valerie Thomas, Associate Vice President for Human Resources

Virtual parking permits now available
Virtual parking permits are now available for all parking across campus.
All employees who purchased their permits through payroll deduction last year have been automatically migrated to the new system, so no further action is needed at this time. However, we ask that you still verify your vehicle information on your account to ensure it is correct and the most up-to-date.
You can use the UMBC Parking Services Portal to add vehicles to your account or purchase Daily Virtual Permits. New employees who wish to purchase parking permits through payroll deduction are required to visit the Parking Services office to complete a one-time payroll deduction form. Forms must be completed no later than Tuesday, August 28.
The new permit system will go into effect at the start of the fall semester. As a reminder, the last day for summer crossover parking is Tuesday, August 28.
To learn more about the new parking system, please read our Virtual Permits FAQ. For additional questions, or if you experience any issues, contact us directly at parking@umbc.edu.

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am delighted to announce the appointment of alumna Dr. Annica Wayman as Associate Dean for Shady Grove Affairs in CNMS, effective immediately.

Dr. Wayman will also strengthen the relationships with our community college partners, while building UMBC’s presence and portfolio at USG.

Remembering Dr. Lowell Groninger
Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychology
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
Dr. Lowell Groninger, Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychology, passed away on July 14.
Lowell completed his B.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Illinois before joining the UMBC faculty in 1968. An expert in cognitive and experimental psychology, Lowell completed important studies on the use of imagery as a mnemonic device, the influence of autobiographical reference in memories, and memory for faces and names. Lowell also collaborated on the development and standardization of neuropsychological assessment instruments, including the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. After 43 years of dedicated service, Lowell retired from the UMBC Psychology Department in 2011, and continued to teach Cognitive Psychology on a part-time basis for a number of years after that.
Colleagues remember Lowell as a remarkably kind, thoughtful, sensitive, and generous colleague whose indomitable spirit and levelheadedness were crucially important to the development of the department. Lowell possessed an infectious sense of humor, abundant wisdom, and deep integrity.
Christopher Murphy, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology
