Fall 2018 Convocation
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
We look forward to your participation in our Fall 2018 Convocation on Tuesday, August 28 at 3:30 p.m. in the UMBC Event Center.
Convocation is a special opportunity for faculty and staff to welcome new students to the UMBC community. If you are interested in participating this year, please take a moment to RSVP through our Online Convocation Form. The information you provide will assist us in event planning logistics and appropriate seating arrangements.
Marching in the procession requires academic regalia, which UMBC will subsidize the rental of for faculty and staff if needed. Regalia can be ordered now through August 10, 2018. Regalia ordered after August 3, however, will incur an expedited shipping fee to ensure timely delivery.
Following the Convocation ceremony, we will host a community-wide picnic on The Commons North Lawn. This is an excellent opportunity for faculty and staff to meet our incoming class, and I welcome everyone on campus to attend.
Thank you, and we look forward to your participation.
Philip Rous, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Sarah J. Shin as Associate Provost for Academic Affairs effective August 1, 2018.
As Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, Dr. Shin will advance UMBC’s mission by working with the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs in matters related to academic program reviews and new program development. To carry out these responsibilities, Dr. Shin will work collaboratively with academic units and colleges across UMBC. Reporting to the Provost, Dr. Shin will work with the Council of Vice Presidents and Deans to support project management and communications related to the implementation of UMBC’s strategic plan. She will also strengthen the close partnerships between UMBC and University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), focusing on developing effective research collaborations.
For the past two years, Dr. Shin has served as Special Assistant to the Provost for Academic Initiatives. In this role she oversaw a number of special projects (including UMBC’s new faculty awards initiative) and served as co-chair of UMBC’s Advising Task Force. Last year, Dr. Shin was awarded the prestigious American Council on Education Fellowship and served as a fellow in the President’s Office at UMB, where she furthered the development of inter-institutional partnerships between UMBC and UMB, work that she will continue as Associate Provost.
Dr. Shin brings to her new role extensive experience in leadership and shared governance. She has served as president of Faculty Senate and played a significant role in institutional planning and assessment as a member of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee and the Middle States Accreditation Steering Committee. Dr. Shin has served as a member of the Provost’s Executive Committee for the Recruitment and Retention of Under-Represented Minority Faculty since its inception in 2010.
Dr. Shin joined UMBC in 1999 and is a professor of education and the 2017-2020 Presidential Research Professor.

Update on U.S. Supreme Court’s travel ban decision
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court released a 5-to-4 decision upholding the Trump administration’s entry restrictions on nationals of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The travel ban has been in effect since December 4, 2017, and this new ruling rejects any legal challenges. The decision allows for indefinite restrictions on entry of nationals from designated countries.
We at UMBC remain committed to inclusive excellence and global engagement. Asaffirmed by the University System of Maryland, we will continue to recruit, welcome, and support students, faculty, staff, visiting scholars, and researchers of all national backgrounds. I encourage you to visit the UMBC Diversity and Inclusion website to learn more about our shared commitment to advancing UMBC’s culture of inclusive excellence.
Specific travel restrictions vary by country and are subject to categorical exceptions and case-by-case waivers. If you, a friend, or family member is a national of one of the countries subject to the travel ban, I encourage you to learn more about the listed restrictions, exceptions, and waivers by reading the Presidential Proclamation of September 24, 2017 and reviewing the resources listed at the end of this message.
It is important to note that the decision of the Court does not reflect the recommendations of higher education leaders. The American Council on Education and 32 other higher education associations filed an amicus brief with the Court that outlines how this policy will negatively affect the ability of U.S. colleges and universities to compete for global talent. The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities has stated, “While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president has the authority to implement the existing travel ban, the Court did not rule on whether such a policy is wise.”
For more information on the travel ban and the recent court ruling, and how they might impact members of the UMBC community, please see our International Education Services website. Additional guidance can be found through the NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
David Di Maria, Associate Vice Provost for International Education

Welcoming a new chief of staff
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
Please join me in welcoming Candace Dodson-Reed as chief of staff in UMBC’s Office of the President.
Ms. Dodson-Reed has deep connections to our UMBC community, and currently serves as assistant vice president of communications and public affairs. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English from UMBC and master’s degree in executive leadership from Georgetown University- McDonough School of Business.
Prior to returning to UMBC in 2016 to serve in our Office of Institutional Advancement, Ms. Dodson-Reed served as vice president of the Greater Baltimore Committee (2015 – 16) and in key leadership roles in the Howard County government (2007 – 14), including as deputy chief of staff to the county executive. She has been recognized throughout the region for her leadership and service.
As we look forward to welcoming Ms. Dodson-Reed to her new role on July 2, I also want to thank Elyse Ashburn for a phenomenal five years of service as chief of staff.
Ms. Ashburn came to UMBC in 2011 from a career in journalism, and she served in the Office of Institutional Advancement before transitioning to the president’s office. We are so appreciative of her dedication and expertise, through both challenging and exciting moments for our university. UMBC has benefited greatly from her leadership, and we wish her all the best.
President Freeman Hrabowski

Chief of Police Mark Sparks Announces Retirement
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
After 38 years of service in law enforcement and public safety, Chief of Police Mark Sparks has announced he will retire from UMBC, effective June 30, 2018. Please join us in celebrating his career and outstanding service to the UMBC community at a reception on June 29, 3-5 p.m., in the Commons Skylight Room. Light refreshments will be available. If you would like to contribute towards a gift, please contact Paul Dillon, pdillon@umbc.edu.
Over the past eight years as Chief of Police, Chief Sparks has contributed to the UMBC community in many ways. He has led important projects, including parking expansion and emergency preparedness training and has restructured the department's rules and procedures to implement modern police practices. In 2016, under his leadership, UMBC police was nationally recognized for the quality of its personnel policies, processes, and procedures—the department's first accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Chief Sparks has also supported several critical campus- and system-wide initiatives as an advisor and expert, including serving on UMBC's smoke-free campus task force, 50th Anniversary Committee, and Neighbor Relations Group and representing the university on USM's Chief of Police Council. Prior to joining UMBC in 2010, Chief Sparks held several positions of increasing responsibility at the University of Maryland, College Park, including interim Chief of Police.
I am very pleased to announce that Deputy Chief of Police Paul Dillon has accepted the appointment of Chief of Police, following Mark Sparks' retirement at the end of the month. Deputy Chief Dillon will be responsible for leading campus police and parking services. He has more than 30 years of experience in law enforcement, eight with UMBC. In this role, he has applied his knowledge and expertise to ensure a safe and secure environment for the campus community and has been instrumental in many key public safety initiatives at UMBC. This includes implementing the campus text alert system, developing customized training formats for emergency preparedness, and supporting Facilities Management and campus leadership on many high-profile construction projects.
Please join me in expressing our gratitude for all Mark Sparks has done for UMBC and in congratulating and supporting Paul Dillon in his new role as Chief of Police.
Lynne Schaefer, Vice President for Administration and Finance

Stationery and business card orders
We are in the process of developing a new brand and accompanying graphics for the University, which we will be sharing with the campus during the fall semester.
Knowing that many offices and departments order letterhead for the coming academic year at this time, we wanted to recommend you place orders for quantities that will last though January 2019, when we plan to launch a new set of graphic standards. Please also keep this in mind when ordering business cards.
More information about how the graphics will affect other aspects of communications will be forthcoming in the fall, when we'll provide toolkits and hold training and feedback sessions.

Dr. Dana Bradley Appointed Dean of The Erickson School
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Dana Bradley as Dean of The Erickson School. Dr. Bradley will begin her new role in August 2018.
Dr. Bradley’s appointment brings to a successful conclusion a national search that began earlier this year. On behalf of the entire campus community, I would like to express my gratitude for the hard work and commitment of all members of the search committee, chaired by Dr. Antonio Moreira. The committee's wise counsel and thoughtful participation in the search process represents an outstanding contribution to the future of the School and to the advancement of our UMBC community.
Dr. Bradley will join UMBC from Western Kentucky University where she has been director of the Center for Gerontology since 2005. Dr. Bradley has also held several positions of increasing responsibility during her tenure with the university. Dr. Bradley brings with her extensive experience in gerontology and is widely known for her academic contributions, particularly in the area of education and policy studies. As director of the center, she was responsible for strategic initiatives related to education, research, and service and has led several state policy projects aimed at enhancing opportunities and services for aging citizens and their families. Dr. Bradley is a founding member of the Global Aging Research Network and was elected Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America and the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE). She has received many prestigious regional and national awards, including being named a Gordon Streib Academic Gerontologist awardee by the Southern Gerontological Society and recognized with the Distinguished Faculty Award by the AGHE for her exemplary teaching.
As Dean of The Erickson School, Dr. Bradley will lead existing and new projects and initiatives that position the school as a national model for promoting developmental, strength-based models of service and care for elders through its integrative curricula, research collaborations, thought leadership, and community engagement. "Being invited to lead the Erickson School is a tremendous honor," says Dr. Bradley. "It is an amazing time to be in the field of aging and to build upon the extensive successes of the Erickson School. We are living in an era of increasing longevity which brings tremendous opportunities for our students, UMBC scholars, and our community. I look forward to increasing collaboration across our campus and communities to improve society for older adults and their families."
Dr. Bradley received her B.A. in biology and history from the University of Rochester and her M.S. and Ph.D. in applied history and public policy from Carnegie-Mellon University.
UMBC is very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Bradley’s impressive experience, abilities, and talent to serve as dean of The Erickson School. Please join me in welcoming and supporting Dr. Bradley as she transitions into her new role at UMBC.
Provost Philip Rous

Supporting our community following flash floods
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
We are deeply saddened by the devastation that recent flash flooding has caused in our community—in Catonsville, Arbutus, Ellicott City, and other areas across Baltimore County, Howard County, and Baltimore City. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of National Guard Sgt. Eddison Hermond, who lost his life in the flooding, and all who have suffered losses.
Many members of our university community live, work, and frequent businesses in the affected areas. UMBC is committed to supporting the local community through recovery efforts, sharing knowledge and resources to help with cleanup and, we hope, to reduce future flood risk.
Residents who are seeking support or would like to offer support to others can visitHoward County and Baltimore County government websites. Also, the Howard County Community Relief Fund, Ellicott City Partnership, and American Red Cross Greater Chesapeake Region are currently accepting donations.
Tragedies impact community members in different ways. Please remember that support resources are available, both through UMBC and beyond: President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous
