Staffing Changes in International Education Services
The Office of International Education Services (IES) wishes to inform the campus community of recent staffing changes related to study abroad. After seventeen years of outstanding service to UMBC, Dr. Brian Souders, Associate Director of International Education Services, retired from his position on April 30, 2018. In late June, Dr. Souders will return to UMBC on a contractual basis to assist students through the Fulbright application and selection process. Caylie Zidwick, Assistant Director of Study Abroad, will serve as the primary point of contact for study abroad while IES develops a long-term strategy over the course of the fall semester.
During this time of transition, study abroad inquiries should be directed as follows:
- Advising for Study Abroad: Individual and group advising for all students interested in study abroad programs. Advising is available on a weekly basis and covers the basics of study abroad, including the types of programs available, costs, credit transfer, and the application process. IES staff are also available to provide brief presentations to classes and student organizations upon request. Contact Rachel McCloud, mccloud1@umbc.edu.
- Curriculum Integration of Study Abroad: Support to UMBC faculty wishing to infuse international content into the curriculum. This includes assisting faculty to identify which of UMBC’s available study abroad programs best align with faculty goals for student learning, program duration, location and affordability. Contact Caylie Zidwick, Cayz1@umbc.edu.
- Faculty-led Study Abroad Programs: Information for faculty on how to develop and facilitate a short-term study abroad program. Contact Caylie Zidwick, Cayz1@umbc.edu.
- General Study Abroad Inquiries: Requests for general information regarding study abroad options for students. Contact Rachel McCloud, mccloud1@umbc.edu.
- International Health, Safety and Security: Current information related to health, safety and security concerns in specific locations. Assistance with risk assessment, mitigation and contingency planning. Contact Dr. David L. Di Maria, dimaria@umbc.edu.
- International Exchange Programs: Year and Semester-long exchange programs. Students can study at partner universities in more than 50 countries while pursuing a degree at UMBC. Contact Caylie Zidwick, Cayz1@umbc.edu.
- International Travel Insurance: UMBC students, faculty and staff planning to travel abroad are encouraged to enroll in an affordable supplemental international travel insurance policy available through IES. Contact Rachel McCloud mccloud1@umbc.edu.
- International Program Development: Support to UMBC faculty, departments, and colleges in developing new international initiatives, including affiliations with institutions abroad, proposal preparation and funding opportunities. Contact Dr. David L. Di Maria, dimaria@umbc.edu.
Feel free to reach out to the study abroad team at
sao@umbc.edu with any questions.
I am writing to inform you that, after nearly a decade of outstanding service to our community, Ben Lowenthal, Associate Vice President for Financial Services, will be leaving UMBC to take up a new position as Vice President for Administration and Finance at Towson University. While his service and leadership at UMBC will be missed, Mr. Lowenthal’s new position represents a well-deserved professional opportunity, and I know you will join me in wishing him well in his new endeavor.
As UMBC’s Associate Vice President for Financial Services, Mr. Lowenthal built a strong leadership team and led the creation of a more collaborative and customer-oriented culture in UMBC’s Financial Services, including improving business processes, technology, and services. Working with colleagues across the university, he helped to developed high-functioning shared services centers in several colleges and divisions and created a strong financial literacy program that provides support to students and other members of the campus community.
He has used his knowledge of technology and finance to develop additional financial reporting and analysis tools, including the REX Finance reporting tool and the Whitebirch multi-year forecasting reporting and analysis tool. Mr. Lowenthal was instrumental in creating UMBC's Business Administrators group, which meets each semester to discuss developments in administrative and financial areas on campus.
Prior to joining UMBC, Mr. Lowenthal held leadership positions at three other University System of Maryland campuses.
On behalf of the entire UMBC community, I would like to thank Mr. Lowenthal for his significant contributions to UMBC over the years.
Lynne Schaefer, Vice President for Administration & Finance

On the passing of County Executive Kamenetz
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
The UMBC community was deeply saddened this morning to hear of the sudden passing of Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. We extend heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.
County Executive Kamenetz made significant contributions to our region and the state during his long public service career. We are grateful for his commitment to supporting UMBC.
Condolences may be sent to the Historic Courthouse, 400 Washington Avenue, Towson, Maryland, 21204.
The county executive was scheduled to appear tonight at a gubernatorial candidate forum organized by the UMBC College Democrats, a student organization. That event will be rescheduled. Instead, the group will gather for a moment of reflection on County Executive Kamenetz’s public service career at 7 p.m. in UMBC’s University Center Ballroom. They have invited the campus community to attend as well.
President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

Remembering Dr. Cedric Herring
Dr. Cedric Herring, Professor and Director of the Language, Literacy, and Culture (LLC) doctoral program, passed away on April 22, 2018. All of us who knew him—his colleagues in LLC and across the university and his students—are deeply saddened by this loss for the UMBC community and for the multiple communities of scholars Dr. Herring inhabited.
Our deepest condolences are with Dr. Herring’s family, especially his wife and our colleague Dr. Loren Henderson, and his children. Dr. Herring was with us far too briefly, but his scholarship and his voice will continue to guide and motivate our unfinished work for many years to come.
Dr. Herring joined UMBC in 2014 as an established leader in the field of sociology. After earning his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, he began his academic career at Texas A&M University. In 1990 he joined the department of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. He was founding director of UIC’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and of the University of Illinois’s Race and Public Policy program. Over three decades, he published eight books, more than 70 articles and book chapters, and more than 15 monographs and policy reports, as well as numerous book reviews and editorial essays. He also was a principal investigator or scholar on grants totaling more than $2.2 million. He received many prestigious awards and fellowships from the Joyce Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation, among others.
Dr. Herring served as president of the Association of Black Sociologists in 1994-1995. At UMBC, he became director of the Language, Literacy, and Culture program in 2015, served on the faculty senate, and chaired the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Black Faculty Committee. He and Dr. Henderson, assistant professor, Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration and Policy, also won a Hrabowski Innovation Fund award for “The Baltimore Metropolitan Area Study on Race, Inequality, and the City.” Students and colleagues in the LLC program knew him as a generous mentor who cared deeply about building community within the program and across the university, as he did in every setting.
Dr. Herring’s research has been essential to UMBC’s striving for inclusive excellence, especially in hiring a more diverse faculty and challenging institutional culture. His most recent book, Diversity in Organizations: A Critical Examination (2014, co-authored with Dr. Henderson) provides quantitative and qualitative evidence that a diverse workplace brings tangible benefits to organizations, including universities. In a series of related articles in scholarly journals, Dr. Herring and Dr. Henderson demonstrate that the same conclusions apply to university departments in diverse disciplines. Equally important, the research and related articles argue that “critical diversity” requires more than inclusive hiring practices and outcomes and that true change occurs only when organizations look within themselves to challenge the internal practices and norms that perpetuate inequality, oppression, and stratification.
Dr. Herring’s scholarship has been at the core of UMBC’s STRIDE program (Strategies and Tactics for Recruiting to Improve Diversity and Excellence). Dr. Herring was especially interested in the study of racial wealth disparities and in the application of interventions to alleviate the most pernicious effects of social stratification. He ardently championed thinking broadly, boldly, and systematically about removing the racial and cultural blinders that undermine human progress.
To honor Dr. Herring’s life and work, the following memorials are being held this month:
Texas Memorial Service and Burial, May 5: Dr. Herring will be memorialized at a service on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at 1 p.m. at the El Campo Heritage Center, 803 Fahrenthold Street, El Campo, Texas 77437.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the UMBC Foundation Language, Literacy and Culture program. Donations to the fund may be made online at support.umbc.edu. Please designate the LLC Program and note the gift is in memory of Dr. Cedric Herring. You may also make checks payable to the UMBC Foundation noting the LLC Program in the memo line. Mail to: UMBC Foundation, 1000 Hilltop Circle, Baltimore, MD 21250.
Any flowers should be sent so that they can be delivered to the El Campo Heritage Center between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. Saturday.
UMBC On-Campus Memorial, May 21: The Language, Literacy, and Culture doctoral program, the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and the President’s and Provost’s Offices invite you to join them for a memorial on Monday, May 21, 3 to 5 p.m. on the 7th floor of Albin O. Kuhn Library.
Sympathy Cards for Dr. Herring’s family: The LLC program (Sherman Hall, Room 421) and the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration and Policy (Public Policy Building, Room 252) are collecting cards and notes for Dr. Herring’s family.
Please share your photos of Dr. Herring with Liz Steenrod, esteenrod@umbc.edu, or call her with any questions at 410-455-2376.

Verifying Your Employee Information
In order to satisfy institutional, state and federal reporting and recordkeeping requirements, the Department of Human Resources is requiring all employees to review and verify their campus and personal information. Verification of this information will ensure accurate and consistent data is captured in systems for mandated reporting such as payroll, benefits, financials and grants administration.
What action is required?
All employees must review their campus and personal information via myUMBC by May 15, 2018. The step-by-step instructions for the verification process are as follows:
- Log into myUMBC;
- Select your name in upper right corner of the page;
- Select “Profile” from the drop-down menu
- Select “VIEW MORE” under your email address in the “About” section
- View all information and update accordingly; and
- Once all campus and personal information has been reviewed, click the “Verify” button at the top of the page.
What you should know:
The “About” page is comprised of two data components: “Campus Info” and “Personal Info.”
- Campus Info: Displays public work information on the UMBC’s online directory and subsequent websites. You can select what you want displayed.
- Personal Info: This information is compiled from HR and/or student data systems. It is vital that the information under Personal Info is verified.
Notes: - The address displayed under the ‘Personal Info’ section is the employee’s payroll/check address. This information is view only; therefore, employees seeking to update their payroll/check address may do so by following the instructions on the HR Payroll Webpage.
- Home and Campus phone numbers are sometimes overlooked during a review process. Please verify that a home and/or campus phone number is accurately listed for your record.
For questions or additional information, please contact our HRIS Manager, Sherrell McNamara, mcnamara@umbc.edu.

Sad news for the UMBC community
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Dr. Cedric Herring, professor and director of the language, literacy, and culture doctoral program, passed away last night. Dr. Herring made enormous contributions to UMBC in just four years; his colleagues and students have learned from his example, his scholarship, and his commitment to making the academic world more inclusive and just.
Additional information and a fuller tribute will be shared with the campus in the coming days. For now, please join in doing all that we can to support his spouse and our colleague, Dr. Loren Henderson, assistant professor of sociology, anthropology, and health administration and policy, and their family, as well as his colleagues and students, at this difficult time.
Scott Casper, Dean, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
