“What if we could imagine an accessible world?” On Thursday, December 2nd, from 12-1:30pm, join QPOC in a discussion of race, disability, and building an accessible future! Before the event, we invite you to listen to an episode of the podcast POWER NOT PITY, hosted and produced by Bri. M, to spark the conversation. Episode 3: What If? feat. Rivers Solomon asks:
“What if we could imagine an accessible world? In this episode, Rivers Solomon, author of an Unkindness of Ghosts, discusses what an accessible future could look like. Rivers Solomon is a dyke, a Trekkie, a wannabe cyborg queen, a trash princex, a communist, a butch, a femme, a feminist, a she-beast, a rootworker, a mother, a daughter, a diabetic, and a refugee of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Rivers' debut novel, AN UNKINDNESS OF GHOSTS—pitched as ‘a science fiction meditation on trans-generational trauma, race, and identity’. It has been described as ‘a breathtaking science fiction debut from a worthy successor to Octavia Butler.’”
This event is open to everyone, however, we ask that you respect that this space will be prioritizing the voices and needs of disabled people of color.
Like in the podcast, we ask you to reflect on: “What is your disabled power?” and/or, “How can I work to dismantle ableism in myself and in the people and world around me?”

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 11/18/2021
TO: Business Managers/Department Chairs/Center Directors/Faculty
FROM: Michael T. Walsh, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs
RE: OSP Winter Break Deadlines: Dec. 24, 2021 – Jan. 2, 2022
________________________________________________________________
This is a special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for reviewing/approving proposals with deadlines to federal, state, and other agencies that occur during UMBC’s Winter Break this year.
Please note the following:
This schedule is consistent with our current policy, which requires the submission of complete proposals to OSP at least three (3) business days before the agency submission deadline. Since UMBC is closed during the Winter Break, OSP will also be closed.
The campus closure during Winter Break will cause a heavy workload on OSP staff, so we will enforce our current policy more consistently. Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed on a first-come/first-serve basis and will be submitted only if time permits. In keeping with the deadline enforcement policy of OVPR, any proposal not fully routed and ready for submission by 9:00 a.m. of the deadline date will not be submitted to the agency. If the deadline occurs over Winter Break, this deadline is the last working day before the break (12/23/21).
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Dr. Michael T. Walsh
Director
Office of Sponsored Programs
