Spring 2017 Dissertation Fellowship
Applications Due Friday, November 4, 2016
The UMBC Graduate School Dissertation Fellowship
Application Deadline: Friday, November 4, 2016
The Dissertation Fellowship is designed to provide doctoral candidates at UMBC an opportunity to devote the necessary concentration and attention towards finishing the writing of their dissertations. The Fellowship is specifically designed for students with full-time jobs off-campus, for those without any financial support who are making steady progress with their writing, and for whom having additional time and resources would permit them to complete the process more expeditiously. This Fellowship is not available as an option for students with available graduate assistantship support.
The Dissertation Fellowship could provide promising doctoral candidates with financial support so that they may reduce their current obligations and partially offset any reductions in salary or increases in expenses. No additional work assignments other than work on the dissertation are to be associated with this support.
Priority will be given to students who demonstrate that the Fellowship will allow them the needed time to complete their writing and to make revisions in time to defend the work within a realistic but expeditious time frame. Awards will be made to students who have demonstrated a commitment to provide at least 20 hours per week for an entire academic semester to writing the dissertation.
Dissertation Fellowship awards are available for Spring 2017. The duration of an award is for one semester. The maximum level of support for Spring is a total stipend of $8,448.00 per Fellowship plus tuition remission for two credits of 899.
To be considered for a Dissertation Fellowship, the Ph.D. candidate must:
- be in good academic standing;
- provide a letter of support from the Chair of the Dissertation Committee that
1) describes the state of the dissertation and the probable impact of receipt of the Fellowship on the progress toward completion; and,
2) verifies that no UMBC-administered financial support is available for the student;
- provide, if employed outside the university, written evidence from the student’s employer indicating the employer’s willingness to reduce job time and duties in order for the student to participate in the Fellowship;
- submit a dissertation abstract of no more than two pages in length; and
- submit a 1-2 page management plan signed by the Chair of the Dissertation Committee describing the status of the dissertation work, the steps required to complete the work, and the feasible time line for completion.
Applications for Spring 2017 Dissertation Fellowships will be accepted by the Office of the Associate Dean of the Graduate until Friday, November 4, 2016. A committee consisting of three members of the Graduate School Leadership Team will review applications and announce recipients of the Fellowship by Friday, November 11, 2016. Selection will be based on the extent of convincing evidence that the award will provide the critical element need to complete the dissertation

Then & Now, #7: Lecture Hall 1 & The Quad, 1967 & 2016
... but in 1967, it wasn't a "Quad" yet
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
There was no "Quad" when UMBC opened in 1966 because there were not enough buildings to form one. The open field adjacent to the Academic Building (now part of the Biological Sciences Building) and the Multi Purpose Building (later Gym I) was eventually called "the Mall."
The Lecture Hall (now commonly called Lecture Hall 1) stood between the Academic and Multi Purpose Buildings. To create the 1967 photo below, the photographer stood on what is now the Commons Terrace and pointed the camera toward the the Mall. The foreground of the shot includes Gym I (on the left) and the Lecture Hall (on the right).
We went back to where the photographer must have been standing (though the elevation is different now) and took a matching shot.

Best Memories from UMBC's 50th Anniversary Weekend
I do not want to forget ...
by David Hoffman
- Last Monday, Co-Create UMBC featured a "Then & Now" post in which Craig Berger and I re-created a couple of old photos taken at the site of UMBC's original breezeway. In the foreground of a 1969 photo was a young couple. Their remarkable story had appeared on the Retriever Stories site, which is where I had first come across the photo. On Friday night, I was volunteering at the Student Events Board's outstanding Really Really Big Bingo Event:
Edward & Sharyn, 2016
- On Saturday morning, I posted a Facebook status mentioning that I hoped I'd cross paths with Diane (Juknelis) Tichnell, class of 1970, who had written a remarkable reflection for UMBC's first Commencement program. And that's exactly what happened: We literally crossed paths on the UC Plaza, and I got to spend a few minutes learning the story of that text (which she'd had just 15 minutes to write, and never felt completely confident about) and UMBC's earliest years. Here's that reflection:
- At the end of the Roots of Greatness Luncheon in the UC Ballroom, we all stood to sing the UMBC Alma Mater. I've been hearing and singing the Alma Mater for 10 years (it was introduced at UMBC's 40th anniversary celebration), but in that Ballroom on Saturday, standing with faculty, staff and students from UMBC's earliest years, I was really moved by it for the first time. That second verse rang so very true, and felt so well earned: "Throughout the ages, our UMBC, songs and memories will echo with true clarity. Knowledge and wisdom and truth we found here, friendships we treasure that will last through the years ..."
- As Craig and I have been creating the Then & Now series, we've visited various spots on campus, trying to figure out exactly where some long-ago photographer stood, picturing the old buildings and walkways as they must have been. On Saturday I saw alumni from decades past attempting almost the reverse: living in their memories of the old buildings and walkways, and trying to figure out where they were standing now. I stopped to talk with a few, and heard stories that opened new windows on UMBC's past. One of them: a 1984 grad I met on the Commons Terrace was here for the construction of the new wing of the Biological Sciences Building (creating the breezeway). As we looked at that structure, she recalled that for weeks there were serious problems with construction workers catcalling female students as they walked past.
- Many of the students I've known in my 13 years here came back, and connecting with them was almost overwhelming: so many stories I wanted to hear, so many memories stirred, and too little time for a deep dive. Most powerful were the reflections of graduates who see clearly how they're making use of what they learned as student leaders. Connecting them with current students, many of them experiencing similar challenges or holding the same positions, was thrilling. My list of alumni with whom to follow up, and ideas about how to tap their wisdom and insights, is long. I wish we had had more time. I wish we could be together in one place whenever we wanted.
- The 13 years I've been at UMBC represent a decent fraction of the entire history of the university (and a somewhat larger fraction of my lifetime). That's long enough that I'm often the person in the room with institutional memory: the bearer of history. Sometimes I feel old, like an ambassador from a lost time. But not during the anniversary celebration. To the people who walked UMBC's paths before the concrete was poured, and who helped to create the culture and conditions that seem so natural we don't think of them as having starting points, I'm a latecomer. That's humbling and inspiring at the same time. We stand on the shoulders of giants, but we all can be UMBC pioneers.
What are the experiences from UMBC's 50th anniversary celebration you don't want to forget?
I'll submit all responses to UMBC's 50th anniversary time capsule, which will be sealed in a few weeks and opened 50 years from now, on UMBC's 100th anniversary.

Then & Now, #6: Fifty Years to the Day
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
Fifty years ago today (also a Monday), UMBC opened its doors. At the first Commencement in 1970, graduating senior Diane Juknelis described that moment this way:
"On September 19, 1966, while work continued on partially completed
structures on a large tract of land between the communities of
CatonsviIle and Arbutus, people and events began their work on an
identity for UMBC. A named, but as yet faceless institution of higher
learning waited motionlessly for the element of humanity that would
shape its inner structure and give it a true direction and scope."
The element of humanity. The first of us.
The first photo below was taken on a stairwell in what was then called the Academic Building, on that very first day; the second, fifty years later (in what is now called the Biological Sciences Building). The difference in the views out that window tells a small part of a great story still being written.
