A few months from now, UMBC undergraduates will have the chance to vote to choose 2015-2016 officers for the Student Government Association. In order to ensure that the election is as fair and inclusive as possible, SGA Election Board Chair Evan Leiter-Mason is asking undergraduate students to complete a very short survey inquiring about their experiences with participating and voting in previous UMBC SGA elections.

Please take a few moments to provide Evan with the information he is seeking to make this process work well for you. Your response will make a difference. Responses will be accepted until Friday, February 6.

The 2015 SGA Election will be held April 20-22, 2015, and the candidate application will be released in mid-February.

Here is the link to the survey.

We had started the week as strangers, but the twelve of us had bonded by sharing experiences and stories at UMBC’s winter 2015 STRiVE student leadership retreat. Over the preceding few days we had dropped most of our pretenses, and together created a space in which we could comfortably be both honest and uncertain. As we sat in a circle facing each other on the retreat’s final night, two coaches and ten STRiVE participants giving each other constructive feedback, positive energy filled the room. Andrew, marveling, pointed out that we didn’t even know each other’s last names (we immediately shared them). Yet somehow each of us had become visible to the others in ways that revealed our enormous potential and our necessity to the group.

That moment of power and possibility has important implications for all of us concerned with preparing undergraduates to be capable participants in democracy and agents of positive change in their communities. Conversations about civic learning and democratic engagement in higher education often focus on building knowledge and skills. Both STRiVE and the class I teach with Craig Berger on Civic Agency and Social Entrepreneurship (AMST 205/POLI 205/SOCY 205, fall semesters) highlight analytical frameworks, tools, and tactics for working in groups, communicating across difference, developing strategic plans, and managing projects. Yet without the sense of presence, connectedness, self-worth, and indispensability that STRiVE also inspires, all that information and all those tools would have limited value, like so much firewood without a spark.

All of us in that room, and others in similar groups in other rooms at the retreat site, had contended with feelings of powerlessness and isolation in other settings. My own anxieties about my worth and potential contributions began in childhood, and no amount of jumping through hoops on the straight and narrow path to conventional success ever allayed them. My life changed when I finally allowed myself to choose a career in which I could express and be my authentic self: curious, vulnerable, and incomplete; in which my ongoing growth could serve and fuel others’ growth. I became newly and truly visible to myself and others, and alive to the ways people can pool our passions and talents to shape our world together.

Sitting with my new friends in our circle last week, I could see very clearly how our individual struggles and stories had put us in a position to help each other. Each of us mattered, in part because each of us knew what it was like to doubt the value of our presence and the possibility that we could make a difference. The genius of STRiVE is that it engages coaches and participants in opening spaces in which all of us, students and non-students, can become visible to each other and discover our collective power. If higher education is to teach and inspire a new generation of students to renew our democracy and tackle the great problems of our age, our colleges and universities also must be spaces for liberation.

At 9:00 AM EST, we opened the Winter 2015 Dissertation House at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC: An Honors University in Maryland). We have a wonderful group of students from UMBC and UMB in house, and we invite you to join us. Our Dissertation Coach is Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale. Dr. Carter-Veale is challenging the group to post “measurable” goals, and she urges everyone to be realistic so that each can accomplish an actual goal by the end of the week. Some people think that they will be able to accomplish huge tasks in a short period of time, and while you will be productive, we want to be sure that you are setting yourselves up for success. Therefore, it is not necessarily prudent to try to finish such a large task within a few days.

Graduate students who are participating in the Dissertation House here at UMBC had to apply to participate. If you are not participating in person, we invite you to join us online:

The IHS Summer Research Colloquium is a highly anticipated academic conference for graduate students working on liberty-related research in the humanities and social sciences. This year’s colloquium will take place July 9-12, 2015 at Chapman University in Orange, California.

Participants will have the unique opportunity to present their working papers to top scholars and peers in an interdisciplinary setting and receive friendly, yet constructive critiques to refine their research and move the projects towards publication readiness.

About The Colloquium
The Summer Research Colloquium features concurrent student panel sessions and plenary sessions from leading classical liberal academics throughout the weekend. The first session begins at 4 pm on Thursday, July 9 at Chapman University, Orange, CA. All accepted participants will receive lodging and meals during the course of the conference. Some travel stipends will be made to accepted presenters.

The daily schedule will include sessions with 2-3 students presenting their research, followed by an evening faculty lecture and reception. Each student presentation will be 30 minutes in length with time for feedback and Q&A. During student sessions peers and faculty will carefully analyze participants’ presentations, theses, methodology and conclusions to help them improve both their presentation skills and the paper prior to submission for publication.

Eligibility & Application Process
The Summer Research Colloquium is open to all full-time PhD graduate students and MA students who are completing their coursework in philosophy, economics, political science, history, and other related social sciences and humanities.

Applicants’ working papers or proposals should address a subject of scholarly significance that draws upon the classical liberal intellectual tradition, explores the significance of human freedom both past and present, or furthers our understanding of the principles and characteristics of a free society.

All applications should be submitted through the IHS online application system by March 31, 2015 (please see website for more details)

The theme also explores how to build insti­tu­tional sup­port for depart­ments them­selves as they become more com­mit­ted to community-engaged instruc­tion and schol­ar­ship across the cur­ricu­lum.  Build­ing that infra­struc­ture of sup­port, resources, and rela­tion­ships is essen­tial if the work is to be sustainable.

The organizers wel­come pro­pos­als from aca­d­e­mics of all lev­els involved with engage­ment activ­i­ties and com­mu­nity mem­bers involved in work­ing for social change for indi­vid­ual papers, pan­els of 3–4 pre­sen­ters, work­shops, and dig­i­tal “posters”  that will help under­stand how writ­ing func­tions socially to inform, to empower, and to trans­form and how to build infra­struc­ture to sup­port engaged research and ped­a­gogy. Please feel free to con­tact the con­fer­ence com­mit­tee before propos­ing with any ques­tions about pre­sent­ing or ideas for workshops.

Submission deadline is February 2, 2015

Campus Compact, a network of universities and individuals dedicated to creating strong civic engagement, service-learning, and community partnerships in the Maryland and D.C. area. On March 28, 2015, roughly 300 students, faculty, staff, and community partners will gather at American University to discuss the achievements and challenges made over the last year – and the work that still has to be done moving forward.

WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The conference will feature concurrent workshops led by faculty, staff, students, and/or community organization representatives.  The SLCE planning committee is now accepting workshop proposals as well as poster session proposals in the following topics:   

1. CONNECT: Community Partnerships-What are the best practices in "connection" for community-campus partnerships, and what are we learning? Examples in this area include the process of initiating and sustaining community-campus partnerships, setting short and long-term goals, the outcomes and impacts of these efforts, and innovative initiatives with community organizations. Presentations should include partner voice.

2. CREATE: Social Change Leadership-How do our campus communities "create" active citizens and promote social change? Examples include campus advocacy efforts, awareness campaigns, student led service initiatives, postgraduate social justice work and careers, innovative ways to discuss diversity topics such as race, oppression, privilege, and social identity.

3. REFLECT: Academic Service-Learning-How is the community and its main issues integrated into the classroom? How do faculty, students, partners, and staff critically “reflect” upon these issues, partnerships, and impacts? Examples include service-learning course design and best practices, faculty development, reflective practice, student success stories, next steps after a service-learning course, community-based research initiatives, living-learning communities, service-learning course assessment and impact.

Proposals due by Friday, January 23, 2015 by 11:55 pm.

Proposal submission questions may be directed to Corinne DeRoberts, Towson University, at 410-704-5764 or cderoberts@towson.edu.
