Real People Profiles: Brandon Enriquez
We're asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Brandon Enriquez
Hometown: Takoma Park, MD
Major: I'm doing an econ/math double-major.
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my third semester here at UMBC.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Co-president, UMBC TED Club
Co-president, UMBC College Democrats
Meyerhoff Scholar
Honors College member
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Politics-lover, number-cruncher, piano-player, and fan of Chinese food.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love how open all students and faculty are here at UMBC. People truly care about each other’s success, and that creates an environment where we all succeed. I’ve found that people are always willing to help one another. Unlike many other colleges, we can be proud that our UMBC community is actually a community, where all are invested in the success of their colleagues.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: It’s important to collaborate with others. This was a point that was really driven home to me at STRiVE this past year. Everyone has their weaknesses, and we can’t all be strong in every single area. However, when we all rely on others to fill our weaknesses, powerful change can result.
Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?
A: I co-founded the UMBC TED Club this past spring with a friend. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to giving individuals from a variety of backgrounds a platform to spread ideas. We noticed that TED did not have as much of a presence on campus as it should have, and we felt that all students would benefit from exploring new ideas through TED talks.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"A: The Baltimore Orioles!
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: My favorite spot on campus has to be the Commons. They have a nice variety of food.
And, the sixth floor of the library is a great place for a quick nap!On December 5 the LLC GSO organized a Study Social event for students in our doctoral program. We were very happy to have folks from different cohorts working on papers, readings, proposals, presentations, dissertations… you know, graduate life stuff. We did indeed work hard!, but we also had time to eat, laugh, and talk about current issues (check out the pictures!!)
At the end Study Social, we had Inte’a DeShields delivering an outstanding presentation on the research project she will use for her dissertation proposal defense. This presentation is part of Dr. Bickel’s LLC 890 proposal seminar. It was great to have the audience ask important questions and to provide feedback to Inte’a’s research proposal.
In sum, the LLC Study Social was success!! That’s why the we are trying to make this a more regular event (bimonthly or weekly). We would like LLC students interested in participating in future Study Socials to complete a
Doodle poll to figure out the days that work best for the majority.
It would be great if you could take out the time to let us know of your preference. Thank you! :)
For the time being, good luck in each of your final projects.

ISLS 2015 Founders' Emergent Scholars Award
Attention recent LLC Graduates!!!
This award is intended to promote critical language scholarship and to recognize and advance the academic work of emergent scholars who have completed their doctoral dissertations within the past five years and are entering into the community of scholars. It honors the efforts of the founding members of the International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) who established the first international society dedicated to critical scholarship in language studies. In particular, it recognizes research that addresses neglected populations, focuses on little-studied research sites, offers new perspectives, and/or uses innovative methods. The award is granted once a year. Previous applicants are welcome to reapply. We encourage all applicants to join the ISLS, but membership is not required for nomination. The winner is expected to become an ISLS member.
The award includes an opportunity for awardees to publish an article in the society’s journal, Critical Inquiry in Language Studies (CILS) or in their Readings in Language Studies book series. Awardees will be recognized at the society?s biennial conference and will have a portion of their travel expenses to the conference covered.
The application deadline is March 1, 2015
Please visit the following sites to obtain more information about the Language Studies Foundation and the Founders' Award nominations:

Apply for a Dresher Center Residential Faculty Fellowship
Call for Proposals for Spring 2016 (due May 1, 2015)
The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites applications for two Residential Faculty Research Fellowships for spring 2016. Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. The Dresher Center welcomes proposals from all full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty members pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Applications are especially encouraged from, but not limited to, full-time faculty with appointments in departments and programs with a humanities focus. Two fellowships are available. Proposals will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board, with decisions by mid-July 2014.
Dresher Center Residential Research Fellows will receive release from teaching (up to two course releases) in order to work on a significant humanities research project or the training necessary to embark on such a project. Faculty wishing to develop expertise in a new field or discipline towards a future project are also encouraged to apply. Each fellow will have the use of a private office in the Dresher Center and will be awarded $500 to hire an undergraduate research assistant (junior or senior) for the semester.
During spring 2016, fellows will reside at least one day per week in the Center, conduct two works-in-progress talks (CURRENTS and Fellows and Others), and participate actively in Dresher Center programs. Upon completion of their fellowship, fellows will serve a two-year term on the Dresher Center advisory board.
For information and an application: http://dreshercenter.umbc.edu/scholarly-resources/internal-residential-fellowship-program/
Contact Jessica Berman, Director, with any questions: jberman@umbc.edu
