PicUMBC #5: Where Does the Smiling Fish Swim?
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
UMBC is full of treasures and oddities hidden in plain view, and this is the second PicUMBC image to feature a fish. But where is this image on campus, and in what water is the fish swimming? Let us know by email at CoCreateUMBC@umbc.edu. Bonus points for sending a photo of yourself with the fish by email, or to the Co-Create UMBC Facebook page, or on Twitter (#PicUMBC). The prize for being the first to identify the location of the treasure/oddity correctly (and specifically): You'll be celebrated in the next PicUMBC post.
PicUMBC #4, Revisited:
Lindsey Canterbury correctly identified this as part of one of the backlit photos decorating a two-story wall in the Public Policy Building atrium:
Congratulations to Lindsey. Who's next?

Phenomena in Need of Names
by David Hoffman and Craig Berger
1. That moment of hesitation and uncertainty after you hear a greeting or compliment but didn't see the person say it, and so can’t be sure whether it was directed at you.
2. The impulse of each generation to invent or appropriate its own words for “great!” (cool, rad, hot, tight, on point, etc.).
3. The occasional, usually brief interval in which all of the inanimate objects you encounter (your car keys, hairbrush, sandwich) slip out of your hands, malfunction, break, get in your way, or otherwise hinder your progress.
4. The turning point when you decide to pursue the major and career path you really want, rather than those you had felt pressured or obligated to pursue.
5. The point in the semester at which it's just completely impossible not to have arrived at a long break, and yet weeks remain.
6. The period after you've had a difficult experience that has probably made you stronger and wiser but before you have had an opportunity to apply your new strength and wisdom (and so prove to yourself that they exist).
7. Moments that will, in retrospect, turn out to be the beginnings of stories that define you (e.g., meeting your future significant other for the first time), but which, when they occur, seem perfectly ordinary.
8. The problem of being only 80% sure you've remembered someone’s name correctly, but being beyond the point in your acquaintance when it is reasonable to ask.
9. The sense that you are probably being watched, right at this moment, by a squirrel.
10. The point at which the awfulness of an experience starts to be diminished by anticipation of the awesome status update you'll soon be able to share on social media.
11. The moment when someone offers a friendly, parting thought and you say, "You, too!," when it doesn't apply to them.
12. The unearned sense of accomplishment you feel when finding an open parking spot at a prime location.
Suggestions?

Call for proposals for “What Went Wrong?" Conference
Reflecting and Learning from Community-Engaged Research
“What Went Wrong?"
Reflecting and Learning from Community-Engaged Research
Members of the Twin Cities metropolitan area (Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN) in conjunction with the University of Minnesota are convening the first ever “What Went Wrong?” conference from July 11-12, 2014, dedicated to understanding and enhancing community-engaged research practices.
The “What Went Wrong?” conference will provide a space for those working for social justice to come together in active dialogue about what it means for communities and universities to practice deeply engaged research that is reflexive, questions power dynamics, and works toward shifts in practice. We will unpack our interests, our values, and our ways of knowing to encourage honest collaboration and relevant research. We will seek to disrupt traditional ways of viewing community/university partnerships and power dynamics. We will directly address individual and collective motives and benefits that partners seek from collaboration and the ways these can both expand and limit possibilities. By highlighting our failures, we will analyze the complex conditions that surround engaged research. We will question the ways in which collaborative research for social justice can reinforce the status quo of unequal power dynamics. Finally, the conference will serve as a resource for community members, organizations, youth researchers, graduate students, and university faculty who are interested in developing critical community-engaged research partnerships.
The “What Went Wrong?” conference is a participatory event. This call for proposals invites you to share the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that have come from “failure.”
Proposals must be submitted online using this Proposal Submission Form (a printable form can also be found on this same page). UPDATE: Proposals are due by April 14,2014 at 5pm. More information about the conference can be found here. See the attached flyer for more information.

Real People Profiles: Ganesh Mysore
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: Ganesh Mysore
Hometown: Clarksville, MD
Major: B.S. in Chemical Engineering and B.A. in Political Science
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: I have been at UMBC since Fall 2011.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I am currently serving as the Student Government Association Coordinator for Prove It!
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I work with other students to make UMBC a better place.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: The best part of my work on campus is my interaction with other students. I love hearing about their ideas to take ownership of UMBC to make it a better community. I enjoy helping students engage in projects that they care about, becoming leaders in their own right.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most important thing I've learned at UMBC is that it is most fulfilling to do things with authenticity. Most people see this idea by the fact that we are a population of students who are delighted by our collective nerdiness. UMBC has taught me to seek out the things that I care about and work towards those goals regardless of external pressures to put my efforts elsewhere.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
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: I like how Academic Row has three levels. From the highest level (near the PAHB), you can actually see all the way down to the Quad. Other interesting parts of campus in that vicinity include the amphitheaters behind the Admin and Fine Arts buildings. They are quiet places to go at night.
UMBC is full of treasures and oddities hidden in plain view. One of them is pictured above--but where is it, and why? Let us know by email at CoCreateUMBC@umbc.edu. Bonus points for sending a photo of yourself with the treasure/oddity by email, or to the Co-Create UMBC Facebook page, or on Twitter (#PicUMBC). The prize for being the first to identify the location of the treasure/oddity correctly (and specifically): You'll be celebrated in the next PicUMBC post.
PicUMBC #3, Revisited:
Several people, including Jay Hong, Verna Van and Sam Spehr, recognized this as part of the patio behind (and mostly above) the Meyerhoff Hall lecture hall:
Valerie Parks, Ganesh Mysore, Meghan Carpenter and Melissa Hom (the photographer) earned bonus points by sending a photo:
But the winners are Lisa Dang and John Malloy, who were first with the correct response. That makes them the first two-time PicUMBC winners!
Congratulations to Lisa and John. Who's next?
