Real People Profiles: Abigail Israel-Eledan
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: Abigail Israel-Eledan
Hometown: Bowie, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: Since Spring 2011, so I am a junior this semester.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: A member of the SGA Financial Support Team, Event Manager at UMBC Events, Treasurer of Economics Council of Majors, Secretary of the Investing and Trading Club, Secretary of UMBC Women's Rugby Club, Member of President's Commission for Women
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: I am a student, friend and also a liaison between student organizations, Finance Board, and the SGA Treasurer.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: What I like the most about my roles on campus is that I get to meet new and interesting people on a daily basis and build relationships with student organizations through my work with the SGA. Also, the ability to work independently and with people like Jackie Aliotta, Drema Wentz, and Chisom Ebinama that care about what they do.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most memorable thing I have learned in college/UMBC is how to use the knowledge attained in my undergraduate studies and apply them to real-life situations. It has helped me enhance my leadership and relational skills as well as my competence in solving problems, in making decisions, and in being a team player. In retrospect, my leadership roles in student government and other community groups validate my claims.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Rugby, virtual trading games, Scandal (best TV show), and Sherlock Holmes.
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: After being at UMBC for two and a half years, I must say my favorite spot on campus is The Commons because it is always lively and you can certainly see how diverse UMBC is. The Second (Honors Lounge) and Third Floor of the Library are also places I like to go when I have a little down time. There are always free food events on campus, from departmental events to (seb)-sponsored events (Breakfast & Bingo, Free Wings, etc.). A little known fact about UMBC that I discovered through my Science 100 class is that the UMBC campus contains four arms of the Herbert Run--all which join in the southern border of the campus. There is also a .6 mile interactive trail, named CERA, by the Research Park.
BONUS VIDEO QUESTION: What else would you like to share? Ask yourself a question and answer it.

Two Fall Semester Leadership/Social Change Classes
by David Hoffman
If you're interested in building your skills as a leader and agent of positive social change ... well, you've chosen the right university, because there are plenty of opportunities. I'm going to highlight just two of many fall courses that may appeal to you.
Civic Agency & Social Entrepreneurship (AMST 205/POLI 205/SOCY 205)
Instructors: David Hoffman and Craig Berger (your Co-Create UMBC authors), Delana Gregg
3 credits
TuTh 11:30-12:45
Students in this interactive course will explore ideas and examples illuminating the process of social change. You will also work in groups to develop practical projects to create change at UMBC or in the wider community. Projects developed by students in previous semesters have included creating a basketball league for homeless men in Baltimore, putting up fiberglass Retriever statues around campus with designs reflecting UMBC's values and diversity (you'll see these next fall), setting up new applied research opportunities for UMBC undergraduates, developing new health and wellness resources for UMBC students, installing hydration stations to discourage bottled water use on campus (the first of these was installed in the Retriever Learning Center), and expanding campus food options (spotlighted in the current issue of The Retriever Weekly). Getting a real project off the ground can be challenging work, but the payoff is that you will develop the confidence and perspective you need to succeed as an agent of change.
Just like in previous semesters, we plan to engage exciting guests to help you build your skills and hone your ideas. Last fall’s lineup included UMBC Provost Phillip Rous, Vice President for Student Affairs Nancy Young, SGA President Kaylesh Ramu, MyUMBC architect Collier Jones, Communications Manager Dinah Winnick, Coordinator for Leadership Development and Education Virginia Byrne, UMBC Training Centers Chief Operating Officer Gib Mason, and professor Lee Boot.
If you have questions about this course, feel free to email me (David Hoffman, dhoffman@umbc.edu).
Foundations of Leadership Development (EDUC 216/PSYC 216)
Instructors: Virginia Byrne and Lee Calizo
3 credits
W 4:30-7:00
This course is designed to help develop effective, ethical leaders. As UMBC student you can interact with and influence other UMBC students on a daily basis. This course is designed to help you to develop as a leader and to prepare you to have a positive influence on others at UMBC and throughout your life. Through experiential projects and theoretical readings, this course will provide a foundation for your leadership development.
Example of how this course differs from other courses:
1) Class participation focused: Leadership is an inherently relational process. Within this course, you will share the responsibility to create a dynamic learning environment in which you will have the opportunity to understand, acquire, practice, reflect, and apply leadership knowledge, skills, and values. Each member of the class will be an expert in his or her own personal experience and how that experience informs and shapes the meaning made from course readings.
2) Many right answers about leadership: You will not leave this class with a 12 step plan for becoming a superhero, but you will practice skills that will help you make a difference in your community and improve your relationships.
3) No PowerPoint presentations. At all.
If you have questions about this course, email Virginia Byrne: vbyrne@umbc.edu. Find Virginia on Twitter at @WeLeadUMBC and on myUMBC at http://my.umbc.edu/groups/lc.

Happy 10th Birthday PROMISE! From April 1, 2003 to Today: A Message from the Director
Dear Participants, Alumni, and Friends of PROMISE,
Today, I celebrate 10 years as the Director of PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP. For those of you who remember my first day at UMBC, I started out in an office on the 5th floor of the Administration Building. I am so happy that so many of you who were students then, have gone on to finish your master’s and doctoral degrees. You are leaders, professors, directors of programs, you have built families, garnered hosts of friends, and you have your own mentees. As I move into the 10th year as your director, I hope to be able to continue to serve you well and help you to reach your dreams.
Please mark Saturday, August 17, 2013 on your calendars. We will be celebrating our PROMISE growth at the 2013 Summer Success Institute (SSI) on UMB’s campus. We invite all students, alumni, and friends to join us for the celebration! Please plan to join us! I would love to see you there!
The pictures below from that first year include two former peer mentors who are no longer with us, the late Jessica Soto Perez (pink sweater), and in the second picture, the late Dr. Angela Grant (center). Jessica was a Peer Mentor (Chemical Engineering) at UMBC, and Angela was a Peer Mentor (Math) at UMCP. Current students: remember that you are here and alive, so you can finish, you can continue toward that goal! It remains my honor to serve you.
Very sincerely,
Renetta Tull
First PROMISE Peer Mentors at UMBC

Happy 10th Birthday PROMISE! From April 1, 2003 to Today: A Message from the Director
Dear Participants, Alumni, and Friends of PROMISE,
Today, I celebrate 10 years as the Director of PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP. For those of you who remember my first day at UMBC, I started out in an office on the 5th floor of the Administration Building. I am so happy that so many of you who were students then, have gone on to finish your master’s and doctoral degrees. You are leaders, professors, directors of programs, you have built families, garnered hosts of friends, and you have your own mentees. As I move into the 10th year as your director, I hope to be able to continue to serve you well and help you to reach your dreams.
Please mark Saturday, August 17, 2013 on your calendars. We will be celebrating our PROMISE growth at the 2013 Summer Success Institute (SSI) on UMB’s campus. We invite all students, alumni, and friends to join us for the celebration! Please plan to join us! I would love to see you there!
The pictures below from that first year include two former peer mentors who are no longer with us, the late Jessica Soto Perez (pink sweater), and in the second picture, the late Dr. Angela Grant (center). Jessica was a Peer Mentor (Chemical Engineering) at UMBC, and Angela was a Peer Mentor (Math) at UMCP. Current students: remember that you are here and alive, so you can finish, you can continue toward that goal! It remains my honor to serve you.
Very sincerely,
Renetta Tull
