Finals Break: The End of Technology
by Craig Berger
So here's something to consider if you want to put aside papers and exams for a few minutes: What would you do if every electronic device became inoperable forever, and you were suddenly living without technology?
One Second After, a post-apocalyptic novel set in rural North Carolina, tells the story of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States and its effects on the small town of Black Mountain. To answer the question you're probably asking first: An EMP is simply a burst of electromagnetic radiation. In the book, the burst happened as a consequence of a nuclear device (or a few) detonating in the air over the United States. The sudden increase in electromagnetic radiation leads to surges in electric currents, frying and disabling all electronic devices. In the story, cars shut down on highways, leaving hundreds stranded, phone lines immediately went down, and no television or radio was available (if you've seen the show "Revolution" on NBC, you get the picture). The only operable device is a 1959 Ford Edsel, which doesn't have any electronic equipment and therefore was immune to the radiation. The characters living in Black Mountain struggle to survive after sharply moving from 21st Century conditions to life in a 19th Century reality. Governance, securing the community, treating disease, preserving and rationing food, living off the land, and even hand-washing clothes emerge as problems to tackle. In the novel, the community realizes that it is nowhere near prepared to take on these challenges.
I couldn't help but think about my own existence should this, or something similar, happen. While I have been blessed with a strong sense of direction and could probably make do without Apple Maps on my phone, would I be able to trek 330 miles toward Ohio and my family, fending off other nomads, a lack of food/drink, and Mother Nature? Would my family even stay put, or would they be gone when I arrive? I realized that should this happen, I might regret spending all that time teaching my grandparents how to use their PC, e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter, wishing instead that I had asked about canning or constructing an outhouse. It's interesting that the very skills, knowledge, or devices we discount and even mock as outdated and passe are things on which we'd need to rely.
So where would I go and what would I do? It would depend on when it happened. If I was at UMBC, I'd most likely be helping to maintain some order in the short-term. If I had the fortune of being at home, I'd probably hunker down in my apartment and attempt to decipher what had happened. Luckily, my apartment itself is on the third floor and is fairly secure, so I think I'd be safe for at least a little while. My first stop after making the decision to venture out would most likely be the library, in search of old how-to books. Of course, I'd need to identify a way of getting inside the building if the doors weren't already unlocked--would I be too hesitant to break in and steal? Or would I already feel desperate enough to not give it thought? I would also need to consider my lack of transportation if I was able to gain access; I'd only be able to take so many books with me at once. And then food--while I could probably attempt to loot the nearest grocery store, a more long-term, sustainable solution would probably involve learning how to live off the land, including hunting and identifying a fresh supply of water.
What about you? Given what you know about your talents and skills, how might you proceed in a similar scenario? What would UMBC be like? Where would you go, and what's the first thing you'd do? What have I forgotten?

Real People Profiles: David Hoffman
I've posted almost 200 Real People Profiles from UMBC students, faculty, staff and alumni. But until now, I've never posted my own. Here it is.
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my tenth year.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Assistant Director of Student Life for Civic Agency.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Encourage you to change the world; organize BreakingGround; teach; write this blog.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I work with amazing students, faculty, staff, alumni and off-campus partners on projects that truly matter, and which we care about deeply. Unlike any job I've ever had before, I get to be the real me--honest and authentic, not just playing a role--nearly 100% of the time. I'm thoroughly challenged and well supported. I have opportunities to use my memories of the most challenging experiences of my past as resources to help others overcome their own challenges. I feel like I've found my home. And to top it all off, we're all together in this magical community at an incredible time in UMBC's history, when there is so much on which to build, yet the work remains unfinished, so that all of us can still be pioneers. I love being here with you.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The most important thing I learned in college was to appreciate and work with people who came from backgrounds and had life experiences very different from my own. Before I started college, I unknowingly made two false assumptions: that the circumstances of my childhood were basically the same as everybody else's (what did I have to compare them to?), and that most of the learning I would do in college would occur in classrooms. I was fortunate to go to school in a very diverse setting (UCLA), and made the great decision to get involved on campus. As a result, I spent a lot of time building relationships across difference and navigating complex situations. Those life experiences changed everything for me. Working with people unlike me helped me discover and develop aspects of my own identity: my values, my sense of justice. Navigating complex situations helped me develop vital skills. To this day, I continue to draw lessons from those precious experiences.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: UMBC, BreakingGround, SGA, STRiVE, the Language, Literacy & Culture doctoral program, civic engagement, marriage equality, fantasy baseball, seasons, the 25-hour day ("fall back") when Daylight Savings Time ends, my friends and family.
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: When the campus was first built in the 1960s, the administrative leaders decided to wait to lay sidewalks. They watched how people walked between the buildings, and then put down the sidewalks over the footpaths. What that means to me is that this is, and always has been, a community we all create together.

BONUS VIDEO QUESTION: What else would you like to share? Ask yourself a question and answer it.
It's final exam time, so instead of a traditional Bonus Video Question, I leave you with the soothing sight of Bucky and Penny hanging out together in my backyard. Keep calm, and carry on!

UMBC Nominee Meghan Carpenter is Student Regent Finalist
by David Hoffman
UMBC junior Meghan Carpenter passed another big test in the Student Regent selection process this weekend, having been selected as one of three finalists for the position from across the University System of Maryland.
The three finalists will meet with University System of Maryland officials in the next six weeks, and their names will be submitted to Governor O'Malley. The Governor will select the Student Regent early in 2013.
The Student Regent serves as the only student member of the University System of Maryland's governing board, helping to set policies and priorities relating to academics, financial aid, facilities and budgets. Meghan is the 11th consecutive UMBC nominee to be selected as a finalist. Three of the previous ten were appointed Student Regent.
Way to go, Meghan!

Reduce your stress by changing your thinking – Addressing Feelings of Stress – Dec. 7, 2012
Stress. It plagues us! We are burdened by it. Is there a way to manage stress? Yes, there are some ways that you can reduce stress by changing the way that you perceive situations. While some situations are out of our control, there are ways to manage stress by taking some actions that you may not have considered. Dr. Robert Deluty, Associate Dean of the Graduate School and Associate Professor of Psychology will lead this session on “Addressing Graduate Students Feelings of Stress” on Friday, December 7, 2012, 4:30 PM, UMBC, Public Policy Building, Room 206. In addition to being an administrator and professor, Dr. Deluty is an author and practicing clinical psychologist with a private practice.
This seminar is brought to you by popular demand. Students who came to the seminar last year reported feeling more relaxed after Dr. Deluty’s seminar. Our evaluations, and our research show that graduate students don’t fully utilize services on campus that assist with reducing stress, but that they enjoy coming to seminars and workshops that have a welcoming atmosphere to talk about topics of stress and anxiety. Dr. Deluty’s schedule is very busy, but he is taking time out of his week to spend time with our graduate students. Please take advantage of this special opportunity. Light refreshments will be served. This event is open to all graduate students and their guests.
UMBC students, please RSVP on MyUMBC:

Directions: http://promisesuccessseminars.wordpress.com/directions-to-campuses/
Graduate students from other campuses may RSVP by writing in the comments below.
