Run for SGA 2012-2013
In this guest post, Caitlyn Leiter-Mason, SGA's Election Board Chair, lifts the curtain on the 2012 SGA election.
Exactly one month from today, I will excitedly put together a list of all the wonderful students at UMBC who have decided to run for SGA office. Will one of those names be yours?
Today, the SGA Election Board is launching our website – www.umbc.edu/studentvote – as well as a myUMBC group “Elect SGA 2012” to help you decide whether or not to run (hint, the answer is you should!).
Each spring (mark your calendars for April 23-25!), the undergraduate student body at UMBC elects students to 20 positions. We choose 11 Senators, 5 Finance Board Representatives, a Vice President for Student Organizations, a Treasurer, an Executive Vice President, and a President. These are the students who allocate our student activity fees, who plan campus initiatives, who advise and support student organizations, who represent our interests, and who work with us to make UMBC ours.
In order to run for SGA office, you have to fill out a candidate application with some basic information about who you are and why you want to run. Those will be due before Spring Break, on Friday, March 16th. After Spring Break, campaigns will kick into gear. Look out for open houses, debates, candidate profiles, and other ways to learn about who's running for office.
In the meantime, check out www.umbc.edu/studentvote! It's got more information about SGA structure, the positions that are open, eligibility requirements, and more. We'll keep it up to date with posts about information sessions and deadlines and other great resources for potential candidates.
My personal favorite part of the website is the “Tell Them To Run” tab. Sometimes we all need a little nudge to put ourselves out there, and running for SGA office is no exception. “Tell Them To Run” allows students to encourage each other to make a commitment to the UMBC community. Let someone know that you think they have leadership potential. Let them know you think they have great ideas. Let them know you would vote for them. And tell them they should run! Fill out the google form, and we'll make sure your message gets to them.
That's it for now! Keep your eyes peeled for more election news, and get ready to run!
Your handy-dandy Election Board Chair,

Real People Profiles: Fred Fletcher-Jackson
I’m 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: Fred Fletcher-Jackson Hometown: Severna Park. MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: I don't really have any big important titles on campus just yet...but I am a member of TheaterCom and the Musical Theatre Club (currently rehearsing for Once Upon a Mattress!!!)
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: friend, actor, STRiVEr, MTC'er, the Jester, that really loud kid, Fred
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love that I'm able to be exactly who I am without any reason to hold back, and that I can surround myself almost 24 hours a day with people who share the same passions as me and who I can get along with so well.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Let people be who they are. Accept and understand their differences. Do that, and EVERYONE has the potential to become a lifelong friend.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: WWE wrestling, Evanescence, and Ovaltine.
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: One of my favorite activities is to just go for a walk and cover as much of the campus as possible. Walking around, especially on Hilltop Circle, is not only a great way to clear your head, but you can get some of the most beautiful views of the campus that you never knew existed.
BONUS VIDEO QUESTION: What else would you like to share? Ask yourself a question and answer it.

Some highlights of her life:
- Born in Baltimore, she moved to Paris after her parents' divorce and her mother's remarriage.
- Around her 19th birthday, she was presented as a debutante before King George VI and his wife at the Court of St. James.
- After her mother died when she was about 20, she moved back to Baltimore and began working in the Johns Hopkins Hospital emergency room.
- In her early 20s, her prowess as a tennis player got her photographed for the Baltimore Sun's sports section.
- In her mid-20s she married an Army Air Corps captain while he was on a 3-day leave from World War II. The couple lived in an old farmhouse in Elkridge and had 10 children.
- Once her youngest child entered school, she applied to UMBC to pursue her bachelor's degree in French.
- At 52, she graduated alongside her second son.
- After earning a master's degree from the University of Maryland, College Park at age 54, she taught French language and literature at UMBC, College Park and Catholic University.
- She was a docent at Walters Art Museum and led French-speaking tours.
Elinora Bowdoin Bolton's story has me thinking about my own life, and about what it means to make the most of one's opportunities. We all grow up immersed in a world of expectations about our roles and appropriate paths. I don't know for certain that she experienced any part of her life as a struggle against such conventions, but I'd like to think that Mrs. Bolton's mid-life decision to earn bachelor's and master's degrees represented a triumph of self-awareness and free will. That's a victory worth seeking at any age.

The Quality of Life Technology (QoLT) Center, a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center led by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, will sponsor a Dissertation House for their students at the end of March. The Dissertation House (DH) for the QoLT will be held in Pittsburgh, PA. Funding for this DH is provided by QoLT’s National Science Foundation funding as a collaborative grant between PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP and the QoLT Center. The collaboration between PROMISE and the QoLT began at a national NSF meeting for the ERCs in December 2010. PROMISE was participating in the conference as part of a panel on under-representation in STEM, facilitated by the Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Health and the Environment (MIRTHE) Engineering Research Center that includes UMBC, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, Texas A&M University, and the City College of New York.
Graduate students who are already part of the QoLT will have the first opportunities to register for this DH. The timing of this Dissertation House will connect to the start of the annual convention for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). Since Pittsburgh is hosting the 2012 NSBE national convention that is expecting thousands of students and professionals, the QoLT will consider registrations from graduate students who attend their partner institutions and are planning to attend the mini Graduate School Conference (GSC) at the NSBE convention.
Dissertation House at the QoLT Main session: Monday, March 26 – Wednesday, March 28, 2012. 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Small group and individual coaching: Thursday, March 29, 2012, 9:00 AM – 12 PM.
Head Coach: Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale. Facilitator: Dr. Renetta Tull. QoLT Graduate Assistants: Sossena Wood (Region II Chair for NSBE, Twitter: @R2Chair) and Portia Taylor.
Graduate students from the QoLT who plan to participate should follow the application procedures on the application webpage for the Dissertation House. Students from other institutions must seek permission from Shelly Brown, Outreach Coordinator for the QoLT Center at the Human Engineering Research Laboratory and the University of Pittsburgh Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology: srbrown@pitt.edu, (412) 822-3665 (email preferred). Applications will be accepted for an extended enrollment period between February 20 and March 9. Deadline: Friday, March 9, 2012.
