According to the Oxford Dictionary imposter syndrome is “the persistent inability to believe that one’s success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one’s own efforts or skills.” 

When you are suffering from imposter syndrome the following signs may occur:

  • Fear of failure
  • Fear of success
  • Burnout
  • Perfectionism
  • Lack of confidence
  • Comparison to others.

All of these signs can be experienced in the workplace. For example, you may procrastinate on a project because you’re suffering from fear of failure. Or, you may spend your days comparing yourself to others in your office, hindering you from making connections with your co-workers. Finally, you may be in a state of perfectionism to show your value, which can result in burnout. Imposter syndrome can cause these scenarios and more, leading to less-than-ideal outcomes.

So how do you overcome it? Try one of these methods:

  • Keep track of reminders. Keep a folder in your inbox where you can drop in positive notes (“kudos”) from colleagues and supervisors. Every once in a while, look back at those emails.
  • Reframe your thinking. Tell yourself that you’re not the only one who has felt this way. Turn around negative sentiments into more positive ones.
  • Practice self-empathy.  Know that you’re not alone, and that you are worthy of the job position you’re in. Give yourself grace and credit for how much you’ve already accomplished.
  • Commiserate with others. Find colleagues or mentors who know what it’s like to suffer from imposter syndrome. Perhaps there is even an affinity group you can join. Remember that we all go through it at one point or another!
  • Take a broader view. Try to look at your situation from a wider lens. You may get a more realistic picture of how you’re performing vs. zooming in under the microscope.

Need help taking the broader view when it comes to your career? Take the FOCUS 2 Assessment to see how you can best apply your strengths, which can help you avoid imposter syndrome.

  • Can I still check out and return things during the pause?
Yes, you will be able to check out and return library materials, although you will not see checkouts and returns reflected on your library account immediately.

  • Can I still request a laptop during the pause?

No, you will not be able to request books/other materials from USM campuses. Requests made through ILLiad will function as usual.

  • Can I request a book or DVD from UMBC for local pickup?
No, this process will be turned off during the migration. Books and media will be available in the library’s open stacks. If you need an accommodation to retrieve materials, contact us at circdept@umbc.edu.

  • I requested a book before the pause and it’s still in process. Where is it?
Please contact Circulation at circdept@umbc.edu or 410-455-2354 for updates on any in-progress hold requests.

  • I returned something but it’s still on my account. Why?
Items returned between May 17 and 23 will still show on your account even if they’ve been returned. If an item is still on your account on May 28, contact us at circdept@umbc.edu.

  • I’m graduating and have a question about library fines. Who do I talk to?
Please get in touch with the Circulation department at circdept@umbc.edu for time-sensitive financial matters.

  • María Célleri, Assistant Professor, Gender, Women’s + Sexuality Studies; Tania Lizarazo, Associate Professor, Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication; Thania Muñoz D., Associate Professor, Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication; and Yolanda Valencia, Assistant Professor, Geography and Environmental Systems
    Summer 2024 Residential Faculty Fellows

    Project: "Abya Yala"

    The Abya Yala Project is a multi-layered series of events and collaborative work that willlead to opening the Abya Yala Research Lab—a space to support research on Latin AmericanStudies at UMBC. Abya Yala is one of the Indigenous names for the Americas. As decolonial Latin Americanists, these faculty are committed to community-building scholarship that does not center one single language, nationality, or field of study. The summer fellowship will focus on preliminary work for a multimodal open-access edited volume, including contributions from students, faculty, artists, and other community members. Following a community event in May 2024 to meet Latina/es in the DMV region interested in contributing to this collaborative publication, the Abya Yala Project will create, send out, and begin submission reviews for a Call for Abstracts during the Summer of 2024.

  • Sally Shivnan, Principal Lecturer, English
    Summer 2024 Adjunct Faculty Fellow

    Project: "Researching Settings to Inform Two Novels in a Series"

    A convention of mystery novels is evocative setting, for good reason. Compelling settings can flavor the story, drench it in mood, and make the plot, through vivid details, vibrant and convincing. Shivnan’s upcoming novel, Two Can Play, is the first in a literary mystery series of literary mystery novels. Work has begin on a second novel, a prequel titled The Prodigal Daughter, as well as the third book in the series. During her summer fellowship, Shivnan will travel to conduct research on two settings that will appear in the second and third novels: Florida’s Gulf Coast and the Brittany region of France. Character and plot are the children of invention, but details of place require eyes and ears on the ground—for writing fiction, there is no substitute for this kind of research.

UMBC is partnering with local non-profit 'There Goes My Hero' for a swab drive benefitting the National Bone Marrow Registry!

Currently, it's less likely for a person of color to receive a viable donor from the registry when they are diagnosed with blood-related cancers. This is due to limits in donations from adults of similar ancestry. There Goes My Hero seeks to bridge this gap with their ‘Color the Registry’ initiative, which aspires to educate potential donors and recruit more life-savers to the registry. 

Registering takes only 10 minutes and includes just swabbing your cheek!

Mondays | June 3 - Aug 19 | 1-3pm | PUP 451*

Hybrid format (Webex call-in available)

*Please note that on June 3rd only we will meet in PUP 438.

Join us on Mondays, in-person or online, throughout the summer months for a faculty writing group. Faculty from all disciplines are welcome! Our theme this summer is camaraderie and creativity, emphasizing our shared commitment to fostering a community of friendship, accountability, and the pursuit of new research agendas. 

At the start of each writing session we will share our session goals, provide updates on work in progress, and then write in silence for the remainder of our time. Upon completion of the session we will share our successes, challenges, and detours from the session, and then set our agenda for the upcoming week. Snacks will be provided! Occasionally we will also plan a lunch in Catonsville just prior to the group meeting to celebrate our ongoing work. 

Contact Kerri Evans (kerrieva@umbc.edu) for more information.
