I had emergency back surgery this summer. It was unexpected since I have never had any back issues before. It turned out to be a slipped disk and stenosis. I am 9 weeks in recovery, and I am feeling fine. However, I realized I needed to make some changes. 


I am a pretty active individual in my early 60s. I walk 4-7 miles a day, don't do any strength training, and sit ALL DAY, except for sporadic errands around campus. 


This happened because I was not engaging my core in my so-called active lifestyle. The inactivity turned into gluteal amnesia, also called "dead butt syndrome," and eventually a slipped disk. 


Please check out this article from the NYT to learn how to improve our engagement with our core in our daily activities.

Dear Colleagues,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear colleague, Rochelle Sanders, who worked in Human Resources retiring in December 2019.  Rochelle was an integral part of our team and made a significant impact as one of the Directors of Human Resources.  I had the pleasure of working with her briefly as I came on board. 

Rochelle was always willing to provide her expert knowledge and was incredibly dedicated to UMBC. Her kindness and calming spirit will be greatly missed by all of us who had the privilege to work alongside her.

Our thoughts are with the Sanders family during this difficult time. Information regarding her Memorial Service taking place on Monday, September 9th is attached. 

With Gratitude,
