In the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray in April 2015, we need conversations that bring together a variety of voices and communities to address the intersections of poverty, race, ethnicity, and gender and help create new stories about Baltimore. This event will highlight Baltimore communities and stories through conversations about the past, present, and future of the city. Participants will explore questions about equity, identity, immigration, and belonging and discuss how residents' experiences are shaped in and through their neighborhoods. After the conversation, participants can also learn how to use digital storytelling as a way to record and disseminate their voices.
Community Conversation (12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.)
Mapping Dialogues Project: Baybrook
Rodette Jones, Community Activist and Manager of the Filbert Street Community Garden in Curtis Bay, and Nicole King (American Studies)
Highlandtown Cultural Heritage Project
Maria Nicolaidis, Greektown Resident and Historian, and Michelle Stefano (American Studies)
Identity, Immigration and Belonging: Baltimore’s Hispanic/Latino Community

Digital Storytelling Workshop (2:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.)
With Bill Shewbridge (MCS) and Tania Lizarazo (MLLI)

SGA Stipend Review Committee Proposal - Call for Feedback
A new accountability system being considered for next year
SGA is looking to implement a new accountability system beginning next academic year - the Stipend Review Committee (SRC). Proposed by Senators Josh Massey and Collin Sullivan, the SRC will ensure each SGA officer who receives a stipend is completing the job you, the students, hired them for. The SRC will not act as a grounds for impeachment if a member does not receive their stipend - however, it may prompt for further investigation from other members in the SGA. All decisions made by the SRC will be made publicly available via
the new SGA website and the
SGA group on myUMBC.
After a few weeks of discussions with the SGA Senate and Finance Board, we are opening this up to the student body for review. We would love to hear feedback from you regarding this new system. Please review
this one-pager about the SRC, and feel free to make comments on the document, or in the comments section below.
Thank you for your continued commitment to making SGA great at UMBC!

SGA Considers Instant Runoff Voting System - Survey
SGA Proposes an Instant Runoff Voting System!
Take our instant runoff voting system survey here!
The Legislative Branch of SGA is considering a new voting system and would like student input!
SGA Senator Evan Leiter-Mason is working on an initiative to reform the voting system here at UMBC. The goal of this initiative is to foster a more democratic, civil voting environment for all students.
In order to ensure that Executive officers (President/Executive Vice President, Vice President of Student Organizations, Treasurer) are only elected by a majority of student votes, Evan is proposing that SGA use an instant runoff voting system.
Instant-runoff voting is an electoral system used to elect a single winner from a field of more than two candidates. It is a preferential voting system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than voting for a single candidate. This system will conveniently require only a single round of voting.
Ballots are initially distributed based on each voter’s first preference. If a candidate secures a majority of votes cast, that candidate wins. Otherwise, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Ballots assigned to the eliminated candidate are recounted and added to the totals of the remaining candidates based on who is ranked next on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate wins by obtaining a majority of the votes. (from Wikipedia)
