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: Jonathan Law
Hometown:I grew up in Silver Spring, now live in Boyds, and went to high school in Rockville, so I consider myself a Montgomery County resident at large.
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my fourth year!
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:I am the Representative Liaison for QUMBC, VP of Volunteers with Major Inspiration. I'm also in SGA's Health and Wellness and WILL (Women Involved with Leadership and Learning).
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Collaborating to create social justice actions at UMBC. Oh, and take classes?
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love the idea of training little activists. At QUMBC, we have developed a horizontal structure that emphasizes members developing the skills to implement their own ideas to change the community. Basically, I want QUMBC to drive David Hoffman out of his job.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The strengths perspective in social work. It is taught in opposition to the problem-centered perspective, which emphasizes clients as problems that need to be solved by social workers. Instead, the strengths perspective wants social workers to acknowledge clients as the experts and masters of their own lives and that social workers are there to advocate for clients and empower them to change their own lives.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Context. Reductionism is my archenemy; I just want to contextualize, historicize, and complicate everything. It makes it difficult to create solutions when your problems are big and ancient instead of mindless beasts to slay, but that's what you have to do if you really want to effect change. You can't just focus on saving the deer when preserving an ecosystem or just hand a patient a prescription when treating them for a chronic problem: you have to situate problems in the greater context and in the systems involved. (And that is when you smash the patriarchal capitalist state.)
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: The professors and staff around you are not just teachers. They are (sometimes) amazing people with great stories and experience and knowledge and you need to tap that like they're maple trees and you have the driest pancakes ever. Talk to them, connect with them!
If nothing else, they may be more lenient with your final grade when you're BFFs.

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: Jermeiah Brickey
Hometown: Seabrook, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: I’ve been at UMBC since Fall 2007.
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:Inter-Fraternity Council President
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity President
UMBC Rugby Social Chair
UMBC Choice Program Volunteer
UMBC Ambassador Program
UMBC Woolie
Telecommunications Systems Intern (UMBC BWTech)
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Most prominently, I am a huge advocate for Greek Life.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love creating and coordinating events for student life. I’ve put together some events in the past few years, such as the Miss Minerva Talent Pageant and Dance-a-Thon, that have brought a lot of fun to campus and spotlight some of our amazing talent.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: More than anything I’ve learned that college, and life as a whole, is just what you make it. Every bad day I’ve ever had in or out of class has been of my own making. College is a maturing experience that helps you to realize that every day is a chance to be awesome—you just have to decide that’s exactly what you’re going to do.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Smiling, regardless of the thousands of reasons not to. Shake it off brother, there are kids out there with no water.

A: Not enough people stop to enjoy the rock garden. Slow down and check it out next time on the way to the RAC.

I met my future wife on the fifth of December some years ago. I was sitting with a friend and colleague in the lobby of The Priory, a Pittsburgh hotel. We had flown in from San Diego for a staff meeting. Ten feet away sat an adorable woman about our age, looking a little nervous. We thought she might be Sharon, one of the staff members hired since the last quarterly meeting, but we weren’t sure and, being shy and a little awkward, didn’t ask. Only when somebody who knew all three of us walked into the lobby did we finally meet.
Exactly a year and a day later, I waited anxiously for Sharon at the San Diego airport. We had gotten to know each as we worked together, mainly by phone and email. In the previous couple of weeks, we had acknowledged our feelings for each other across the miles. Now here she was at last, walking into my arms.
I gave her a small gift that day, a sign of hope for the new relationship we were building together. It was a musical Christmas ornament: a little angel. We spoke of it as an anniversary present, commemorating the day we had met. And every year since, I have given Sharon another musical ornament to mark the day.
There are many privileges that come with being alive and free and able to make choices. One of the best is the opportunity to create traditions that help give outward shape to our inward experiences. My relationship with Sharon now lives not just in our daily interactions but in our touchstones and customs, in the special symbols we have created to hold meanings more profound than words alone could ever convey. “Happy anniversary” only scratches the surface, but a happy anniversary it is.

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: Matthew McNey
Hometown: Columbia
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This will be my third year, fifth semester at UMBC and still loving every minute of it!
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:SGA Senator (this will be my third year in this position) and President of College Democrats.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Why 12 Words? Argh... ok: Supportive of change, loyal student advocate (not actually a Student Advocate) and political pragmatist.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: In the past the SGA was in a role, not dissimilar from High School, positions were important and we were the loyal opposition to the administration. It has been a good transition from a competitive atmosphere when I entered SGA to a more equitable atmosphere and the organization becoming a shareholder in making decisions with the administration. I guess, the best aspect with my role would have to be participating in this change and continuing these philosophical discussions about where the campus should continue going, its always given me a certain feeling of place and purpose. I do hope to leave a meaningful impact on UMBC before I leave and in some big way.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Focusing on what the problem actually is to find solutions, not the other way around.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Speaking Truth to Power.
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: I should say the SGA office, because I'm always there! Get involved! Otherwise College is boring, especially at UMBC where everyone takes studying way to seriously (me included), but there is never anything to do you just have to look, ask and investigate!

Collin Wojciechowski has been selected as UMBC's nominee for Student Regent. Collin is a sophomore majoring in Political Science and pursuing a minor in History. He is Director of SGA's Office of Governmental and Community Affairs, Opinion Editor of The Retriever Weekly and a Sondheim Scholar. When he was in high school, Collin served as the student member of the Anne Arundel County Board of Education.
The Student Regent is the sole student member of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, which governs a state public higher education system that includes the UMBC, the University of Maryland College Park, Towson University and eight other campuses, along with the Center for Environmental Science and two regional higher education centers (at Shady Grove and Hagerstown). As UMBC's nominee for the position for 2011-2012, Collin will be interviewed (along with the other campus nominees) in the next few weeks by the University System of Maryland Student Council, which will forward the names of three finalists for consideration by the Governor. Early next year Governor O'Malley will make the final choice.
UMBC nominees have had great success in recent years. The past 8 nominees all have been selected as finalists, and two have been appointed Student Regent: Phil Shockley (2003-2004) and Josh Michael (2008-2009). Last year's UMBC nominee, doctoral student Alexia Van Orden, now serves as the sole student member of the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
Good luck, Collin!

ABSTRACT: This research will examine the “guido” and “mobster” stereotypes, the
prevalent representations of Italians in American media. I will first
examine the stereotypes themselves – their media histories and the
academic work pertaining to them. Then I will conduct a specific
content analysis of these stereotypes in two cultural phenomena: The Sopranos, an HBO series featuring prominently the “mobster” stereotype, and Jersey Shore,
an MTV reality show relying heavily upon the “guido” stereotype. After
examining these shows from a traditional media studies lens, I will
examine the response they elicit from the people whom they affect the
most. I will conduct study groups with both Italian Americans in the
U.S. and Italians in Italy after showing a brief series representative
clips of each of the shows to the participants. These focus groups will
offer a base level of understanding of the ways these stereotypes are
received by the people they are associated with on an increasingly
global level. I am particularly interested in the difference between
the Italian and Italian American responses because these shows, which
are originally American, have been released in Italy without the
cultural context that makes these stereotypes recognizable. I wonder
how Italians without the understanding of these stereotypes as
culturally accepted respond to media representations that seem so
foreign, and yet are associated, both by word and image, with a country
and population from which the stereotypical individuals featured are
so far removed.
