UMBC Closure on Wednesday, November 24, 2021

Dear UMBC Community,

We are pleased to announce that the University will be closed on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, in order to extend the Thanksgiving break.

Thanksgiving is a time when we reflect on the people and experiences that are meaningful to us. The challenges we all continue to face—and the dedication and creativity our community members have shown in the face of those challenges—make us more grateful than ever to be part of this inspiring community. Thank you for all you do for UMBC. 

The additional holiday applies as well to UMBC programs and offices at the Universities at Shady Grove. The day will be designated as a holiday on time sheets. Employees required to work on November 24 will have twelve months to use the holiday.

We wish you and yours a restful and safe holiday.


President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous

Dear UMBC Community,

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Human Resources wishes to remind you of thealternative work arrangements available to staff. While these arrangements were originally published as a pilot for the fall semester, they are now officially extended to apply to the Spring 2022 semester. As supervisors/department heads think through the best way to provide services to our community, we ask that you consider what alternative work arrangements will work to support your team, and the community members you serve. 

Alternative work schedules can allow for flexibility for a variety of roles and schedules. When evaluating the feasibility of any schedule, consideration must be given to meeting customer needs, maintaining camaraderie and connections across campus and within teams, and ensuring that any work performed off site is compliant with UMBC’s and the Division of Information Technology’s security protocols.

Final approval for employees requesting telework will continue to be granted at the college or division level. Requests for fully remote work must receive final approval from Human Resources and should continue to be very limited. You may continue to submit requests for Fall 2021until December 15, 2021. The available form now allows you to submit a request for Spring 2022, you will select the appropriate term at the end of the form. Spring telework agreements start January 1, 2022 and end June 30, 2022. All employees requesting telework or remote work will need to complete the spring form. 

Questions regarding alternative work arrangements may be submitted to COVID19hrresponseteam@umbc.edu. Supervisors are encouraged to reach out if they need assistance creating their team schedules.

We are pleased to extend these arrangements into the spring semester in order to recognize the incredibly hard work of all in our community and to support our employees as they navigate continued challenges with self care, family care, and other work/life balance considerations.

 

Valerie A. Thomas, Chief Human Resources Officer

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Dr. Elizabeth Rule (enrolled citizen, Chickasaw Nation) joins us from American University to discuss contemporary Indigenous issues. This conversation is an opportunity for UMBC to continue to center Native voices and histories as we rethink our relationship to the Piscataway and Susquehannock land on which the campus sits, and the many indigenous peoples connected to it. This event is sponsored by: Maryland Folklife Network, CIRCA, the Public Humanities Program, and the GWST Department. 

Complete speaker bio and Webex information below.

Dr. Elizabeth Rule (enrolled citizen, Chickasaw Nation) is entering her first year as an Assistant Professor of Critical Race, Gender, and Culture Studies at American University. She is also currently a MIT Indigenous Communities Fellow and the creator of the Guide to Indigenous DC mobile application. Rule’s research on issues in the Native American community has been featured in the Washington Post, Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien, The Atlantic, Newsy, and NPR. She is also a published author, releasing scholarly articles in American Quarterly and the American Indian Culture and Research Journal. Rule has two forthcoming monographs. The first, Reproducing Resistance: Gendered Violence and Indigenous Nationhood, analyzes the intersection of violence against Native women, reproductive justice, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women; this work received the Julien Mezey Award for best dissertation from the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities in 2020. Rule’s second monograph, Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation’s Capital, analyzes historical and contemporary sites of Indigenous importance in the District of Columbia and emphasizes that all American land is Indian land. Previously, Dr. Rule has held posts as Director of the Center for Indigenous Politics and Policy and Faculty in Residence at George Washington University, Postdoctoral Fellow at American University, Ford Foundation Fellow, and Predoctoral Fellow at MIT. Rule received her Ph.D. and M.A. in American Studies from Brown University, and her B.A. from Yale University.

Check out Zainab's internship with Chesapeake Employers Ins!
Name: Zainab Yekini

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Chesapeake Employers’ Insurance Company 

Position Title: Statistical Analysis and Reporting Intern

Major or Program: Information Systems B.S. Economics B.A.

Current Class Level: Junior


Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

During Summer 2021, I interned at Chesapeake Employers' Insurance Company as a Statistical Analysis intern. Chesapeake Employers' is Maryland's largest writer of workers' compensation insurance. They are a not-for-profit, non-stock, private corporation. I would generally pull numbers from company files and compile them all into an excel [sheet] making it easy for my supervisors to look through and see how they are doing with the companies they provide workers compensation for. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I often check UMBCworks for internship postings. I came across the job posting on UMBCworks and decided to apply. 

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I enjoyed being able to learn new skills and meet new people. I also enjoyed being able to use the skills I learned in ECON320 to help with the projects I was assigned. 

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

Helping the company update expense constants and written premiums on companies they provide workers compensation for, making it easier for Chesapeake to see where they stand in numbers. 

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Always remember you are there to learn, don't be afraid to ask for help!
