March Training & Learning Opportunities Come learn with us!
Happy March everyone! The signs of spring are already showing up in our natural environment! (Spring Equinox=March 20th)

In March,  many of our learning experiences focus on building and maintaining professional relationships.  We offer curated sessions on team building, relationship building and mentoring, as well as our own session on the Performance Management Process for Supervisors. 

March Training Calendar
Attached is a PDF of our March Training Opportunities. This PDF has links to register for each of the events listed. We look forward to seeing you at many of these events to engage you in our community of learning.
A few events of particular note in our March calendar are: 

March is Women’s History Month! The USM Women’s Forum is hosting a webinar on March 15th entitled The Power of Mentoring. This exciting panel discussion of women leaders explore the effect of mentoring and career development. 

Current events led to many requests for Active Assailant Preparedness Training. We have two sessions scheduled, one on March 6th and one on March 15th with John Schaible, UMBC’s Emergency Manager. The Faculty Development Center has two sessions planned as well. Please register for only one session as the presentation will be the same for all sessions. As seats fill, we will assess if more sessions are needed. 

We have revamped our PMP Training for Supervisors and are holding our second session on March 14th with Michale S. Tallon, Director of Employee/Labor Relations. If you are a new supervisor looking for training in anticipation of giving your first PMP, or a seasoned manager looking for a refresher, this is the training for you! If the session is full, please reach out to hrtraining@umbc.edu and we will let you know when more sessions are scheduled. 

Looking ahead to April, our focus on preparing supervisors and staff for the performance management process continues with curated webinars on Strategies & Tactics to Navigate Difficult Conversations on April 5th and Workplace Wellness that Works for Everyone on April 12th. April is also Stress Awareness Month. We will be offering a series on Stress Awareness and strategies to identify, manage, and overcome stress in our work and home lives. More on that coming up!

Please share the attached flier with all that we may be able to serve. 

Happy Learning!

Help us support student wellbeing! #BlackandGoldRush

On March 1-2, 2023, we call upon Retrievers everywhere to join us for Black & Gold Rush, 36 Hours of Giving, by making a gift of any size to support any area that means the most to you. Our goal this year is ambitious -- 3,000 donors in 36 hours -- and every donation helps UMBC provide students with the tools they need to become leaders and to reach their full potential.

Retriever Integrated Health - Your gift helps support programs that help students, faculty, and staff to respond to student mental health needs, and programs to support student health and well-being. Please write in UHS and Counseling on the donation form. You can also donate at https://bit.ly/RetrieverIntegratedHealth23 .

In addition, please consider making contributions to other programs and initiatives with the Division of Student Affairs that support student health and well-being, help students become involved, and help students develop skills for leading others. We want every student to thrive at UMBC and as alumni.

Division of Student Affairs departments work together and with campus partners to support student health and well-being, including helping students to become involved, develop skills for leading others and creating a group of friends and community. We want every student to thrive at UMBC and as alumni.

As we return to the physical campus, we want to strengthen our community and ensure students have the support they need. This means finding ways to rebuild and expand our resources and programs. 

What can we do in 36 hours? Contribute to #UMBC #BlackAndGoldRush and see what's possible when we work together. Here are a few of the ways you can support students:

Other Funds that Support Health and Well-Being 

Peer Health Educators - Your gift helps support an internship program for undergraduate and graduate students to become nationally certified in health-related topics and provide programs for the UMBC community, especially students. Please write in Health Promotion on the donation form.

Retriever Essentials -Your gift helps eliminate the burden of food insecurity for UMBC members and connects them to ongoing support networks, in order to enhance their academic retention and career success. 

Stay Black and Gold Emergency Fund - Your gift helps provide short-term financial assistance (tuition and fees) for current UMBC students who find it difficult or impossible to continue their education due to an emergency or sudden unforeseen circumstances. 

Funds that Help Build Community

Campus Life Student Organizations- Your gift will help provide opportunities to promote student engagement through club and organization development and student leadership training. 

Center for Democracy and Civic Life - Your gift will support students' participation in experiences that empower them to be effective and collaborative leaders and changemakers in their communities. These experiences include STRiVE and Alternative Spring Break.

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (i3b) - In addition to supporting students finding belonging in identity-based spaces across campus, your gift will fund programs that help students develop the skills needed to dialogue across differences and become more equitable and inclusive community leaders. When you give to the i3b fund, you support programs like Interact Dialogues Program, Your Story Belongs Here programming, and annual graduation celebrations like the Lavender Graduation & Scholarship and the Multicultural Graduation Celebration.Individuals can also specifically support LGBTQ Outreach support and programming by giving to the LGBTQ Outreach fund.

MAS has created a new training short to explore The Importance of Inventory.

While many of us are still performing our physical inventory count for the year, we ask that you take a few minutes to watch the video, which features a $40 million fraud case, and a little something closer to home. 

MAS has several training shorts available, as well as self-study sessions in Ethics and Internal Controls. 

As always please reach out to MASInquiry@umbc.edu for questions or assistance.

Happy American Heart Health Month and the start of a new semester! 

In February, our wellness initiative is focused on heart health and we offer a Cardio 101 class with Alea Burke in the RAC for all ages and life stages.  We continue our Work-Life Wellbeing series with a custom built program on Discovering Your Work-Life Balance based on focus group feedback. We also continue our Communication series with Active Listening, a session in collaboration with Bowie State. 

February Training Calendar
Attached is a PDF of our February Training Opportunities. This PDF has links to register for each of the events listed. We look forward to seeing you at many of these events to engage you in our community of learning.
A few events of particular note in our February calendar are: 


We continue our series on Work-Life Wellbeing. Throughout the spring, we will have one event per month that will focus on the balance we all strive to hold between our work lives and our home lives. February will focus on that integration of the two facets of our lives with Work-Life Wellbeing: Discovering Your Work-Life Balance.  This is an experiential 3-hour session that moves the participant from abstract to creating an individualized plan of action. 


We have revamped our PMP Training for Supervisors and are rolling out sessions on both February 16th and March 14th with Michale S. Tallon, Director of Employee/Labor Relations. If you are a new supervisor looking for training in anticipation of giving your first PMP, or a seasoned manager looking for a refresher, this is the training for you!


Also in February, we will continue our series on communication skills with Active Listening. This session is a collaboration with Mary Ogan from Bowie State and will be open to both campuses. 


Coming up in March, our collaboration with the USM Learning & Talent Development Committee will bring a mini-conference on Performance Review Prep! This half day mini-conference pulls sessions from our EAP Provider, Guidance Resources and ComPsych and includes sessions for both supervisors and their staff to get ready for productive PMP discussions. 

Happy Learning!
