What does the Associate Director of Prove It! do?
Apply today for a leadership position with SGA!
We're hoping to answer some of your questions about the changes to the SGA Executive Branch through a series of myUMBC posts. Don't forget to apply at sga.umbc.edu/apply by Friday, August 17th at 5pm!
What does the Associate Director of Special Projects & Flagship Initiatives, Prove It! do?
The Associate Director of Special Projects & Flagship Initiatives, Prove It! is responsible for implementing SGA's annual idea competition, Prove It! This flagship initiative awards up to $10,000 to student groups that are seeking to to bring positive change to campus. The Associate Director will work with campus administrators to create a vetting process that determines the practicality of the submitted initiatives, administer the Prove It! election, determine how the program can be improved, and develop plans to sustain this initiative for the foreseeable future.
What are the time commitments for the Associate Director of Special Projects & Flagship Initiatives, Prove It!?
The regular time commitments of the Director of Special Projects & Flagship Initiatives greatly vary. During the Fall semester, the Associate Director will spend time working with administrators about how Prove It! can change and be improved upon, and will also identify students/student groups that may be interested in submitting a proposal to Prove It! During Spring semester, the Associate Director should expect a heavy work flow as this is the peak time for Prove It! - the submission of applications, the screening process, the election, and the announcement of the winner. However, SGA work should not get in the way of self-care time and studying for your classes - you come first!
What do you get in return as the Associate Director of Special Projects & Flagship Initiatives, Prove It!?
This is the perfect opportunity to make your mark on the UMBC community, and work with students, faculty, staff, and administrators to make meaningful change for years to come. This is an excellent venue to work on project management skills, strategic and big-picture thinking, while following through on a project.
How do I apply to be the Coordinator of Social Media & Web Development, or any other positions in SGA?
Easy! Go to
sga.umbc.edu/apply and click on the position you are interested in applying for.
Applications are due on Friday, August 17th at 5pm.
So I'm trying to get a house together with a bunch of my friends, and we all kinda miss the college vibes, so we're looking to be in that environment again where we can all just hang out. We're looking for someone who is clean, responsible, but fun; someone who will hangout with us and not just go to their room and stay to him/herself
Someone who gets along with people easily, and likes to have a good time, but can just buckle down and get things done, do chores, and knows how to clean up after themselves. We're all working professionals.
We really prefer a clean environment. We're looking for a range where a person would pay like 300ish, plus a security deposit. We're also looking for a location near UMBC, somewhere either arbutus, halethorpe, or elkridge. If you're interested, please txt me, Patrick Lee at 907.250.7806

Remembering Dr. Lowell Groninger
Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychology
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
Dr. Lowell Groninger, Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychology, passed away on July 14.
Lowell completed his B.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Illinois before joining the UMBC faculty in 1968. An expert in cognitive and experimental psychology, Lowell completed important studies on the use of imagery as a mnemonic device, the influence of autobiographical reference in memories, and memory for faces and names. Lowell also collaborated on the development and standardization of neuropsychological assessment instruments, including the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. After 43 years of dedicated service, Lowell retired from the UMBC Psychology Department in 2011, and continued to teach Cognitive Psychology on a part-time basis for a number of years after that.
Colleagues remember Lowell as a remarkably kind, thoughtful, sensitive, and generous colleague whose indomitable spirit and levelheadedness were crucially important to the development of the department. Lowell possessed an infectious sense of humor, abundant wisdom, and deep integrity.
Christopher Murphy, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology

Kirwan Center to Submit Proposal for Federal OER Grant
Seeking Groups/Individuals from Institutions to Participate
The USM Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation is planning to submit a proposal to the Department of Education’s Applications for New Awards; Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education – Open Textbooks Pilot Program as part of the Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) initiative http://www.usmd.edu/cai/MOST.
As the Request for Proposals states, the Open Textbooks Pilot program “supports projects at institutions of higher education (IHEs) that create new open textbooks or expand their use of open textbooks while maintaining or improving instruction and student learning outcomes.” The RFP outlines three absolute priorities:
- Improving collaboration and dissemination through consortia arrangements;
-
Addressing gaps in the open textbook marketplace and bringing solutions to scale; and
- Promoting degree completion by creating OERs across multiple courses in a program sequence.
A competitive preference priority involves using technology-based strategies for personalized learning and continuous improvement, which the Kirwan Center plans to address as well.
The Kirwan Center's initial aim through this proposal will be to identify and organize partners—two-year and four-year institutions of higher education as well as relevant industry and non-profit partners—to contribute to the curation, creation, and vetting of openly licensed, fully accessible instructional materials for healthcare programs (such as pharmacy, nursing, and the like)
where little OER exists currently and, by so doing, also stand up a more systematic and sustainable development process for other high-demand, low-OER fields.
Watch a recording of the High-impact OER Mini-Grant informational webinar to learn more about the program.
The Kirwan Center is excited to pursue this opportunity. If there are individuals or groups that might be interested in the proposed project, or if you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. MJ Bishop, Director of the Kirwan Center, at mjbishop@usmd.edu.
NOTE: Per the federal registry for this grant, the deadline for proposals is August 29, 2019.
