Voting closes Thursday night! (with updated link!)
(I have updated one of the links below, as it was incorrect in the first email.)


According to University System of Maryland policy, current GAs are entitled to "a graduate assistant advisory committee, to be comprised of graduate assistant members who will represent the interests of the institution’s graduate assistants" and who will "meet for discussions with campus administration, including the institution’s vice presidents for academic affairs and administration and the graduate dean, at least twice annually" (see Section VI, "Communication with Administration," of the current USM Policy on Graduate Assistantships at https://www.usmd.edu/regents/bylaws/SectionIII/III711.pdf).

This year we thought our current GAs should directly elect the Chair of GAAC ourselves rather than the Senate, some of whom are not GAs, electing someone on our behalf.


Accordingly, here are your candidates for this year's election:

Why did you choose to major in INDS?

I transferred to UMBC as a public health major after previously studying neuroscience, a field I was passionate about, at my former college. I initially chose public health under the assumption that UMBC did not offer neuroscience as a major. However, during my initial advising appointment, I discovered that neuroscience could be pursued through the Interdisciplinary Studies (INDS) program, which broadened my academic options and allowed me to consider returning to my preferred field of study. 

What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?

After graduation, I'm excited to take the next step by attending Physician Assistant school. My INDS degree in neuroscience has been incredibly valuable, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the brain and nervous system, along with a strong foundation in research and critical thinking. I'm looking forward to applying these skills in a healthcare setting, where I can make a positive impact on patients' lives. The interdisciplinary approach of my degree has not only prepared me well for PA school but also given me a unique perspective on how different fields intersect in healthcare. I'm eager to continue learning and growing in this field, and I'm confident that my background will serve me well as I work towards becoming a compassionate and effective healthcare provider.

Were you involved in any clubs or organizations? Did you hold any leadership positions? URCAD? URA? Off-campus internships? On-campus research experiences?

Make Inhaled Treatments Accessible for ALL. Illustration for World Asthma Day, showing a girl using an inhaler with a concerned expression. The background features a yellow arch and white daisies with orange centers around the bottom. Text above reads “World Asthma Day” and below reads “May 6, 2025.”

Today we recognize World Asthma Day 2025 with this year’s global theme: “Make Inhaled Treatments Accessible for ALL.”

Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide and causes more than 450,000 deaths annually, most of which are preventable. Inhaled corticosteroid-containing medications are essential for managing symptoms and preventing severe attacks, yet access to these treatments remains limited in many parts of the world due to high cost or lack of availability.

This year, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) is calling on healthcare professionals, governments, manufacturers, and policy makers to take urgent action to ensure that all individuals with asthma can access the medications they need to live healthy, full lives.

It’s also important to recognize that not all experiences of asthma or allergies rise to the level of a disability or create barriers in educational or work environments but for some, the symptoms can be severe enough that adjustments or alternatives are necessary. Awareness, flexibility, and equitable access are key to making spaces inclusive and supportive for all.

Together, we can reduce preventable hospitalizations and deaths, and create a world where asthma care is accessible, affordable, and informed by compassion and science.

We had an air handler lose a bearing last week, causing the belt drive to begin to smoke prior to failing completely. This incident allows me a good opportunity to remind everyone in the building to be proactive in calling the campus police after hours in the event of strange smells or noises from the building or suspicious behavior by people in the foyers, labs or classrooms of the building. 

The campus police can be reached with a campus phone at 5-5555 or on your cell phone at 410-455-5555. The police are well versed in alerting the correct offices in order to handle any type of incident or emergency.  

Thank you for your attention.
