UMBC Special Collections' Maryland Tradition Archive Presents its Annual Digitization Day
Saturday, April 26 11:30am-3PM
The MTA is hosting its second annual Digitization Day for the Ashley
Minner collection. Ashley's collection focuses on the Lumbee
migration from North Carolina to Baltimore during the mid-twentieth
century. This community archiving event is an opportunity for the
community to share their history, preserve their materials, and help
grow the American Indian archive in the Baltimore region. This year we
will have six scanning stations for photos and documents which will
capture metadata and recorded individual short stories, a longer format
oral history station, as well as an information station for the
collection and for MARMIA's AV digitization.
The event will be held off campus on:
Saturday, April 26 11:30am-3PM
South Broadway Baptist Church
211 S. Broadway, Baltimore MD 21231
This event is free and open to the public. For more information or to inquire about volunteering, please contact
Mark Breeding.

Retriever Essentials UMBC Cookbook
Flavors that inspire, recipes to admire. It's finally here!
The moment we've all been waiting for, a whole year in the making, in all its beauty and glory, the Retriever Essentials Cookbook has arrived!
Before we continue, we'd like to give our appreciation to everyone who've helped us make this dream project a reality. Students and faculty who submitted recipes, partnerships that helped us grow and expand throughout the UMBC community, commonvision putting time and effort making such an amazing design with organizing all the recipes and pictures, and so much more. Although the cookbook was initiated and managed by Michael since fall of 202, this was a whole community effort, and we're just as excited as you guys to finally see it!
This cookbook has 75 pages featuring 44 heartfelt recipes, infused with love and passion with flavors all over the world! In addition, we provided recipes that can be made with common Retriever Essentials ingredients that we have in our pantry and can also be commonly seen at our Free Farmer's Markets!
While we plan on doing a release of the cookbook for purchase in the very near future, we are not selling them at the essentials space, the free farmers market, or anywhere as of right now. However, there will be a second posting about all of the information (date, time, place, etc.) in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!
Not in regards to the cookbook, but if you or anyone you know would like to donate whether that be food items like cans, snacks, etc., or even donate your time, feel free to reach out to us at
retrieveressentials@umbc.edu.
Again, we express our sincerest thanks to the UMBC Community, and we'll continue to do our utmost best in battling food insecurity.
All the best,
The Retriever Essentials Team

URCAD Sneak Peek: Marelen Acevedo Soto
An immersive experience of music, animation, and visual art
UMBC- Are you ready to dance????
VJ-ing in the Ballroom from 2-2:30pm on April 16th at URCAD, Marelen Soto has created an interactive multidimensional mural that will make you move, think, and feel. Come experience this live performance and move your body in any way it wants to go!
Multi-Dimensional Mural: A Live Performance of Art, Sound, and Movement
Presenters: Marelen Soto, David Cobb Jr , Maria Fernanda Diaz Miranda, Justine Gaylord
Mentor: Corrie Parks, Visual Arts
Abstract
As a fine artist and muralist, I’ve often observed that despite the initial awe and admiration my completed works evoke, those feelings tend to fade from people’s memories quickly. This project aims to elevate static artwork into a dynamic performance that resonates deeply with viewers. By integrating music, movement, and visual art, I hope to foster a shared experience that becomes ingrained in collective memory, enriching our understanding of humanity’s creative expression.
Coming from the Dominican Republic and living in America has shaped my perspective as an Afro-Latina not only through music and art but also socially, politically, culturally, and ethically. This artwork represents not only my own identity but also the world around me. It reflects the ongoing struggles both internal (personal) and external (environmental) that affect my body, mind, and spirit. The selected music serves as an empowering force, connecting me to my roots and driving the emotional rhythm of the performance. My wish is for my art to bring joy and empowerment to communities. A distinctive feature of this work is the live performance, where each piece of animation will be synchronized with the rhythm of the music, creating an interactive, immersive experience.
2-2:30pm, UC Ballroom
This work was funded, in part, through an Undergraduate Research Award from the UMBC Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs.

LOOKING FOR A ROOMMATE!
Private 1 bed & connected bathroom
A 23 year old F looking to share a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment in the Lenore Apartment complex (Downtown, Baltimore), preferably with a 22-30 year old F. Apartment would come with: AC, dishwasher, built in laundry, private bathroom & closet, front security, and internet. The living room is furnished, but the bed and bathroom will not be. (I've attached images of the apartment, if interested!)
Monthly rent would be $777, not including utilities (but that's usually ~$130 total). Not opposed to potential roommates having pets, but please know there is a pet fee for this apartment complex. Looking for someone clean, friendly, and can be responsible when needed. My deadline for this is by the end of this month (April), so please text/email me ASAP if you're interested!

Gauging the health of campus vegetation from above

Check out GES 286's weather balloons in the UC Ballroom at URCAD on April 16th!
Assessing Campus Vegetation From Above
Presenters: Paige Fullerton, Brian Hughes, Neil Taylor, Sarah Armstrong, Cheyenne Nickerson
Mentor: Charlie Kaylor, Geography and Environmental Systems
1-2pm
UC Ballroom
Abstract
This presentation will present the method and findings from an ongoing effort by the GES 286 course to gauge the health of campus vegetation. Students collect data necessary to derive the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) by sending tethered weather balloons with a payload of two cameras (one color; the other, infrared) 450 feet above campus to observe vegetation at different locations on the UMBC campus. Results are then georeferenced using Geographic Information Systems to generate the NDVI using “map algebra”. This approach is analogous to imaging techniques used for research and policy purposes, introducing students to the data models and techniques used in remote sensing generally. Ultimately, by imaging repeatedly, we can observe how the overall health of campus vegetation changes seasonally and over time.
For more info on the ongoing research project, see the UMBC News story at:
