<Title>Reminder: Great Colleges Survey Due March 28</Title>
<Tagline>Share your thoughts on why UMBC is a great workplace</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This is just a reminder that UMBC is participating in the annual Great Colleges to Work For program, a national survey designed to recognize institutions that have built great workplaces. Regardless of whether or not we are recognized, the data we receive is helpful as we continue the process of creating the best workplace possible.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The survey was distributed to a random selection of our faculty and staff in early March and will be distributed again at random today. If you are included in this random sample, you will receive an invitation with details about the program and how to access the survey. This invitation will be sent to you via an email from Great Colleges.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you receive the invitation, please take a moment to complete the survey. We hope to reach a 34 percent response rate from our community members, but we have a way to go. You will be representing not only yourself, but all your colleagues, so your feedback is invaluable! This is a chance to make your voice heard, and a high response rate helps ensure an accurate representation of our community. At the close of the program, we will receive reports that summarize the organizational competencies and relationships that most directly impact and influence our culture.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The survey is voluntary and completely confidential; our institution will not be able to trace results back to individuals. Your survey will be processed by ModernThink LLC, an independent management consulting firm focusing on workplace quality in higher education. They can be reached at 888-684-4658 or at <a href="mailto:surveys@modernthink.net">surveys@modernthink.net</a>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you are invited, we hope you will take this opportunity to share your honest feedback! Thank you, in advance, for your participation. Please visit <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty-staff/posts/147673/13/77fade915e52ef1c11be910f76b57052/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fmy3.my.umbc.edu%2Fgroups%2Fannouncements-faculty-staff%2Fposts%2F139098%2F13%2F737942526e2ddddc461c0a201335c52d%2Fweb%2Flink%3Flink%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.GreatCollegesProgram.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Great Colleges</a> for more resources or if you have any questions.</div>

    <div><div><span><p><span>Publishing your work is considered one of the primary pillars of a research project, graduate students are often hunted by policies and recommendations to publish several papers as part of their graduate experience, some use their publications as part of their thesis or dissertation and some programs even require students to be a first author in order to be considered for graduation from a PhD program. </span></p>
    <br><p><span>How do you even start the process of writing a publication? What are impact factors and how do you decide if your data is impactful enough to be submitted to a particular publication or journal? We have invited a panel of productive and avid publishing faculty at UMBC from our CAHSS college to talk about these and other topics, the intention of this event is to demystify the publishing hardship, learn how to overcome perfectionism (when is my paper ready to be submitted for publication?), learn how to process criticism, how to manage your time to be more productive (when am I supposed to find the time to sit down and write?), how to overcome writers block, and more.</span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>Join for a discussion with our panelists:</span></p>

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligence" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Generative AI</strong></a> has the potential to improve user search experiences by supporting natural language querying and providing more detailed and domain-specific responses. UMBC is seeking to provide this convenience to myUMBC users through the <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/147188" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>myUMBC Answers</strong></a> system, which enables users to access both personal and UMBC services information from the myUMBC search bar. In this talk, we investigate the resiliency of Answers against several common generative AI attacks that were performed by the UMBC Scholarship for Service (SFS) scholars in collaboration with other students and the UMBC Division of Information Technology (DoIT). We first provide an overview of the study and the myUMBC Answers system before discussing the types of attacks which were launched against the system. We then explore the behavior of the Answers system in response to these attacks. Finally, we outline the recommendations provided to DoIT by the study participants to improve the security and user experience of myUMBC Answers.</div>
