<Title>OSP Spring Break Deadlines</Title>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>MEMORANDUM</strong></p>
    
    <p><span>DATE:             3/11/2025</span></p>
    
    <p><span>TO:  </span>               
    Business Managers/Department Chairs/Center Directors<span>/</span>Faculty</p>
    
    <p>FROM:<span>           
    </span>Michael T. Walsh, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs </p>
    
    <p>RE:<span>                 
    </span>OSP Spring Break Deadlines: March 17-2025-March 19,2025</p>
    
    <p><span>_____________________________________________________________</span></p>
    
    <p><span>Due to several recent inquiries on this topic, OSP is now
    publishing this special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for reviewing/approving
    proposals with deadlines to Federal, State, and Other Agencies that occur
    during UMBC's Spring Break this year. </span></p>
    
    <p><span>UMBC will be closed for a "University Holiday"
    on Monday March 17<sup>th</sup> through Wednesday March 19<sup>th</sup> <sup>t</sup>
    and will re-open on Thursday March 20<sup>d</sup>.</span> Since UMBC is closed
    during these three days, OSP will also be closed and OSP personnel will not be
    available during the Spring Break holidays for consultation or proposal
    submission(s). </p>
    
    <p><span>Please note the following:</span></p>
    
    <p><span>1.     </span>All proposals with
    submission <strong><u>deadlines occurring on Monday March 17, 2025 and/or
    Tuesday March 18, 2025 </u></strong>must be <em>fully routed, ready for
    submission, and released </em><span>to the OSP office for final
    review and submission by</span><strong> 9 AM on Friday March 14, 2025</strong><span>.</span></p>
    
    <p><span><strong>2.      </strong></span>Thus,
    proposals that have a 3/17, 3/18, or 3/19 submission date will be submitted on
    3/14.  Therefore, one should have their routing and proposal materials
    (SOW, budget, bios, C&amp;P,etc.) submitted to OSP no later than <strong><u>9
    AM on Wedneday March 12<sup>th. </sup></u></strong><span> </span>Technically, this allows for one extra day for
    routing (as the routing policy calls for three business days, not two, for OSP
    review).</p>
    
    <p>Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed
    on a first-come/first-serve basis and will be submitted only if time
    permits.  In keeping with the deadline enforcement policy of ORCA (Office
    of the Vice President for Research &amp; Creative Achievement), any proposal
    not fully routed and ready for submission by 9:00 AM of the deadline date (3/14/25)
    will not be submitted to the agency.  </p>
    
    <p>Best Regards,</p>
    
    <p>Dr. Michael T. Walsh</p>
    
    <p>Director</p>

<Title>UMBC&#8217;s Interfaith Fellows and Bridge Builders Programs in Interfaith America Article</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>UMBC’s Interfaith Fellows and Bridge Builders Programs were mentioned in the </span><a href="https://www.interfaithamerica.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><em>Interfaith America</em></span></a><span> article, </span><a href="https://www.interfaithamerica.org/article/advancing-religious-pluralism-grantees/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>“Working Toward Interfaith Harmony in the US: Advancing Religious Pluralism on College Campuses</span></a><span>.” </span></p>
    <p><span>In February 2024, </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/vpsa/posts/138621" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>UMBC was awarded a $30,000 Advancing Religious Pluralism Grant by Interfaith America to "further interfaith cooperation and learning on campus."</span></a><span> UMBC is using the grant to develop two programs: the Interfaith Fellows Program and the Bridge Builders Program, a program co-sponsored with the Center for Social Justice Dialogue.</span></p>
    <p><span>The article includes descriptions of the two programs: “On the East Coast, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), has developed two bedrock programs that will expand their interfaith offerings. The Interfaith Fellows Program equips students with practical skills and knowledge to help them develop leadership skills and invites them to create programs to shape UMBC’s interfaith community, while Bridge Builders is a cohort-based “difficult dialogue” program that has begun to shift campus conversations around religion and world events and inspired increased collaboration between student organizations on campus.” </span></p>
    <p><span>Matt Hoffman, director of the new Center for Religion, Spirituality, &amp; Pluralism, serves as team leader for these initiatives. </span><span>“So far, we have seen tremendous student response to these programs,” Hoffman shares. “Our Interfaith Fellows will be putting on a series of events this semester during Interfaith Week, April 21 through 25, to showcase their learning and personalized approaches to interfaith work. Graduates from the Bridge Builders cohort from the fall are already finding ways to incorporate dialogue work into their engagement on campus, including an upcoming interfaith shabbat event in April. Our second cohort of the Bridge Builders program just launched with eight new students.”</span></p>
    <p><span><em>Look for announcement about the Center in the near future.</em></span></p>
