Advisors are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per afternoon session and $50 per evening or morning session, with the opportunity to work several sessions during the month. Participants are also eligible to earn the Orientation Advisor microcredential! More information on microcredentials and Digital Badging can be found here: https://badges.umbc.edu/

What is the Exempt Staff Senate (ESS)? The Exempt Staff Senate is a committee of dedicated staff who advocate for the well-being of all exempt staff across UMBC to the administration. The Senate will work to provide creative solutions to the challenges staff are facing. The Senate builds relationships throughout all areas of the campus to uplift the whole community and advance our institution. We do this by developing thoughtful programming and events that support our campus community, promoting personal and professional development opportunities, facilitating communication of staff interests between campus leadership and our constituents, and by building a network of staff committed to supporting one another and UMBC as a community.


What is the Council of University System Staff (CUSS)? Staff serving on the Council represent all staff at UMBC at the system-level. Council representatives and alternates report to the Chancellor and Presidents and share staff concerns across the University System of Maryland (USM). CUSS representatives must have one year of experience in USM shared governance to run for a position. Contact Roy Prouty, CUSS Representative (proutyr1@umbc.edu) with any questions or concerns.

The UMBC Research and Creative Achievement (RCA) Council invite you to participate in the:

UMBC Research Climate Survey


This anonymous survey will provide university leaders with useful information, including suggestions on how to better focus their efforts in support of faculty-led research. The survey questions are inspired in part by input collected in the 2023 UMBC Bold: Campus Conversations.

The survey is designed for faculty members with PI eligibility who have experience with proposal submissions and grant management. If you have questions regarding the climate survey, please contact RCAC chair Dr. Jianwu Wang. Contact information for the RCA Council can be found at https://research.umbc.edu/rca-council/.

Advising Office has Summer Work Opportunities for Faculty, Staff, Grad Students!


The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Summer Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming undergraduate students VIRTUALLY during the months of June-August in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary!

Besides compensation, this is a rare chance for:
  • Graduate students – to gain professional and interpersonal experience. Depending on your field, your time as a student may not open you up to many client-facing interactions, and this is a pathway to gaining that experience. If you are considering a career in academia, meanwhile, advising experience is highly sought-after in faculty openings.
  • Part-time faculty – to gain advising experience, highly sought-after in faculty openings, as well as to interact with students outside of the classroom. As an adjunct faculty member myself, I can absolutely say that my teaching effectiveness has been augmented by my advising experience.
  • Full-time faculty and staff – to begin to engage with your department’s incoming students at the earliest possible juncture: to give them the best possible head start in their studies (and to make your own future advising appointments easier!).
  • Staff – to engage in professional development in ways that may not be otherwise available, and then bring those skills back to your home department. Orientation advising requires and trains diverse skillsets, such as one-on-one academic advising and counseling, university-wide policies and protocols, inter-office collaboration, and much more!
Graduate students, full-time faculty, and part-time faculty are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per afternoon session and $50 per evening or morning session; full-time faculty are compensated through a budget transfer to their departments. Staff are not eligible for additional compensation -- see below for more information.

Participants are eligible to earn the Orientation Advisor microcredential! More information on microcredentials and Digital Badging can be found here: https://badges.umbc.edu/

Staff are especially encouraged to apply. As Orientation normally happens during business hours, we cannot compensate you separately for Orientation Advising activities, but request that you be excused from other duties to make time for advising. I would be pleased to speak with your supervisor to discuss these logistics. Even participating for just two or three days over the Summer is a help to us, requires only a few hours of your time in total and can be a big benefit to your department. It can also be of great benefit to you personally -- consider the time commitment comparable to that of attending a conference, except that you may also earn a formal microcredential for your participation!

We are offering informational sessions for anyone interested or who even just MIGHT be interested in finding out about this exciting opportunity to expand their skillsets, make meaningful connections, serve their departments, and get paid! No RSVP necessary.
For additional details, see the application HERE, which is due by March 19.
