<Title>Lindsay Loeper on the history of UMBC's Free Hour</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">I believe understanding our shared history enables and empowers us to work together to build the UMBC of our hopes. “In the Archives” is my series highlighting the ways people have co-created this campus and its traditions. In response to my very first “In the Archives”, UMBC staff member Delana Gregg suggested that I write about the history of UMBC’s Free Hour, the hour without scheduled classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That struck me as a strange idea, because the free hour is, at face value, a gap in the schedule; the real story, it seemed to me, was what took place free hour: the club meetings, rehearsals, brainstorming and creative work. But as it turns out, free hour has a fascinating story of its own.

<Title>Registration is now open for Bmore Historic 2013: Sign up!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Bmore Historic is a participant-led unconference on public history, historic preservation and cultural heritage organized for professionals, volunteers, students and scholars in the Baltimore region and across the state of Maryland. Take a look at the session proposals from last year or 2011 and you will find ideas for discussions on topics as varied as preservation trades, digital and spatial humanities, and the best approaches to working with volunteers. Unlike a traditional academic or professional conference, an unconference like Bmore Historic is run by participants. We work together set the agenda for what’s discussed, lead the sessions that fill the schedule, and create an environment of innovation and productive discussion.<br><br>

<Title>Design a t-shirt for the AMST department!</Title>
<Tagline>Winning Prize: $100 Gift Card for the UMBC Bookstore!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <strong>Guidelines</strong>: Your design can use color, but should also be able to be printed in one color without substantial loss of impact. The designs should function in the traditional print landscape (PMS and process color as well as black and reversed versions) and should work equally well in the digital realm (RGB). Designs may incorporate our web address(umbc.edu/amst), or be such that the address could be easily and simply added. Designs need not spell out all words of the department’s name, although they may. The preferred abbreviation is “AMST”.<br><br><strong>How to Enter the Contest:</strong> Your entry of a t-shirt design as a PDF file, with your last name in the PDF file name. (The winner will submit more traditional graphic file formats at a later date). <br><br><strong>Entries Due:</strong> March 6, 2013 by 11:59pm. You may submit multiple entries if you wish. The contest is open to any current UMBC student. Final decisions on the design will be made by a group of AMST faculty, staff, and students.<br><br><strong>Information</strong>: AMST Department Chair T. S. Gonzalves, <a href="mailto:theo@umbc.edu">theo@umbc.edu</a><br><br>
