<Title>1st Annual GWST COMM Puppy Picnic</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The Gender and Women's Studies Program at UMBC is proud to announce that the 1st annual Puppy Picnic was a huge success! 
    
    In an effort to offer students at UMBC a reprieve from the stress of the last week of classes and impending finals week, the GWST Council of Majors, Minors and Certificates (GWST COMM) invited to campus <a href="http://www.dogsxlrescue.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>DogsXL</strong></a>, a local dog rescue specifically for large breeds. Several of these big "puppies" joined us on the Quad for a picnic, and lots of love and affection. DogsXL provided information about adoptions and foster opportunities, and at least one forever home was found at the event, with more to come. 
    
    The UMBC Mascot, True Grit, our own Chesapeake Bay Retriever, stopped by for a visit and played with the puppies from DogsXL, as well!
    
    Follow the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/UMBC-GWST-COM/194012360665236" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>GWST COMM Facebook page</strong></a> to see pictures of the dogs who visited, and to stay up to date on future events. Then be sure to look for us in the news on ABC2 and WBAL!</div>

<Title>SGA Looking for Sustainability Intern</Title>
<Tagline>Deadline to apply is May 14</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Hello INDS Majors,</p>
    <p>
        The Sustainability Intern program works within the UMBC Student Government Association (SGA) to facilitate action and awareness regarding sustainability at UMBC. Collaborating with students, faculty, facilities management and others the interns help to streamline the campuses sustainability efforts.  Together, four students focus on projects that help to reduce waste, increase energy efficiency, limit CO2 emissions, educate students, and facilitate positive environmental 
    change on campus.</p>
    <p>Although work hours are flexible and self-organized, students in this position are expected to put in approximately 10 hours of work a week. It is important that intern applicants have good time management skills and can work well independently in order to devote time and effort to this position that is required. For their work, interns are compensated $750 per semester.</p>
    <p>Interns will be working starting this fall (August) and continuing on until May of 2013. If you are unable to commit for a year, please explain why within your comments section of the application.</p>
