<Title>How I Celebrate Chinese New Year!</Title>
<Tagline>Guess who's excited?? Me!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, is coming up quite rapidly!! It has been celebrated for thousands of years, but I won’t bore you with the history. In my family, it is tradition to get together and celebrate with each other, honor our ancestors, and eat plenty of homemade food! We actually celebrate it the day or night before the actual day of the new year, so this year we are celebrating on the 15th of February. Since it is based off of the lunar calendar, the dates always differ each year which gets super confusing. Everyone may celebrate it differently, but for me, the main focus is to relax and eat everything my grandma puts in front of me. This year’s celebration is extra special to me because it falls on my birthday: February 15th!! I hope everyone who chooses to celebrate receives plenty of red envelopes (traditionally filled with money!) and enjoys a variety of yummy food. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>But enough about me, I want to also mention what our students are doing to celebrate Chinese New Year. The Chinese Student Association (CSA) is hosting a Lunar New Year Gala on February 15th, from 7:30 to 9:30pm in the UC Ballroom, open and free for anyone to attend so definitely check it out if you want. Furthermore, Mosaic is hosting an event titled “So...What is ‘Good’ English?” discussing the origins of the variety of American English dialects and the superiority of what is considered “standard English” on the same day, 2/15, from 5:30-7pm in Commons 329. If you find yourself with a some free time tomorrow, please come by to either OR BOTH of these events!</div>

<Title>Innovations that came from university research: The Polaroid</Title>
<Tagline>Become a URA Scholar and Invent/Create Something!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Did you know?</span><div>
    <span>American scientist and <span>inventor</span> Edwin Land was fascinated by developing an inexpensive method that used polarizing filters to capture and develop images instantly on film. He would conduct much of his research by sneaking into Columbia <span>University</span>’s labs in New York City </span><span>at night to use the equipment, later returning to Harvard to further his research. He would go on to found Polaroid Corporation  in 1948 with one of his physics instructors, which would become a highly successful business. </span><span>Polaroid also invented and manufactured an instant movie camera system called Polavision</span><span>. The kit included a camera, film, and a movie viewer. When the movie was shot, it would be taken out of the camera and then inserted into the viewer for development, then viewed after development. This format was close to Super 8mm film</span><span><span>. Because it lacked </span><span>audio</span><span> capability, </span></span><span> and </span><span>with the advent of VHS video recorders, Polavision had a short history.</span>

<Title>The Path Before Me</Title>
<Tagline>"College Coaching" by UMBC Students</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>UMBC's college access/readiness program,<strong> </strong><em>Path Before Me</em>, is actively recruiting Spring volunteers. The hope is to have students placed in site schools by the end of February. Volunteers will work in city schools, providing "college coaching" to high school juniors. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Last semester, there were 13 student volunteers who held over 100 individual coaching sessions with these high school students. The youth feedback about the experience was great.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>If you, or anyone you know is interested--or if you have questions-- contact Frank Anderson at <u><a href="mailto:afrank3@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">afrank3@umbc.edu</a>. </u></strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>To begin tutoring, you will need to register through the Shriver Center.</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div><u><strong>What you do:</strong></u></div>
    <div>
    <em><strong>"Coach" high school juniors </strong>around the SAT, the college application process and experience. You will meet either in small groups, or one on one with your mentee, at their schools. Snacks are provided, as well as mentoring materials, and an on site coordinator. </em><em>You can volunteer at one or two sites, if interested. </em>
    </div>
    <div>
    <div><em><strong><br></strong></em></div>
    <div><em><strong>City--</strong>will focus very closely on SAT Prep. The school has material for us to use, which includes practice problems and building study skills. </em></div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div><em><strong>Ben Franklin and Poly--</strong>will focus more holistically on the college process, including essay writing, the application, the college experience, and the SAT. </em></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div><strong><u>Times:</u></strong></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Tuesdays </strong>2:30p-5p (City College)</div>
    <div>
    <strong>Wednesdays </strong>2:30p-5p (Ben Franklin)</div>
    <div>
    <strong>Thursdays </strong>10a-1p (Poly)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong><u>Transportation:</u></strong></div>
    <div><em>Frank will work to designate one student from each school site to be responsible for driving and taking a greater leadership role within the group, making them eligible for a $500 stipend. This student can drive their own car, or the Shriver Van. Leaders are still needed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The goal is to begin at the end of February. </em></div>

    <p><span>Dedicated UMBC colleagues across departments, colleges, and
    disciplines having been digging deep into "applied learning
    experiences" and what means at UMBC. This includes identifying
    stakeholders, criteria, and a definition:</span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <blockquote><p><em><span>A UMBC applied learning
    experience engages students in reflectively developing knowledge, attitudes,
    skills, and values in the traditional classroom setting or in contexts beyond
    the classroom. Applied learning experiences promote career readiness and
    responsible citizenship. </span></em></p></blockquote>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Recognized applied learning experiences include
    service-learning, which can be secured through The Shriver Center’s 096
    Community Service &amp; Learning Practicum. Dr. Thomas Penniston, Shriver
    Peaceworker Fellow Program alumnus, successfully completed his doctoral program
    in Language, Literacy and Culture on the benefits of service-learning through qualitative
    and quantitative research. To learn more, go to <a href="https://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/engaged-scholarships/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>https://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/engaged-scholarships/</span></a></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>At the beginning of the 3<sup>rd</sup> week of the spring
    semester, some sites have filled, but others have great needs. With close to 70
    community partners (the majority being youth-based sites), we are seeking UMBC
    students to help partners build capacity and move their respective missions.</span></p>
