<Tagline>Something to consider</Tagline>

    <div>Some of the financial certifications allow you to take some of the exams</div>
    <div>while a student in your senior year. Some of you may have time to do this during the summer and fall as other opportunities have not materialized. This might be a good time to prepare to take one of the certification exams later in 2020 or in 2021. Having successfully passed a part of one of these exams is a definite resume booster for competitive entry-level positions. </div>
    <div>Also, reduced fees and/or scholarships are available for students.</div>
    <div>More information can be found about the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and CMA (Certified Management Accountant) exams in the links below.</div>
    <div>The CFA is relevant to pursue an investment management career. The CMA is relevant to pursue a corporate financial management career.</div>

<Title>Access to Belongings in Academic Buildings</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>We are hopeful each of you continue to remain safe and healthy during the unprecedented times.  These are unusual circumstances we all find ourselves in, and much like you, we continue to learn about our new realities daily; however, during all of this, our top priority is to continue to serve your needs.</span></div>
    <div><div><div>
    <div>
    <br><p><span>We are aware that many of you have personal belongings in the academic buildings that you would like to retrieve. The colleges are working together to explore ways to help this happen safely and efficiently while maintaining social distancing standards. This is a multilayered process that will not be able to begin until UMBC is prepared to provide appropriate coordination of access and sanitation around campus; these coordination efforts will include members of the UMBC Police, college and university building managers, and Environmental Safety and H</span><span>ealth.  Keeping that in mind we want to be proactive in our planning so we are able to initiate the process as soon as we are given the go ahead from the Governor and campus officials.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>The first step in our process requires your input so we can plan appropriately based on your needs. If you have items in departmental areas, offices, or labs that you would like to retrieve prior to classes being back on campus please complete the Google Form on the website noted below. </span><span> We will use the information you provide to develop an access timeline that can be implemented at a later date. As this timeline is finalized we will be in touch to schedule your access time.  We are also exploring alternative methods for returning your belongings, which are included in the questionnaire.</span></p>

<Title>Special Social Science Undergrad Research Awards</Title>

    <div>
    <span>Social Science URAs provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate researchers whose work, in collaboration with a faculty mentor, uses social science to explore the world or address socially relevant concerns. Recipients agree to present their work as part of an URCAD panel and other groups of social science students at UMBC. To be eligible for a Social Science URA, you must be enrolled as a UMBC student for the duration of the work proposed and must adhere to all the requirements of the URA program. For more information, contact Christine Mallinson, Director, Center for Science Scholarship, via email at </span><a href="mailto:socialscience@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">socialscience@umbc.edu</a><span>.</span><br>

    <h6>*Special information related to Covid-19:</h6>
    <p>There are many changes happening to student research as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and campus closure. The URA selection committee has some advice to encourage you to apply for a URA and start to plan your research, even if there are some unknowns for the summer and fall semesters.</p>
    <ol>
    <li>We have moved the application deadline back to May 15, 2020, in order to give students some extra time to prepare their research proposals.</li>
    <li>Some research that was scheduled to start this summer may be delayed until the fall or spring semester- that’s ok! The URA is good for the entire year, June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2121. You can complete the research at any point during that time frame.</li>
    <li>Our expectations for a final product are fluid and relaxed. If the research plan doesn’t work out exactly as you proposed, that’s ok- it’s the nature of doing research.</li>
    <li>Be creative in the ways you think about your project. You may have to focus instead on doing a thorough literature review, using a pre-formed data set to analyze, or looking at case studies, rather than collecting in-person data, or conducting research in a lab.</li>
    <li>Methods such as lab benchwork, participant observations, focus groups, travel-related, in-person interviews, or other real-time collection methods may need some re-thinking. How can you collect data via online interviews, the internet, or other technological interventions?</li>
    <li>Creative arts projects may incorporate some kind of online delivery method. We are hoping to be back on campus for URCAD 2021, but consider how VoiceThread might be used to display your creative work.</li>
    </ol>
    <p><span>Deadline: May 15, 2020</span><br></p>
    <p>Applications require a research proposal and mentor statement of support.</p>
    <p>Speciality URAs will be awarded to Social Scientists and Entrepreneurs- see below for more details. <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/ura" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ur.umbc.edu/ura</a></p>
