Thanks to our supportive campus and awesome volunteers! No amount of rain could stop these 096 PRAC volunteers!

This semester we have NINE students enrolled in the zero credit 096 Practicum course through the Shriver Center, with their service site being Retriever Essentials!!


Yesterday was a busy day! No amount of rain deterred the cheer the students had while collecting donations throughout campus.


A big thank you to all of our supporters! Your donations keep us running. Right now we are still in need of the following items:
  • pasta sauce
  • brown rice
  • canned beans
  • canned meat
  • canvas bags (need to be big enough to fit a packed brown paper bag inside)
  • toothpaste and mouthwash
  • deodorant
  • chapstick

The Clothesline Project display on  Wednesday, October 3, 2018 from 10 AM- 4 pm in Commons Main Street.  

The Clothesline Project is a program that started back in 1990 and has been established “to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected byIMG_2185 violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt.” Here at UMBC we do this project twice a year – in October for Relationship Violence Awareness Month and in April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Survivors of sexual violence are welcome to decorate a shirt with their feelings and message. Then the shirts are anonymously hanged on a clothesline display, shoulder to shoulder in Commons Main Street “to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against [anyone].”

For the past three years that I have been part of UMBC community I have seen this project and its strong impact on the community. This is a great chance for anyone who has experienced violence to share their stories in a safe setting, and also practice self-care. Making these shirts is an act of therapy in its own way. Last semester for the first time, I made my own shirt. I shared my story with many people without putting my name out there. I was able to take a story out of my chest and feel so much lighter immediately.

As a student staff member at the Women’s Center and a Resident Assistant, I had the privilege of being involved with this project more closely. Last semester with the help of the Women’s Center and some of my Resident Assistant co-workers, we were able to hold another t-shirt-making event in the residential area. This event has happened before in the residential halls, but seeing the work in person was such a powerful experience. Seeing people coming in, making shirts, and sharing their stories shows how they trust us, which challenges us to provide the best support we can as Resident Assistants and Women’s Center community members.

I personally believe having this project on campus is a great opportunity for our UMBC community members to express their feelings about their experiences with sexual and gender-based violence.

Shirts and supplies will be available throughout the month of October for any survivors who wish to create a shirt that tells their own story. Shirt-making for the Clothesline Project is also available year-round in the Women’s Center.

Ghazal Ramezanifoukolaei is a Biological Sciences major, with minors in Psychology and Chemistry, who will graduate in 2019. She is also, an Honors College Scholar.
 
Title of your research project: Transcription Start Site Heterogeneity of the HIV-1 RNA genome

Describe your research:
My research project focused on the equilibrium between monomer and dimer conformations of HIV-1 RNA genome. Specifically, how a single mutation can shift the conformation and change the fate of the genome.

Who is your mentor(s) for your project? 
Dr. Micheal Summers, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry . 

How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them? 
I found my mentor through one of my TA's and also by searching different professors in chemistry and biology departments on UMBC website. I emailed different professors and I was fortunate to receive an interview with Dr. Summers. I chose my mentor and Summers lab as I liked the friendly and supportive environment and I thought I could learn a lot in such a setting.
 
How did you become interested in this project?
I was interested in HIV research and the possible therapeutics results that could be gained from it.

What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? 
The most difficult part for me has been the uncertainty of whether or not a test would correlate with our hypothesis and also repeating an experiment multiple times to ensure the results are correct. Trials and tribulations are certainly part of doing a research.
 
What has been the most rewarding part? 
The most rewarding part for me is seeing that all of my hard work has paid off and I got the expected result. Also, I was able to train and mentor students this summer. This was very rewarding to me as I could see their progress and see how they analyze results and perform experiments through time.
 
How will you disseminate your research?
I have presented my research at SURF this summer. I am also planning to present this research at annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences (CNMS symposium), and at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS).
 
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?  
Doing research is a great way to diversify your knowledge of a certain topic. I have certainly been able to become more of a critical thinker through doing research.
  
What are your career goals? 
My career goals are to pursue either MD or MD-PhD.
