    <p><span>“</span><span>BTEC is a community-led organization that advocates for all transit riders across the region to gain equal access to public transit. Our anti-racist work was born out of Governor Hogan’s decision to cancel the Red Line project in 2015. That decision – a quintessential example of structural racism in the region – spurred many of the original Red Line planning committee members to action. Shortly after the governor canceled the project, these members gathered with others in the community to form our coalition.”</span></p>

<Title>Spring 2022 COVID Measures for Commuters</Title>
<Tagline>Important Information; Please Read</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Dear Commuter Students,</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Welcome to Spring 2022 at UMBC! Whether you are a new or returning Retriever, we are excited to have you and look forward to connecting. If there is ever any way Off-Campus Student Services can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to <a href="https://ocss.umbc.edu/about/contact-us/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><u>contact us</u></a> or stop by our office in Commons 1A02, right next to the Bookstore.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>As we gear up for another semester, OCSS wants to make sure we continue to keep our UMBC community as safe as possible from the Omicron variant of COVID-19. We have been</span><span> extremely successful in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 because of all of you and that is not lost on us. You make the difference and we appreciate you for that. To ensure that we remain on the right path, this letter is intended to review UMBC’s COVID-19 response and the safety measures that will continue to keep our community safe.  </span></p>
    <br><ul>
    <li><p><span>KN95 masks are required.</span><span> All community members are currently required to wear a KN95 or equivalent mask indoors in public spaces at UMBC. This includes in classrooms, on transportation, and inside dining facilities when not actively eating. KN95 equivalent masks include: an N95, KN95, or KF94 mask, FFP2-3, or a double surgical mask. Free KN95 masks are available during business hours at the </span><span>UMBC Police Station, Campus Card and Dining Services, the Retriever Activities Center, The Commons Information Center, and the Albin O. Kuhn Library Circulation Desk</span><span>.</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Entry testing is required for Spring 2022. </span><span>All community members are required to take an on-campus PCR test on the first day they return to campus. If possible, we also recommend that you take an at home rapid test the day before you return to campus in addition to the required PCR. </span><a href="https://covid19.umbc.edu/how-to-test/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Here is some additional information on how to test.</span></a></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Vaccinations are required. </span><span>The </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/insights/posts/101184" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>University System of Marylan</span><span>d</span></a><span> and UMBC are requiring all students, faculty and staff to remain up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes an additional dose of the COVID-19 vaccine—a “booster shot”—when you are </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>eligible</span></a><span>. Make sure to </span><a href="https://covid19.umbc.edu/reporting-vaccination/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>report your vaccines</span></a><span> or </span><a href="https://covid19.umbc.edu/vaccine-exemption/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>request an exemption</span></a><span> as soon as possible. </span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Maintain physical distance and limit gatherings</span><span>. Evaluate all of your group activities. Other than going to class, we strongly encourage moving group meetings and study groups online. Many of OCSS’ activities will be online. When conditions permit, we will also offer some safe in-person options for events.</span></p></li>
    </ul>
    <br><p><span>With your assistance, we look forward to a productive, safe, and exciting Spring 2022 semester. If you have questions about OCSS programming or services, please contact us at </span><a href="mailto:ocss@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>ocss@umbc.edu</span></a><span>. We appreciate your help and commitment to ensuring that UMBC remains healthy. Best wishes on a successful term!</span></p>

    <div>What have you lost due to COVID? What are you grieving? Who can you share your grief with?<br><br>The Pandemic Grief Processing Group aims to make space for honoring and acknowledging the losses students, staff, and faculty within the UMBC community have experienced in these last 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. This discussion-based program will explore the different kinds of grief and loss people may be experiencing individually and as a society, giving language and space for each of the participants to express their personal stories.<br><br>Our intention for this group is to create a space for processing, connection, healing, and collective growth. We will collaborate in the creation of a community grief ritual together even as we are still moving through our grief in different ways.<br><br>PGPG will be run as a 3-week program. The group will meet for a 90-minute session, once a week, for three consecutive weeks. The first two sessions will be online on Fridays, February 18th and 25th, 2:00-3:30 and then our hope is that the group will conclude with a final in-person session on Friday, March 4th, 2:00-3:30 in the Women’s Center. To indicate your comfort with meeting in person, please see the commitment form below.<div><br></div>

    <h5>If you are interested in joining, please fill out the commitment form <a href="https://forms.gle/8X7bT1JwpwYFG1BL9" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. We will send out iGoogle Calendar Invitations with links to the closed group meetings closer to the start date.</h5>
    <div>
    <br>Note: To ensure that we have time for everyone to share their stories, we will be limiting the number of participants to 12.<br>This group is open to all students and faculty/staff of the UMBC community.</div>

    <div>
    <br>*Positionality statement: The facilitators of this group are senior social work students in their final practicum. We are not professional grief experts but we have experience in facilitating supportive groups as well as individualized counseling with peers. We hope to hold space for everyone and that, together, as a community, we can learn from and support each other.</div>

<Title>April 7 is Community Mental Health Action Day!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Save the Date!</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Dear UMBC Community Members, </span></p>
    <br><p><span>On behalf of the University Steering Committee, we are writing to ask you to save Thursday, April 7 on your calendar for a Community Mental Health Action day. The USC will be working with partners across campus to host events both in person and online over the course of the day to  promote mental health and community well-being. For now, we are writing to ask three things:</span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><p><span>Please help make this day happen! If you have an idea for a workshop, class, conversation, or event that you would like to take the lead on, please email Susan McDonough at </span><a href="mailto:mcdonoug@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>mcdonoug@umbc.edu</span></a><span>. Alternatively, if you’re already programming an event that we can help advertise, let us know.</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Please consider building this day into your syllabi and plans for the work day, perhaps with an assignment or readings that reflect the theme through the lens of your field, or perhaps with a study day to allow folks to participate throughout the day. </span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Join us on </span><span>Apr 7, 2022</span><span>!</span></p></li>
    </ol>
    <br><p><span>We look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks and hope that you’ll all participate in some way in this important day. </span></p>
    <br><p><span>Sincerely,</span></p>

    <p>he Molecular Targets Program (MTP) of the National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research (NCI’s CCR) has postdoctoral positions available in its Protein Chemistry and Molecular Biology Section (PCMBS). The PCMBS uses its expertise in protein chemistry, biophysics, enzymology, molecular biology and screening to adapt CCR basic science laboratory findings into high throughput, cell-free screens for the interrogation of pure compound and pre-fractionated natural product libraries. In addition, we use these same skills to discover and characterize novel bioactive proteins from natural product extracts that increase our knowledge of protein structure and function, address diseases and molecular targets of interest, and potentially lead to clinical development.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The position is for a researcher with published expertise in enzyme kinetics and in-vitro inhibitor/activator mechanism of action studies to develop and implement high-throughput assays for the discovery of biologically active synthetic and natural product-derived compounds. Applicants should highlight their experience in relevant methods of in-vitro enzymology in their introductory email. Previous experience in high throughput screening or natural products discovery is not required but will be prioritized in candidate evaluation.</p>
    <h3> </h3>
    <h3>Qualifications:</h3>
    <p>Candidates must have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, pharmacognosy or a related discipline from an accredited research institution within the last three years. The fellowship duration is for a maximum of 5 years based on performance and yearly evaluations. The fellowship is not restricted to U.S. citizens. The fellowship stipend starts at a flat rare per annum and is determined based on qualifications and years of relevant experience. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV with bibliography, and three letters of reference to <a href="mailto:MTP_PostDoc@nih.gov" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MTP_PostDoc@nih.gov</a>.</p>
