<Title>quick Student Legal Services survey</Title>
<Tagline>If you could consult with a free attorney, when would you?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>UMBC is exploring adding a Student Legal Service that would provide our students with information about a selection of legal matters to enable them to address their own personal concerns. Typically, when universities offer these resources, they are funded out of student fees; accordingly, your Graduate Student Association, as fee holder for the graduate student fee, has been participating in discussions this year about potentially creating such an office at UMBC.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>See, for instance, the website for the new Student Legal Aid office that UMD, College Park, has recently added for its students:</span></div>
    <div>
    <a href="https://gradlegalaid.umd.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://gradlegalaid.umd.edu/</a><span>.</span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>If the GSA Senate decides to help fund such an office this spring, it might be able to start operation this fall.</span><div><br></div>
    <div>As part of the preliminary research and planning process, we'd like to know what day(s) and time(s) would work for the most students for services to be available--that way we can ensure that any attorneys or agencies we work with could accommodate those times.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To share your answer with us, p<span>lease submit this survey by 3 PM EDT this Friday, 28 Mar 2025:</span>
    </div>
    <h3><span><a href="https://forms.gle/7YmMz2gK96R2UNq6A">https://forms.gle/7YmMz2gK96R2UNq6A</a></span></h3>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><div>This survey is anonymous; we will not know who has submitted a response or what they have indicated. <em>You do have to be logged into <strong>just </strong>your UMBC email account to access the survey.</em>

    <strong>About WAGs: </strong>WAGs are small, voluntary groups of graduate students (3-8 participants) who commit to writing regularly by setting goals and holding each other accountable. These groups meet weekly for 10-12 weeks, either in person or online, to track progress and develop sustainable writing habits. The kickoff meeting will introduce WAGs, provide guidance on setting up a group, and offer resources to help participants succeed. </div>
