    <div>Today marks the 50th anniversary of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County! On September 19, 1966, students were welcomed to the new UMBC campus which consisted of only three completed buildings: Academic One, Gym 1, and Lecture Hall One, and had only eighteen areas of study available.  Fast forward to today and UMBC has over forty different academic, residential, and student life buildings and offers 48 different majors. </div>

<Title>Archives Gold #49: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th</Title>
<Tagline>An Aerial Photograph of Future UMBC Campus from 1963</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Special Collections continues our archival project <strong>Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th</strong>, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present an aerial photograph from 1963 of the farmland UMBC would later be built upon.  <div><br></div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>The land on which UMBC is currently built was previously owned by the Baltimore Manual Labor School and later Spring Grove Hospital. Superintendent of the labor school, Edmund Stabler, kept the school operational from 1839 to 1922 with the purpose of instructing and supporting poor and orphaned boys from Baltimore City. The boys were taught how to read and were instructed in agriculture or other useful occupations in preparation to earn a living. When Spring Grove Hospital purchased the land after a fire in 1922, they used the farmland for a patient agricultural rehabilitation program. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>When plans began for the expansion of the University of Maryland system in the 1940s and 1950s, the state looked to the acreage near Catonsville that included the former Baltimore Manual Labor School, the current Spring Grove Hospital, and additional adjacent tracts of land. After a long process, the Board of Regents approved official plans in the early 1960s and workers began construction on the new University of Maryland, Baltimore County. </div>

    <p><span>2016 Solicitation 2: Applications are due </span><span>5:00pm Eastern Time on Monday November 21, 2016</span><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program provides doctoral dissertation/thesis research opportunities for graduate students at DOE national laboratories. Details about the program and online application can be found at</span><a href="http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span>The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2016 Solicitation 2.  Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Monday November 21, 2016.</span></p>
    <p><span>Starting from 2015 Solicitation 2, the SCGSR program is open to graduate students with Permanent Resident status, in addition to U.S. Citizens, who meet all other eligibility requirements. Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, can be found at: </span><a href="http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/</span></a><span>.   </span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months—with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program is open to current Ph.D. students in qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to the DOE Office of Science. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis/dissertation while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories. The supplemental award provides for additional, incremental costs for living and travel expenses directly associated with conducting the SCGSR research project at the DOE host laboratory during the award period.</span></p>
    <p><span>The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2016 Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between June 1, 2017 and October 2, 2017.</span></p>
    <p><span>Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to about 160 graduate awardees from over 75 different universities to conduct thesis research at DOE national laboratories across the nation.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the six Office of Science research programs offices and the DOE national laboratories, and the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE).</span></p>
    <p><span>For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager, Dr. Ping Ge,</span><a href="mailto:atsc.scgsr@science.doe.gov" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">atsc.scgsr@science.doe.gov</a><span>.</span></p>

    <p><span>2016 Solicitation 2: Applications are due </span><span>5:00pm Eastern Time on Monday November 21, 2016</span><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program provides doctoral dissertation/thesis research opportunities for graduate students at DOE national laboratories. Details about the program and online application can be found at</span><a href="http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <p><span>The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2016 Solicitation 2.  Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Monday November 21, 2016.</span></p>
    <p><span>Starting from 2015 Solicitation 2, the SCGSR program is open to graduate students with Permanent Resident status, in addition to U.S. Citizens, who meet all other eligibility requirements. Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, can be found at: </span><a href="http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/</span></a><span>.   </span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months—with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program is open to current Ph.D. students in qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to the DOE Office of Science. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis/dissertation while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories. The supplemental award provides for additional, incremental costs for living and travel expenses directly associated with conducting the SCGSR research project at the DOE host laboratory during the award period.</span></p>
    <p><span>The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2016 Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between June 1, 2017 and October 2, 2017.</span></p>
    <p><span>Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to about 160 graduate awardees from over 75 different universities to conduct thesis research at DOE national laboratories across the nation.</span></p>
    <p><span>The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the six Office of Science research programs offices and the DOE national laboratories, and the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE).</span></p>
