<Title>New myUMBC Profile Now Live</Title>
<Tagline>One small step toward something much bigger</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">On Friday we launched the new and improved myUMBC Profile. A long time in the making, and with much work left to do, the Profile is part of our effort to streamline access to UMBC information about you.<div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Currently, little bits of information about you are spread throughout myUMBC and in different systems around campus. We've designed the profile to act as a summary view for information from these various systems, organized in a straightforward way, while providing a way to review this information at a glance and with easy access to change things without needing to know which systems are responsible for which info. All of this is packaged in a updated design that is designed to be just at usable on your phone as it is your desktop.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Currently, the profile contains information about names, addresses, and contact info. We are working to get information about degree progress, courses, grades, billing, financial aid, and more into this new format. Expect to see new features added over time.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>From a technical perspective, this is an important launch as its the first UMBC service to be hosted using Amazon Web Services. This will allow us to easily scale the service around peak load in order to keep myUMBC fast and more reliable.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To access your profile, select Profile under your name in the upper-right corner of myUMBC or <strong><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/profile" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">View the New Profile</a>.</strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We hope you like what you see, but we'd love to hear any comments you have for us.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h5>Comments</h5>
    <div>Please leave your comments on the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/myumbc/posts/61665" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">original post in the myUMBC Fan Club</a>.</div>

    <div><em>Stress Balls. Student Life Archives. Cared for by David Hoffman. University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The first Stress Free Zone was implemented at UMBC by the SGA in the spring of 2005 to provide an anxiety free space during final exam week. The event provided students with games, activities, music, and food, but more importantly, the SGA intended for the event to serve as a declaration of UMBC students' ability to work together and provide an active space for fun and community. This first Stress Free Zone was an outstanding success, starting an ongoing tradition of a Stress Free Zone each exam period at UMBC.  </div>
