    <div>The Special Collections department of the Albin O. Kuhn Library &amp; Gallery is documenting the experiences of UMBC students, staff, faculty, and other members of the campus community during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, and contributing them to the UMBC University Archives.  <a href="https://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/covid19" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">We invite you to share your stories, photographs, videos, and other documentation about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We are interested in your stories about the shift to remote instruction and learning, studying and working from home, working at on-campus and off-campus jobs, the impact of closing residence halls and other campus services, the ways you and your friends and family are staying in touch during this period of social distancing and self-quarantine, the emotional impact of the pandemic, and so on.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>How you record your thoughts and experiences is up to you.  For instance, you can write in a journal, record voice memos, save your social media posts, take photographs and/or videos of life as you see it, or create multimedia works of digital storytelling.</div>
    <div><br></div>Information about the project, including a link to the donation Google Form, is available at: <a href="https://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/covid19" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/covid19</a>.

    <div><br></div>
    <div>In conjunction with partners from four other Maryland higher education institutions, the Albin O. Kuhn Library &amp; Gallery is working on a grant-funded project entitled 'A Roadmap to the Future of Promotion and Tenure' that explores how openness, equity, diversity, and inclusion might be more strongly recognized and rewarded in promotion and tenure practices. As part of those efforts, we are conducting a survey of tenured and tenure-track faculty at Maryland academic institutions to learn about current policies and practices, faculty values, and opinions about how policies and practices align with those values. The survey has been reviewed by the Office of Research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and determined to be non-human subjects research.</div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Orientation Advising Opportunities for Grad Students</Title>
<Tagline>Gain valuable experience &amp; a small stipend for summer work!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The Office for Academic &amp; Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for summer Orientation Advisors! As an advisor, you would attend Orientation sessions where you would meet with undergraduate students one-on-one to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, all training necessary will be provided!</p>
    <p><strong>Besides compensation, this is an excellent opportunity to gain professional and interpersonal experience.</strong> Depending on your field, your time as a student may not open you up to many client-facing interactions, and this is a pathway to gaining that experience. If you are considering a career in academia, meanwhile, advising experience is highly sought-after in faculty openings.</p>
    <ul><li>Graduate students are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per all-day session and $50 per evening session.</li></ul>
    <p><strong>More details are provided in the application attached, which is due </strong><a href="https://advising.umbc.edu/orientation_upload/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><strong>HERE</strong></span></a><span><strong> by May 1, 2020</strong>. The Office for Academic &amp; Pre-Professional Advising will also be hosting a number of informational sessions for those who may be interested:</span></p>
    <ul>
    <li>Wednesday, March 11, 12-1 PM at Sherman Hall 220 (B-Wing, 2nd Floor)</li>
    <li>Thursday, March 26, 12-1 PM at Sherman Hall 220 (B-Wing, 2nd Floor)</li>
    <li>Monday, April 6, 12-1 PM at Sherman Hall 220 (B-Wing, 2nd Floor)</li>
    <li>Thursday, April 16, 4:30-5:30 PM at Sherman Hall 220 (B-Wing, 2nd Floor)</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Finally, if you are a graduate student with an existing assistantship, you will be required to submit a “Request for Additional Employment” along with your application by the same date. Please note the form must be signed by your Graduate Program Coordinator/Director and Dr. Jeffrey Halverson before submission. The forms can be found <a href="https://advising.umbc.edu/additional-employment/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">HERE</a>.</p>
    <p><br></p>
