<Title>Congratulations to Heather Mortimer!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Congratulations to Heather for receiving a URA grant! With this grant, Heather will be installing two exhibits in the library rotunda with the guidance of her mentor, Sandra Abbott. According to Heather, "Both exhibits will be on the same topic, and use the same artifacts; however, they will be designed using different approaches, I will then collect data on visitor behavior to see if the design of the exhibit affects visitor engagement. Because museums are sites of free-choice learning, the exhibits themselves must motivate people to stop and engage with them. I would like to see if design can create that motivation. More broadly, I am interested in exploring how spaces that are not usually used for learning can be transformed into spaces that <em>are</em> used for learning. <div><br></div>
    <div>Heather has also received a Hollings Scholarship through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Through this program, rising juniors are awarded a two year academic scholarship and paid summer internship at a NOAA facility. Heather was one of 127 recipients from a total of 500 applicants. This summer, Heather will be moving to Santa Cruz, CA to "help with an exhibit at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center. The exhibit will allow visitors to hear, see, and feel sounds that are being collected by a hydrophone that is deployed at the sanctuary, including marine mammal vocalizations, passing ships, and even rain hitting the surface of the water." </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Once again, congratulations Heather, and good luck! </div>

<Title>OMG! URCAD is TOMORROW!</Title>
<Tagline>Over 250 Undergraduate Presenters in All Disciplines</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD)</strong> features research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits and performances, and film.</p>
    <p>Over 250 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor’s on-going projects.  They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated with other programs.</p>
    <p>Students who have received <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/ura/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Undergraduate Research Awards</a> (URA) for the previous year will be presenting their findings. The <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/umbc-review/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Review</a>, UMBC’s annual peer-reviewed research journal, which features academic papers written by UMBC undergraduates, makes its debut at this event- stop by and get your copy! Come hear the alumni <a href="http://urcad.umbc.edu/speaker/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">keynote speaker </a>talk about their experiences after UMBC, and how being an undergraduate researcher benefited them.</p>
    <p>UMBC is unique in providing this opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct and present their research in a professional and supportive setting.  Students get valuable feedback from their peers, faculty, and staff, and practice their public speaking and presentations skills.  This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC’s commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.</p>

<Title>OMG! URCAD is this Wednesday!</Title>
<Tagline>Over 250 Undergraduate Presenters in All Disciplines</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD)</strong> features research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits and performances, and film.</p>
    <p>Over 250 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor’s on-going projects.  They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated with other programs.</p>
    <p>Students who have received <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/ura/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Undergraduate Research Awards</a> (URA) for the previous year will be presenting their findings. The <a href="http://ur.umbc.edu/umbc-review/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Review</a>, UMBC’s annual peer-reviewed research journal, which features academic papers written by UMBC undergraduates, makes its debut at this event- stop by and get your copy! Come hear the alumni <a href="http://urcad.umbc.edu/speaker/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">keynote speaker </a>talk about their experiences after UMBC, and how being an undergraduate researcher benefited them.</p>
    <p>UMBC is unique in providing this opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct and present their research in a professional and supportive setting.  Students get valuable feedback from their peers, faculty, and staff, and practice their public speaking and presentations skills.  This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC’s commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.</p>
