The Kraken Upcycle Took a Trip This Weekend to Lowell, MA Congratulations to a local team in Lowell, MA for their recent win at the Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race in New England, MA with our very own Kraken! Race coordinator, Bianca Mauro, transported the Kraken Upcycle up to Lowell MA this past weekend. The team succeeded in finishing the 6.5 mile course race, which went through the city to a mud pit, through the state park and beach to a sand trap, and finally across the Merrimack River. In addition, the Kraken Upcycle has also won its second award in three years of racing: Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race's Golden Flipper Award for most interesting water entry, as the team rode down the ramp into the water at full speed!

We surely know Steven McAlpine is proud. Congratulations again to the entire crew, we're excited to see what's next for the Kraken! 

The race web site is http://lowellkinetic.com/ and a short film trailer can be viewed here: https://vimeo.com/143338349. 

The Kraken is a moving art piece composed entirely of plastic bottles, plastic bags, soda rings, and other pollutants of the world's water sources. On a typical day, you'd find it proudly standing outside the Fine Arts building. More about the Kraken's origins and history can be found in INDS' newsletter, here and here.

Meet Sarah,
She is an Interdisciplinary Studies major, an URA Scholar and a Linehan Scholar. Her future pursuits would include working alongside anthropologists as they complete research and photograph their work to be included in ethnographies, articles, and other publications as a means of providing a more concrete way for the reader to connect to the material they are reading about. She also thinks that photography coupled with anthropology -or any form of research- can also benefit the public because photographs can often speak to a wider demographic range than can scientific writing.

Her research will assist in documenting the ecological disaster that occurred on November 5th, 2015 in Mariana, Brazil. She photographed the effects of this disaster on the communities of the Rio Doce Valley (in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais). She is currently editing the photos as well as transcribing and translating interviews with her partner Andrés Camacho '15. She is also collaborating with Dr. Bryan McCann, a Professor at Georgetown University who is gathering an international group of scholars to study the historical background of the area and the disaster’s current environmental and social repercussions on the Rio Doce valley. This November, both Sarah and Andrés will be presenting their work at a conference (Dr.McCann & others) are organizing at Georgetown titled "Brazil’s Rio Doce Disaster: the History and Consequences of a Man-made Environmental Disaster".

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. 

Visit the new exhibition in the Library Gallery, "Sharing the Past, Building the Future: UMBC at 50" to explore some of the many stories of the university's exciting beginning and continuing development through items selected from UMBC's University Archives, including photographs, documents, objects, books, and ephemera!
