    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>The Learning Resources Center is your one-stop shop for academic support for many undergraduate courses at UMBC. Papers got you down? Visit The Writing Center! Need help with Math? Visit our Math Lab (now located on the first floor of the library, right next to our Writing Center). Need help with any other course? Sign up for weekly Appointment Tutoring through our website!</span></div>
    <div>Before you begin your quest for academic excellence, let’s cover a few of the basics with a handy FAQ about Appointment Tutoring.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>“How do I get a tutor?</strong>”</div>
    <div>Sign up online through our website! Because it’s a Google form, make sure you log into myUMBC and check your mail, which will in turn sign you into your UMBC google account. Our form is UMBC exclusive, meaning that you will not be able to see it unless you are signed into your UMBC google account.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>“How does tutoring work?”</strong></div>
    <div>After you sign up for tutoring, you will receive a weekly (yes, weekly) appointment with one of our trained peer tutors. Our appointment tutoring is small group, meaning that no more than 3 other people will be tutored with you at the same time.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>“What should I bring to my weekly session?”</strong></div>
    <div>Bring your textbooks, your questions, and a willingness to learn! Our tutors are here to help you, but they can’t if you’re not prepared for an active learning session.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>“I don’t want to commit to weekly tutoring. Can’t I just come in right before I have a test or a final?”</strong></div>
    <div>Unfortunately, no. The purpose of LRC tutoring is to help you learn the material, not cram for a test. We want you to be successful, not just in one class but all of your classes as well. The best way to do that is to learn the material now and work through it with consistent support.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>"How do I know when I’ve been scheduled for tutoring?/ How do I cancel if I can’t make it one week?"</strong></div>
    <div>Check your UMBC Google calendar! You should have a weekly event. If you can’t make it, you need to email the Learning Resources Center. Clicking “no” on the event isn’t enough.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>"What does the LRC tutor?"</strong></div>
    <div>The short answer to that question is to check our website. We tutor mostly 100-level and 200-level courses, with a few 300-level courses for good measure. If your course isn’t listed, you can always request it on our website. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Tutoring starts Wednesday, February 3rd!</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Archives Gold #17: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th</Title>
<Tagline>The First Issue of UMBC's Student Newspaper</Tagline>
<Body>
<![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 the very first publication of <em>The Retriever </em>(then known as <em>UMBC News</em><em>)</em> in 1966. <div><br></div>
    <div><img src="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/img/AG_17a.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>

    <div><em>UMBC News, Volume 1, Number 1, September 19, 1966. UPUB- R4 University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>The first issue of UMBC's student newspaper was published on September 19, 1966, the first day of classes for the new UMBC university. First known as <em>UMBC News</em>, the newspaper's name would later change to include the school's mascot, the Retriever, becoming known as <em>The Retriever Weekly</em>, and later, simply <em>The Retriever</em>. The first issue of UMBC's newspaper contained many of the early activities and traditions of UMBC. Articles featured such things like the history of the UMBC site, the first social event of the university (an informal dance in the cafeteria), the initiation of a Student Government Association, the search for the school's mascot, and a spotlight on the campus' new faculty. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Since its first issue, the UMBC newspaper has continued to publish issues each year, having only stopped once in 1970 for a short span of time due to conflicts with the SGA and difficulties with funding.</div>
