    <strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS? </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>I chose to major in INDS in order to transform my previous education in computer science into a pursuit that had deep personal significance and real social impact. INDS afforded me the opportunity to explore Digital Therapeutics and get a jump start on this cutting edge field. As a transfer student, I also chose to major in INDS because the supportive staff, faculty and students immediately created a welcoming community full of shared innovation and creativity. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree? </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>After graduation I intend to hold a software development position in a startup. I hope to target positions in the Digital Therapeutics space and directly apply the knowledge I gained as part of my INDS degree. Long term, I hope to pursue my own entrepreneurial venture in Digital Therapeutics. <br>

<Title>FOUR UMBC students named Goldwater Scholars for 2021!</Title>
<Tagline>Slaughter, Lilly, Kroiz, and Luthria set UMBC record</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Four UMBC students have been named 2021-2022 Goldwater Scholars, setting a new university record for the most Retrievers to earn this prestigious undergraduate award in a single year. They are <strong>Joshua Slaughter</strong> ‘22, computer engineering;<strong> Kaitlynn Lilly</strong> ‘22, physics and mathematics;<strong> Gerson Kroiz </strong>‘22, mathematics; and <strong>Karan Luthria</strong> ‘22, bioinformatics. </p>
    <p>The goal of the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program is to provide the United States with “a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers” to move the nation forward. UMBC’s prior Goldwater Scholars, including <a href="https://magazine.umbc.edu/rhodes/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Rhodes Scholar <strong>Naomi Mburu</strong></a> ‘18, chemical engineering, have gone on to top graduate programs and promising research careers.<br><br>That four UMBC students won awards, from over 1,250 STEM student applicants across the country is remarkable, notes <strong>April Householder</strong>’95, director of undergraduate research and prestigious scholarships at UMBC. “Winning the Goldwater means that Slaughter, Lilly, Kroiz, and Luthria join a legacy of scholars who have gone on to become this country’s leading scientists, engineers, and mathematicians,” she says. </p>See the full story here:<div><a href="https://news.umbc.edu/umbc-students-set-new-record-in-prestigious-goldwater-scholarships-for-stem-research/">https://news.umbc.edu/umbc-students-set-new-record-in-prestigious-goldwater-scholarships-for-stem-research/</a></div>

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Madeline Arbutus</Title>
<Tagline>Recognizing the uncredited POC behind modern design</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Humanities Scholar Madeline Arbutus decolonizes the design canon by uncovering the work of unrecognized people of color who were behind some of the most iconic brands in American culture. See her presentation, "<span>Uncredited: Uncovering the Names Behind the Colonized Modern Design Canon" at URCAD, starting on Monday!</span>
    </div>

    <div><span><u>Abstract</u></span></div>
    <div><span>Mentor: Margaret Re, Visual Arts</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><p>Mid-twentieth century American designers had a tremendous impact on national identity and design history— and an overwhelming majority of those who are recognized are white. Korean-American merchandise designer, Alma Shon shaped standards of luxury retail in America and Black graphic designer, Thomas Miller led and contributed to the designs of logos that you still see today— and both artists go uncredited in many archives, unmentioned in design history courses and not even considered in our colonized design canon. </p>
    <p>Curator Margaret Re’s exhibition, A Designed Life, however, has uncovered the work of Shon, Miller, and many other designers in its recreation of three traveling exhibitions that were commissioned by the U.S. Department of State during the Cold War from 1951 to 1954. In addition to composing biographies for Shon and Miller that will be included as supporting research in the virtual exhibition of A Designed Life at the Design Museum of Chicago in 2021, I have identified their work and influence in archives, in hopes of decolonizing the design canon through the inclusion of Shon and Miller’s narratives and work.</p></span></div>

    <div>
    <strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS? </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>INDS provided me with the opportunity to tailor a degree to my specific interests in returning to Navy Medicine. In addition to allowing me to satisfy the requirements for admission to medical school, it allowed me to integrate over ten years of experience in the U.S. Navy into my undergraduate degree. This experience guided my degree formation and put me into a position where I can return to Navy Medicine as a Physician and improve on military-civilian relations during large scale disaster response. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree? </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>My hope is to attend medical school and return to active naval service. As my career progresses, I anticipate that my degree will become more and more important in my day to day work. I hope to transition into leadership roles where I can use my degree to improve interactions between the military and other agencies in the medical field. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>MIDDLE EAST DEPLOYMENT </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>In March of 2018 I was recalled to active duty to fulfill service obligations with Coastal Riverine Squadron 8. I was deployed to the Middle East as part of an Embarked Security and Intelligence Team. We were responsible for providing 24/7, 360-degree defense of high value naval assets in the 5th Fleet Area of Operations. This included: defense of high value naval assets during routine transports, in port operations, and at sea operations in support of Operation Spartan Shield. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>OFF CAMPUS WORK </strong><br>
    </div>
    <div>Outside of college I continue to serve the Navy as a reservist. Functioning as a unit supervisor, I lead 17 sailors in all Navy required training, operations, and conducted various administrative tasks associated with these requirements.

    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><span>English Language Learners' (ELLs) experiences can often be frustrating because their education may not address learning modalities that suit them, specifically when it comes to teaching English grammar. MotionWriters, a learning program created by Assistant Professor Ann Sofie Clemmensen and Dance/English Literature major, Angelika Albertorio seeks to address this problem by implementing a multimodal teaching approach that engages practicing English grammar through the involvement of the moving body. Inspired by the choreographic process, MotionWriters guides participants through a creative process structured around the creation and continuous revision of a fictional narrative. Students will go through a series of modules and creative devices/tasks. The differences of parts of speech, vocabulary, and sentence structure are explored through the whole body, including visual, verbal, and kinesthetic modes of learning. The MotionWriters pilot program is targeted at ELLs who are between the ages of nine to eleven. The community aspect of this program, coupled with the creative approach to English language and grammar, hopes to make for an interactive experience for students and inspire confidence for their future educational endeavors.</span></span></div>

    <div><span><em>A Cloud of Worries</em> is a looping animated short about a girl who bottles up her stress and just can’t seem to escape from her worries, even in her dreams. The stress builds up, little by little, symbolized by the red cloud looming above her head. This piece represents the state of an average individual that is plagued by stress, always feeling restless. The color scheme, a combination of blues, purples and pinks, and the watercolor-like textures were all used to create the “dreamy” night time atmosphere. All animation was done digitally, and this short made use of moving two-dimensional camera effects during certain scenes like the falling sequence to make the motion more fluid and effective. It was especially crucial to capture the restlessness felt by the girl as she was falling, so she was animated to constantly rotate and twist as she fell. This project was created as a reflection of my mental state during the weeks leading up to final exams and projects. Every student is familiar with the tension near finals time, and this piece demonstrates how the inner state of our mind can be overwhelmed by any building pressure.</span></div>

    <div><span>Mentor: Fernando Tormos Aponte, Political Science</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><span>After a summer of an important racial reckoning in the United States, there is an increased awareness about the consequences of media coverage and  portrayals of racial dissent. The way that the media portrays protest events shapes how the public understands and perceives those events. The use of insensitive or even implicitly racist messaging among media outlets to portray racial justice events has an impact on public discourse on racial justice. This research uses articles from the Baltimore Sun’s coverage of the Baltimore Uprising of 2015 to examine media portrayals of h Freddie Gray, who died in the hands of Baltimore police, and the subsequent events of the Uprising. I use grounded theory qualitative coding techniques to identify specific framings that connote implicit biases in the media and used these to observe how the Baltimore Sun reported on the racial justice movement, specifically Black Lives Matter during this time period.</span></span></div>
