    <div><br></div>
    <div>What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?</div>
    <ul>
    <li>What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students.</li>
    <li>Who: WAGs are composed of a group of graduate students (usually 4–8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability.</li>
    <li>Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers.</li>
    <li>When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60–90 minutes for 10–12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.<br>
    </li>
    <li>Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or another videoconferencing platform.</li>
    </ul>

    <ul>
    <li><p>What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students</p></li>
    <li><p>Who: WAGs are comprised of a group of graduate students (usually 4-8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability </p></li>
    <li><p>Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers </p></li>
    <li><p>When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 10-12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.</p></li>

<Title>Write it out with Kyndall through our online Writing Center!</Title>
<Tagline>Online Writing Tutoring is still available! Sign up today!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello Retrievers,<div><br></div>
    <div>I hope we're all still doing well and staying safe! The Academic Success Center is still working hard to bring you all of the resources you need to be successful this semester, such as the Writing Center. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To better support you (while still social distancing) the Writing Center has moved completely online. It's hard to stay connected during this time, but maybe Getting to Know one of our Writing Center tutors will help!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Meet Kyndall</strong></div>
    <div>
    <p><strong><em>Tell us about yourself!</em></strong></p>
    
    <p>I’m an English major, I’m a sophomore, and I’m a writing
    tutor—we do it all!</p>
    
    <p><strong><em>Tell us what else you do on campus</em></strong></p>
    
    <p>I am a TA for science of water, I am a writing fellow for
    English 100, VP of ChewMBC, and VP of Spanish conversation!</p>
    
    <p><strong><em>Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?</em></strong></p>
    
    <p>I’m really into education and I wanted to explore how it is
    to actually teach people—it was an opportunity that I couldn’t let pass by.
    (can’t block your blessings)</p>
    
    <p><em><strong>Why do you love your job?</strong></em></p>
    
    <p>I’m a very shy person, so having this job allows me to come
    in contact with a lot of people who I usually would not meet. It allows me to
    come out of my shell. My tutees help me learn as much as I help them learn.</p>
    
    <p><strong><em>Ideal pizza and why?</em></strong></p>
    
    <p>Supreme pizza with no olives because olives are disgusting
    and I like every other topping on there. Really, all I need is a mushroom
    pizza, but if it doesn’t have mushrooms, I’ll eat it, <em>but do I want it?</em></p>
    <div>Wise words, Kyndall. Wise words. Now if YOU want writing help, booking an appointment is easy!</div>
    <div><ol>
