    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>Social Media Intern at Student Life, Committee member for the Student Events Board, New Member of my sorority, Alpha Sigma Alpha</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>Trying to get people as excited for UMBC events as I am.</span></span></div>
    <div><span><span><br></span></span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>I love working at Student Life. It's so incredible to be around people that are constantly looking for ways to enrich the lives of UMBC students, and the fact that I get to be a part of it all is amazing. A huge part of what I do is promoting and documenting various events on campus, which gives me a chance to attend events that I might not have gone to on my own, and a great opportunity to meet people I otherwise might not have ever had the chance to meet!</span></span><br><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Along with promoting events, SEB is what makes many amazing events come to life on campus. From planning an event from scratch to actually helping run it, being involved in the process is extremely rewarding.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Mostly recently, when I joined Alpha Sigma Alpha, I became part of the amazing Greek community on campus. It's such an exciting and supportive community, definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my college career so far!</span></div>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>College is all about trying new things and leaving your comfort zone. Getting involved in various student organizations, clubs, and really anything on campus is so important. There are so many opportunities for students to *actually* make a difference and meet incredible people at UMBC, and there is a place for everyone here, you just have to leave your dorm room and find it!</span></span><br><span><br></span>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <span>by David Hoffman</span><br><span><br></span><span>Have you ever used Microsoft Word's "Autosummarize" feature? It assigns a score to each sentence in a document (based on whether it contains words used frequently in the document), then uses the scores to produce a summary.  As summaries of the content, these "autosummaries" tend to be awful. But sometimes they can produce interesting combinations and sequences of ideas: a kind of machine poetry.</span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <div>
    <span>I took the last three years of Real People Profiles (136 of them), cut and pasted each person's answer to the question 'What's the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?' into a single Microsoft Word document,  "autosummarized'" it to 25% its original length, then "autosummarized" the summary to 10% of <em>its</em> original length.  Here is the result: More than 11,000 words boiled down to less than 300 representing, in an odd and very unscientific way, the collected wisdom of the UMBC community.</span><br><span><br></span><br><div><span>--</span></div>

    <div><span><em><span>I've learned that your college experience isn't determined by which college you go to but rather how involved you are. I have learned many things about different cultures. So I've learned to talk less and listen much more.</span></em></span></div>

    <div><span><em><span>The most important thing I have learned at UMBC is that anything is possible. I've also learned that it's never too late to change or make a change!</span></em></span></div>

    <div><span><em><span>Being at UMBC/college has helped me become more well-rounded.

    <span>UMBC is full of treasures and oddities hidden in plain view. Here's one of them; but from what UMBC wall is Usher gazing? Let us know by email at CoCreateUMBC [at] umbc.edu.

    <span>The smiling fish swims in the UMBC library pond, as depicted in a mural on the northeast wall of the Student Organizations Space, which is on The Commons' 2nd floor.

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>This is my second semester at UMBC</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>I am a Senator in the Student Government Association.  I am also a member of the Pep Band, the Christian group "Salvation &amp; Praise," and a Winter 2014 STRiVE'r.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><strong>Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?</strong> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    </div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>A dedicated student, a diligent worker, and a thoughtful friend :)</span></div>
    <div><span><span><br></span></span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>I enjoy being able to network with other students, alumni, faculty, and staff.  I find it interesting that so many people from various backgrounds can come together to share ideas effectively.  I value being able to experience the world through the eyes of others without having to travel far.</span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <strong><span>Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?</span></strong><br><div><strong></strong></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>The most memorable thing I have learned here thus far is that your experience here is what you make it.  You can stay in your room and study all you want, but will have missed out on all that the University has to offer.  Even if there isn't a program, initiative, or student organization here that is "for you" there are many resources here to pursue your interests with like-minded people.</span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    </div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span>Learning new things, gospel music, Facebook, and CBS's "NCIS"</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    </div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <span><span><span>A: </span></span>Years ago, my father, like myself, attended UMBC and was an active member in the Student Government Association.  He served as Vice President for Minority Affairs within SGA.  His most important memory of his time in SGA was when he rallied many of the African American students to students to protest the development of the land they played flag football on.  They lost their battle and the administration (including then-Vice Provost Hrabowski) saw that the Engineering Building was constructed. The irony of this is that I am a STEM major.</span><br><div><div><span><br></span></div></div>

    <span><br></span><span>UMBC is full of treasures and oddities hidden in plain view, and this is the second PicUMBC image to feature a fish.

<Title>Phenomena in Need of Names</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>by David Hoffman and Craig Berger</span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <span>1. That moment of hesitation and uncertainty after you hear a greeting or compliment but didn't see the person say it, and so can’t be sure whether it was directed at you.</span><br><span><br></span>
    </div>
    <div>
    <span>2. The impulse of each generation to invent or appropriate its own words for “great!” (cool, rad, hot, tight, on point, etc.).</span><br><span><br></span>
    </div>
    <div>
    <span>3. The occasional, usually brief interval in which all of the inanimate objects you encounter (your car keys, hairbrush, sandwich) slip out of your hands, malfunction, break, get in your way, or otherwise hinder your progress.</span><br><span><br></span><span>4. The turning point when you decide to pursue the major and career path you really want, rather than those you had felt pressured or obligated to pursue.</span><br><span><br></span><span>5. The point in the semester at which it's just completely impossible not to have arrived at a long break, and yet weeks remain.</span><br><span><br></span><span>6. The period after you've had a difficult experience that has probably made you stronger and wiser but before you have had an opportunity to apply your new strength and wisdom (and so prove to yourself that they exist).</span><br><span><br></span><span>7. Moments that will, in retrospect, turn out to be the beginnings of stories that define you (e.g., meeting your future significant other for the first time), but which, when they occur, seem perfectly ordinary.</span><br><span><br></span>
    </div>
    <div>
    <span>8. The problem of being only 80% sure you've remembered someone’s name correctly, but being beyond the point in your acquaintance when it is reasonable to ask.</span><br><br>
    </div>
    <div>
