<Title>Call for Grad Student Presenters!</Title>
<Tagline>Sustainability on Tap (SoT) networking session @GCSHE</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Do you know an advanced-degree/graduate student who is attending the upcoming Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education (GCSHE)? Are they also doing interesting sustainability/environmental research or leading an exciting campus sustainability project? The session is <span>looking for 8 graduate students to give super short 3min. presentations on their sustainability/environmental work</span> as part of the live Sustainability on Tap (SoT) networking session I'm hosting at the conference. SoT is designed to be a fun, informal opportunity for grad students to present their research or projects to a supportive audience. Students can <a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3fnXXjOgDiixzF4" title="" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">submit their presentation proposal here</a>, preference given to proposals received by Sep. 19. More details below – please spread the word to any grad students you work with!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span><strong>·</strong><span>         </span></span><strong>Session title</strong>: Sustainability on Tap! at the Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education</p>
    <p><strong> </strong></p>
    <p><span><strong>·</strong><span>         </span></span><strong>Date/Time</strong>: Thursday, Oct. 14 at 3-4pm (Eastern)/2-3pm (Central)</p>
    <p><strong> </strong></p>
    <p><span><strong>·</strong><span>         </span></span><strong>Description</strong>: Busting through academic silos can be tough. Enter - Sustainability on Tap! For the past 4 years, this University of Texas at Austin event has brought together graduate students from every college on campus (yes, all of them!) to network and learn about sustainability research and initiatives that are typically buried inside an institutional silo. In this session, we'll give attendees the opportunity to experience the fun of a virtual Sustainability on Tap. Enjoy speedy student presentations, a beverage of your choice, and more cowbell! By the end, you'll not only learn a bit about sustainability initiatives across the nation, but you'll also have all the knowledge and experience you need to bring this event to your own campus. Cheers!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span><strong>·</strong><span>         </span></span><strong>Ask</strong>: We're looking for <strong>advanced-degree/graduate students</strong> to present during this session. <a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3fnXXjOgDiixzF4" title="" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Use this form to submit a proposal to present</a> your sustainability or environmental research, project, or passion to your peers in 3 easy minutes. All you need is 5 slides, an environmental/social sustainability angle, and a sense of fun. Any and all presentation ideas are welcome! <u>Priority given to submissions received by Sep. 19</u>. Sustainability on Tap will be limited to approximately 8 graduate/advanced-degree student presenters who will be selected to best showcase the diversity of sustainability and environmental fields and to represent a range of universities/colleges. <u>Remember, you must be registered to attend GCSHE in order to present at or attend Sustainability on Tap.</u></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span><strong>·</strong><span>         </span></span>Don't want to present? Not a grad student? That's OK! All GCSHE attendees are invited to join the Sustainability on Tap session! It'll be fun (did we mention the cowbell?)!</p>

<Title>Undergraduate Data Science Scholars</Title>
<Tagline>Call for Applications</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><strong><span>Undergraduate Data Science Scholars – 
    </span><span>Call for Applications</span></strong></p>
    <p><span>Have you worked with social, behavioral, economic or geographic data?</span></p>
    <p><span>Are you interested in how to extract useful knowledge from data?</span></p>
    <p><span>The Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3) is partnering with the UMBC Department of Information Systems to establish the UMBC Undergraduate Data Science Scholars Program (DSS) in Fall 2021. Students admitted to the program will work as teaching fellows and peer mentors. They will also network with UC Berkeley data science students, attend special events, and be mentored by faculty. The DSS program welcomes undergraduate scholars from multiple disciplines, including the social sciences, looking at all aspects of data and its impact on society.</span></p>
    <p><strong><span>Responsibilities:</span><span> </span></strong></p>
    <p><span>• Scholars will work as TFs and peer mentors for undergraduate students in IS296 Foundations of Data Science. The class meets Tu/Th 1:00-2:15pm. The cohort of DSS scholars will meet as a group with the IS296 instructor. Scholars will be paid $15/hour for specific TF tasks, for 5-10 hours per week in fall 2021.</span></p>
    <p><span>• Social science DSS scholars will attend at least two CS3 events in fall 2021 and/or participate in CS3 research initiatives. The scholars will also be expected to attend one mentoring meeting with CS3 faculty.</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Background and skills:</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Applicants should have knowledge in at least one of the following:</span></p>
    <p><span>• Analysis of social, behavioral, economic or geographic data</span></p>
    <p><span>• Python</span><span> or</span><span> one of the data science tools and/or languages (such as Rapid Miner, Weka, Orange, Knime, ML on  cloud computing, python)</span></p>
    <p><span>• Jupyter notebooks with python or taken IS 296 in a prior semester.</span></p>
    <p><em><strong><span>Interested students should send a resume and a brief one or two sentence statement of interest to </span><a href="mailto:socialscience@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>socialscience@umbc.edu</span></a><span>by 9/8/21</span><span>. </span><span>Please put “CS3 Data Science Scholars” in the subject line of the email. </span></strong></em></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>While CS3 will run the admission and mentoring of the social science cohort of DSS, the Department of Information Systems is also partnering with the Center for Women in Technology to run another cohort.</span></p>
