    <div><br></div>
    <div>You've probably heard about the wage gap. You know, the part where men and women often get paid differently for doing the same job? The gap is even bigger for people of color and people with disabilities. What can you do, besides wringing your hands and hoping you don't fall in?<br><br>
    </div>
    <div>Learn to negotiate your salary, that's what! Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) along with the Women's Center, GWST, the McNair Scholars Program, and the Honors College is bringing another edition of $tart $mart to UMBC. This workshop will help you learn how to ask for what you're worth, even in this tight job market, and help you avoid one of the most common pitfalls for new employees: failing to negotiate that starting salary. Don't let this happen to you!<br><br>The workshop will be held <span><span>November 5</span></span> from 5-8 in Sherman Hall B-Wing, Room 220, right next to the International Media Center. <strong>Dinner will be provided</strong>. Invest in your future today!<br><br><strong>Please RSVP to Ruken Isik at <a href="mailto:ruken1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ruken1@umbc.edu</a> by <span><span>Friday, October 31</span></span>.</strong><br><br>

<Title>Are you a First Year Student interested in SGA?</Title>
<Tagline>Apply to be an SGA First Year Ambassador!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>First Year Ambassador (FYA) Program - The First Year Ambassador Program serves as an introduction to the Student Government Association (SGA) at UMBC and provides training so that new students are equipped to tackle any problems they recognize at UMBC. Each FYA is responsible for attending five one-hour training sessions over the course of five weeks and a regular FYA meeting once every month. Additionally, each FYA will receive a placement in one of the following branches of the SGA:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>- Senate - The Senate meets every Monday at 5:30 PM in the Commons, Room 318. Senate members are responsible for connecting with other students, sitting on University committees, taking positions on university policy issues, and initiating projects to improve the undergraduate experience.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>- Finance Board - The Finance Board meets every Tuesday at 5:30 PM in the Commons, Room 318. Finance Board members are responsible for allocating funds to student organizations to support their programs and events. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>- Executive Branch - The Executive Branch is organized into departments: Environmental Affairs, Health &amp; Wellness, Communications, Leadership Developement, Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, Academic Affairs, Service and Community Outreach, Governmental and Institutional Affairs. Each First Year Ambassador learns about the expectations and responsibilities of a staff member in a department while going through training, and then solidifies his or her placement for the remainder of the semester at the end of the training period.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Applications for the Fall 2014 cohort are due Wednesday, October 1st, at 11:59PM.</div>
    <div><br></div>
