    </div>

    <div>
    <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/osl/events/95144" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Going Farther Together</a> - <span>Thursday, November 18th at 12:00pm</span>

    <div>
    <div>This program is about getting more out of, rather than cramming more into, UMBC. This 5 week program helps first year, sophomore, and new transfer students craft a more fulfilling college experience by sharing practical tools and ideas and relating them back to their leadership and involvement plans for UMBC. Topics include exploring your interests, finding your place at UMBC, designing plans for your leadership and involvement experience, and so much more. This seminar incorporates small group discussion, in-class activities, field exercises, and personal reflection.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>There are two cohorts available starting the week of October 5th and ending the week of November 2nd, 2021:</div>

    <div><u><strong><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/osl/events/95151" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">EMERGING LEADERS</a></strong></u></div>
    <div>
    <div>Emerging Leaders is a day long experience for students who are interested in developing their leadership capacity and learning more about the Social Change Model (SCM) of Leadership Development. SCM at it’s core, approaches leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process that results in positive social change.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Social Change Model sees leadership as purposeful, collaborative, and a values-driven process. Titles or positions are not needed in order to be a leader. Leaders work to improve the groups and communities they are part of. Through this approach, anyone can be a leader, because “leaders” are those who want to make a difference. This kind of collaborative process means that groups must have trust, which requires that group members act in ways that are consistent with their own beliefs and values as well as the group’s goals. Food will be provided at this event.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><em>This program will take place in-person at The Commons 331 on Saturday, October 23rd, 2021 from 10:30am – 3:30pm. </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Registration closes on Friday, October 1st at 12:00pm. </div>

    <div>You have an opportunity to join the 2021 American Mock Trial Association National Champions!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In April of 2021, UMBC Mock Trial defeated Yale University to win the 2021 AMTA National Championship. UMBC is the #1 ranked team in the country for collegiate Mock Trial - and now we want you to help us defend our title this year!</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div>Mock Trial is an exciting and dynamic opportunity for Sociology students. By joining Mock Trial, you will join a close-knit group of driven teammates and coaches who will help you learn about the law, become a great public speaker, and prepare for law school or your future career. You'll travel across the country to Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston, and so many other great places - all paid for by the program! And you'll compete at the best tournaments in the country and help win team and individual awards. There is no better place at UMBC to have a positive and engaging experience than with Mock Trial.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Our last info session is tomorrow, September 14th at 7pm over zoom. We strongly recommend you attend an info session to learn more about the team, how Mock Trial works, and how our tryouts work. If you can’t make it, we also have an info session recording up on our YouTube page.

    <p><span>Transitioning into college is not always easy… especially if you are first in your family to attend, if you are a part of a marginalized community, or if you regularly find yourself with more questions than answers. Don’t worry, we are here to help! Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion &amp; Belonging (i3b) has partnered with the Academic Success Center to bring you three sessions that focus on helping you develop the skills and tools you need to experience first year success! Sessions will take place virtually on October 19 and 26 and November 2 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Not only will we explore academic success skills and principles, we will also explore tools for navigating issues of discrimination, bias and microaggressions within academic spaces, and focus on the many ways our identities are assets within the college environment. Join us by RSVPing below for any or all three of the following sessions:</span></p>
