<Title>Take the Fee Review Survey!</Title>
<Tagline>Quick Survey about Student Fees - Please Paw for Visibility!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><strong>From the Student Fee Advisory Board:</strong></div><div><br></div><div>In addition to tuition, every student at UMBC pays fees that support student life on campus. These fees are broken down into six categories: Athletics, Technology, The Commons, Transportation, Auxiliary Facilities, and Student Activities. Currently, these fees add up to a total of $2770 per year.</div><div><br></div><div>Every year, the UMBC administration embarks on a process to review each of these fees and assess whether to increase them or to hold them steady. These are fees that directly impact student life and as such, student input is a valuable component of the fee review process. In an effort to expand student involvement in this process, the administration has, in partnership with UMBC SGA, established a formal process by which students can voice their opinions on proposed fee increases.</div><div><br></div><div>Below is a link to the Fee Review Survey. It is an online form that explains the details of proposed fee increases and collects your input on how you feel about each fee and its related expenditures.  Completing the survey will ensure that the administration hears your voice on the fees you pay.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/1bD7phCKy6sLn8tfY2Nf8xOUa-IxFwSeJjnSzP52bswQ/viewform" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/1bD7phCKy6sLn8tfY2Nf8xOUa-IxFwSeJjnSzP52bswQ/viewform</a></div><div><br></div><div>Completing the Mandatory Fee Review Survey helps quantify student opinion and advocate for your opinion, which will make a much stronger impact on the fee review process.</div></div>

<Title>Positions Available -- SGA Senate and Finance Board</Title>
<Tagline>Apply for Senator/Finance Board Rep. and/or Secretary</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>UMBC's nationally recognized Student Government Association is looking for students interested in making a difference on campus and beyond. <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you're looking to get more involved on campus, the SGA Senate and Finance Board are looking to fill some vacancies. The Senate is looking to fill an empty Senate seat, the Finance Board is looking to fill an empty Finance Board Represenative position, and both bodies are searching for a secretary for the Spring 2014 semester.<br><br></div><div><p><span>The Senate is SGA’s engine for collecting ideas from students and turning them into campus change initiatives. Members meet weekly (Mondays at 5:30 p.m.) to discuss and develop initiatives, talk with campus
    administrators and take positions on issues. But most of the Senate’s work
    takes place between the weekly meetings. Members spend time talking with
    students, representing all undergraduates on university committees, meeting in
    project working groups and doing the follow-up needed to get initiatives off the
    ground.</span><span><br>
    <br>
    <span>The Finance Board is the branch of SGA that provides funds to support student organization activities: $200,000 this year. Most of the Finance Board’s work is done at weekly meetings, where student organization leaders present requests and Finance Board members ask questions and make decisions. These meetings, which take place Tuesdays starting at 5:30 p.m., can be both long and intense. Finance Board members have to wrestle with complex issues: applying university policies, striking a balance between supporting amazing events and stretching funds across the entire year, thinking about the precedent-setting impact of their decisions. But they have a lot of fun too, partly because it’s so
    interactive and engaging.</span></span></p></div><div>The deadline to apply for these positions is <strong>Tuesday, December 31</strong><strong>.</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><span>You can submit your application at:</span></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/11Q3VLHyhK-nLwIRx99usx9G29EPJC44K2yeoBVHSeqc/viewform" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/11Q3VLHyhK-nLwIRx99usx9G29EPJC44K2yeoBVHSeqc/viewform</a></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>Questions? </div><div><br></div><div>Contact Hayden Marshall (Speaker of the Senate) regarding the available Senate positions (<a href="mailto:haydenm1@umbc.edu">haydenm1@umbc.edu</a>). <br><br>Contact Sara Kim (Chair of the Finance Board) regarding the available Finance Board positions (<a href="mailto:ak15050@umbc.edu">ak15050@umbc.edu</a>).</div></div>

<Title>Positions Available -- SGA Senate and Finance Board</Title>
<Tagline>Apply for Senator and/or Senate/Finance Board Secretary</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>UMBC's nationally recognized Student Government Association is looking for students interested in making a difference on campus and beyond. <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you're looking to get more involved on campus, the SGA Senate and Finance Board are looking to fill some vacancies. The Senate is looking to fill two empty Senate seats, while both the Senate and the Finance Board are searching for a secretary for the 2013-2014 Academic Year.<br><br> </div><div><p><span>The Senate is SGA’s engine for collecting ideas from students and turning them into campus change initiatives. Members meet weekly (Mondays at 5:30 p.m.) to discuss and develop initiatives, talk with campus
    administrators and take positions on issues. But most of the Senate’s work
    takes place between the weekly meetings. Members spend time talking with
    students, representing all undergraduates on university committees, meeting in
    project working groups and doing the follow-up needed to get initiatives off the
    ground.</span><span><br>
    <br>
    <span>The Finance Board is the branch of SGA that provides funds to support student organization activities: $200,000 this year. Most of the Finance Board’s work is done at weekly meetings, where student organization leaders present requests and Finance Board members ask questions and make decisions. These meetings, which take place Tuesdays starting at 5:30 p.m., can be both long and intense. Finance Board members have to wrestle with complex issues: applying university policies, striking a balance between supporting amazing events and stretching funds across the entire year, thinking about the precedent-setting impact of their decisions. But they have a lot of fun too, partly because it’s so
    interactive and engaging.</span></span></p></div><div>The deadline to apply for these positions is <strong>5:00 p.m. on </strong><strong>Friday, August 9th.</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><span>You can submit your application at:</span></div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FFXejhMfMDe0OfslDOVcP9ZwAqdiNfNHhp_q7ttAflA/viewform" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FFXejhMfMDe0OfslDOVcP9ZwAqdiNfNHhp_q7ttAflA/viewform</a></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>Questions? </div><div><br></div><div>Contact Jack Neumeier regarding Senate positions (<a href="mailto:neujack1@umbc.edu">neujack1@umbc.edu</a>). <br><br>Contact Sara Kim regarding the Finance Board Secretary position (<a href="mailto:ak15050@umbc.edu">ak15050@umbc.edu</a>).</div></div>

<Tagline>Important RAC Update from your SGA!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Some of our SGA members have been working with the RAC and have an important update for you!<br><br><strong>Beginning this summer</strong>, the recreational weight room is 
    going under a complete renovation. This is a $75,000-85,000 project that
     will provide BRAND NEW:</span><br>
    <div><ul><li>flooring</li><li>dumbbells</li><li>selectorized machines</li><li>free weights</li><li>plated-loaded machines</li></ul></div><div>In
     addition to this, there is a possibility that the RAC could be further 
    extending its operational hours again next semester. <br><br>The new (potential)
     hours would be:<br>Monday-Friday: 7am-10pm<br>Saturday: 12pm-7pm<br>Sunday: 12pm-10pm. <br><br>Again, these hour changes <strong>ARE NOT OFFICIAL</strong>, but this is 
    something that SGA will work diligently with the RAC and to make a 
    reality.<br>
    <br></div><div>The SGA is continuing to work to establish a solid line 
    of communication with the RAC and the Athletics Department so that more 
    efforts can be made to get the students' voices heard and establish a 
    better working relationship in the future.</div></div>
