<Title>Introducing a New help.umbc.edu Page</Title>
<Tagline>Take a look at this new self-service portal!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>We're thrilled to unveil the brand new<strong> <a href="https://help.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">help.umbc.edu</a> </strong>page, designed to assist our campus community better than ever before. Over the past several months, our team within DoIT has been diligently crafting this self-service help center to address all your needs. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>How to get there: </strong>Access this page from the "Help" link at the top of your myUMBC page or by going directly to <strong><a href="http://help.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">help.umbc.edu</a>.</strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>With input from various campus stakeholders, we've revamped the front-end help experience to provide a keyword-driven tool. The new help.umbc.edu is divided into three convenient Centers: "Academic &amp; Student Services," "Administrative Services," and "Computing &amp; Technology."</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Our intelligent search features ensure you'll find what you're looking for. If you happen to be in the wrong center, you’ll see similar results from other centers and the top <a href="https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/faq/overview" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">FAQs</a> relevant to your search. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>We value your feedback: </strong>If you spot any areas for improvement or have suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know by <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQ-S3dU2hjJyHmd4Lw_xcbPoylWsFltTzjZlJuw9cuYwSeyA/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">clicking here</a>. Your input will help us continuously enhance this experience, refining search terms and content as we go. Thank you for being part of this journey!</div>
