    <li>What advice would you give a brand new UMBC student? </li>
    <li>Why are you glad to be part of UMBC?</li>
    <li>What do you/your team have to offer new students that will help them as they start their time at UMBC?</li>
    <li>Who can new students turn to for help and support? </li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
