    <p><span>Are you wondering when or if we will encounter other life in the universe? How will we even know what to look for? On Earth, proteins form the basic structure of all living things. From amoebas to humans, all proteins are made by combining the same 20 building blocks—called amino acids—in different ways. Just as there are 26 letters in the modern English alphabet, these 20 amino acids make up an alphabet that enables and sustains all life on Earth. But what might the amino acid alphabet look like on another planet? And what Earthly applications might there be for an alternative amino acid alphabet? Join us for a talk about the work underway at UMBC, in collaboration with international partners, to build the world’s first example of an alien, or “xeno,” amino acid alphabet.</span></p>

    <span>Breia Lassiter, 2018 English Alumna, now working as an Associate Attorney for Dinsmore &amp; Shohl. In her work as a law student clinician, Ms. Lassiter successfully advocated for the rights of an incarcerated man who was not receiving his religious meal accommodations from the prison. For months he could hardly eat anything that was served to him, and she was able to argue on his behalf as a student clinician at Michigan’s Sixth Circuit. The court published the opinion ruling in his favor. She will speak on her work in this specific case.</span><br><br><span>Walter Lomax, Executive Director, Maryland Restorative Justice Initiative.  Mr. Lomax was unjustly incarcerated in a Baltimore area prison for 39 years for crimes he didn’t commit.  Since his release in 2007,  he has used his voice to become a powerful, influential advocate for criminal justice reform in MD. He is the founder and leader of the Maryland Restorative Justice Initiative. In 2021, The Walter Lomax Act (Senate Bill 14) was signed into law, overhauling how the state compensates people who are wrongfully convicted, sentenced, and incarcerated for crimes.</span><br><br><span>Natasha Dartigue (Esq),  Office of the Public Defender, Baltimore, MD. She was just appointed in 2022 as Maryland's Public Defender and served in a related capacity in advocating for the rights of the incarcerated for more than twenty years.  She and her office have been associated with helping exonerate a number of individuals recently. Ms. Dartigue will speak about the work of the Maryland Office of the Public Defender. On March 18, 1963, the United States Supreme Court guaranteed the right to counsel to indigent defendants in criminal cases in the landmark case, Gideon v. Wainwright.  On July 1, 1971, the Maryland Legislature created the Maryland Office of the Public Defender (OPD). OPD opened its doors in 1972 and is an independent state agency.</span><br><br><span>Cosponsors: Alumni Association; History, Political Science, American Studies, GWST, Social Sciences; and the Dresher Center for the Humanities</span>

<Title>GAAC Meet and Confer w. CAHSS Deans and Department Chairs</Title>
<Tagline>Reminder: CAHSS GAs, It's time to voice your concerns !!!</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div><strong>What is Meet and Confer (M&amp;C)?</strong></div>
    <div>Meet and Confer (M&amp;C) is a policy within the University System of Maryland (USM) that allows Graduate Assistants to participate in formal discussions with the administration regarding employment-related matters, including compensation and benefits. To learn more about M&amp;C, please visit the <a href="https://gsa.umbc.edu/gaac/documentation-library-on-mc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC website.</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>M&amp;C Meetings- Spring '24</strong></div>
    <div>This year, we have adopted a new approach by organizing separate M&amp;C meetings for each college at UMBC. This strategy is designed to address specific issues facing Graduate Assistants within individual colleges and departments in a more focused manner. Additionally, we have extended invitations to department chairs to ensure that department-level administration actively participates in resolving GA-related concerns, in collaboration with graduate school administration.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The <strong>CAHSS M&amp;C Meeting is scheduled for April 15th</strong>, and we strongly encourage all <strong>GAs from CAHSS Departments</strong> to complete <strong>the <a href="https://forms.gle/pnMjhBpd9Ussog1V9" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">survey</a></strong>. Your input will allow you to voice your concerns and issues to the Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, who will present them at the M&amp;C meetings for discussion and resolution.</div>
