    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>In addition to learning about the INDS major, you will <strong>hear from a current INDS student and an alumnae</strong> (connecting virtually) who will discuss why they chose INDS and their journey through the major. Our alum (INDS degree titled "<strong>Neurogenetics</strong>") is a PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology who was initially a double major in Biochemistry and Psychology with goals of attending medical school.</span></p>
    <p><span> This event will take place TODAY, Monday, October 16, from 12-1 PM in UC 115.</span></p>
    <p><span>The <a href="https://cnmsadvising.umbc.edu/student-success-workshop-series/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Student Success Workshop Series</a> is a valuable resource for any student looking to be more prepared!

<Title>Academic Advisors are Ready to Chat with You!</Title>
<Tagline>A run-down of advising at UMBC</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <p><span><span>Believe it or not, next month it will be time to register for the spring semester! Academic Advisors are ready and eager to chat with you about your academic progress and answer your questions about spring classes.</span></span></p>
    <p><span>The Spring 2024 schedule of classes will be available on </span><span><strong>Monday, October 23rd</strong></span><span> and you should plan to meet with your Academic Advisor before </span><span><a href="https://registrar.umbc.edu/calendars/registration-appointments/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">your registration appointment date</a></span><span>. At UMBC, students must meet with their advisor before registering for the next semester.</span></p>
    <p><span><span>Your academic advisor is a vital member of your academic support team and someone we recommend you connect with regularly to take full advantage of their support when it comes to:</span></span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><span>Your adjustment to college</span></li>
    <li><span>Major and career choices</span></li>
    <li><span>Course selection</span></li>
    <li><span>Long-term academic planning</span></li>
    <li><span>Academic difficulty</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>Academic "extras" such as minors, internships, education abroad, etc. </span><span> </span>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <div><div>
    <p><span>Before your advising appointment, you can review your degree card on your </span><span><span><em>myUMBC</em></span></span><span> Profile. This allows you to:</span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><span>Access your Academic Advisor’s contact information</span></li>
    <li><span>Develop and update your degree plan</span></li>
    <li><span>Check your degree progress</span></li>
    <li><span>See how coursework transferred over from your previous institution</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>Access suggested</span><a href="https://apps.my.umbc.edu/pathways/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span> four-year pathways</span></a><span> for completing your degree program </span><span> </span>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div></div>
    <div><div>
    <p><span>Additionally, you can develop a list of questions/topics to discuss with your Academic Advisor in order to structure your meeting. To help with that conversation, ask yourself:</span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><span>How am I doing in my major?</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>Do I need to make any changes or seek </span><a href="https://academicsuccess.umbc.edu/student-resources/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>academic support</span></a><span> next semester?</span>
    </li>
    <li><span>How long will it take me to complete all my coursework?</span></li>
    <li><span>Does my academic plan contain all my GEPs, upper-level credits, and writing intensive?</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>Should I plan to take a</span><a href="https://winter.umbc.edu/all-courses" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span> winter class</span></a><span>?</span>
    </li>
    <li><span>Are there other topics I'm interested in exploring by adding a minor or certificate program?</span></li>
    <li>
    <span>What’s the best way to get in touch with you if I have further questions? </span><span> </span>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div></div>
    <div><div>
    <p><span><strong>Supplemental Advising</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>If you are pursuing a pre-professional pathway or have questions about these pathways, you can seek non-mandatory advising through the following places:</span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="https://alliedhealth.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><span>Office for Academic &amp; Pre-Professional Advising - Allied Health Advising</span></span></a></li>

    <div><strong>1-2pm Friday, October 20, 2023, via <a href="https://umbc.webex.com/meet/sherman" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">WebEx</a> </strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>With traditional election technologies, voters have little choice but to trust that others will curate and count their votes properly. They must trust their local election officials; they must trust the equipment that they use and, by extension, the vendors who built and programmed the equipment; and they must trust numerous other individuals and processes of which they may not even be aware. Even with hand-counted paper ballots, individual voters can observe at most a tiny fraction of the process and must trust others to ensure that the election tallies are correct. We can do better.  This talk will show how "end-to-end verifiability" can be used in elections to enable voters to confirm for themselves that their votes have been accurately counted -- without having to trust any software, hardware, or personnel. This strategy is not just an academic exercise. Systems have been built and piloted in actual elections, and there is reason to be optimistic about broader deployments in the near future.</div>

    <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/benaloh/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Josh Benaloh</a> is the Senior Principal Cryptographer at Microsoft Research and an Affiliate Professor in the Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. His 1987 doctoral dissertation, "Verifiable Secret-Ballot Elections," introduced the use of homomorphic encryption to enable election verifiability, and he has published and spoken extensively on election technologies and systems. Dr. Benaloh is an author of numerous studies and reports including the 2015 U.S. Vote Foundation report on "The Future of Voting," the 2018 U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report "Securing the Vote -- Protecting American Democracy," and a 2022 report on the feasibility of Internet voting by the Goldman School of Public Policy of the University of California at Berkeley. He currently chairs the over 200-member Election Verification Network and is the principal designer of Microsoft's free, open-source ElectionGuard toolkit which is being used by numerous vendors to incorporate end-to-end verifiability into their election systems.</div>
