    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <strong>Name: </strong>Thomas Hammond</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Pronouns: </strong>He/Him/His</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Semester of Internship:</strong> Summer 2023</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Major: </strong>BFA in Graphic Design</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Current Class Level:</strong> Junior</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>This semester I completed a(n)...: </strong>Internship</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): </strong>The Historical Society of Harford County</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Location of the Organization (City, State): </strong>Bel Air, Maryland</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Title of position: </strong>Intern Graphic Designer</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:</strong></div>
    <div>As an intern for the Historical Society of Harford County, I have several responsibilities and tasks to complete throughout the week. On Wednesdays, I meet in person to discuss topics such as creating flyers and social media posts, new signage, and a wide range of other design-related tasks. During the meeting, I lay out a plan of action for what deliverables I will work on for the next 7 days. During this time, I will  periodically send updates of designs virtually. After a week has passed, I attend the weekly Wednesday meeting to provide the final designs and proceed to discuss the upcoming week's plan of action.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div>
    <div>I found this position through their website over my winter break. They posted that they needed interns, especially a design intern, and I decided to apply. I emailed the director and set up a time to come into their main building for an interview. The interview process was very smooth and I had the chance to provide my graphic design portfolio. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What resources did you use to find your current experience?</strong></div>
    <div>LinkedIn or other social media</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?</strong></div>
    <div>What I enjoy most about this position is the experience to practice professional skills and receive helpful feedback. I have had to take a lot of initiative in-order to schedule meetings, set personal deadlines and develop new creative ideas. Overall, this internship is a nice glance into what I will be doing with my degree in the future.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div>
    <div>The biggest impact I've made through this experience is helping engage my community with my designs. The Historical Society of Harford County works to preserve records and artifacts and serves as a way for Harford County residents to learn more about local history. My designs help spread exposure of our resources to members of the community.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?</strong></div>
    <div>My advice for students seeking internships is to be proactive. Do research on what places nearby might need the help of an intern. Sometimes there will be a place on a company's website about open positions. LinkedIn, Handshake and the Career Center are great tools as well. Overall, do some digging to find an opportunity that is right for you.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div>
    <div>The Career Center has been a huge help with setting foundational guidelines to get the most out of your internship. Don't be afraid to reach out to the Career Center and the additional resources UMBC has to offer.</div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Updates About Ongoing Campus Upgrades</Title>
<Tagline>We are continuing to respond to remediation efforts</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Dear UMBC Community,<br><br>As we gear up for the start of the fall semester, I'd like to share some updates regarding ongoing work throughout campus.<br><br>Efforts are still underway to repair the <strong>Admin elevators</strong>, and we currently anticipate that one will be back in service in early October. We know this is disappointing based on our anticipated timeline. Facilities Management is actively collaborating with our elevator contractor, as well as the state, to expedite this work. Stay <a href="https://umbc.edu/about/administration-building-closure/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">updated online</a> on where customer-facing functions will be performed.<br><br>Progress also continues on the two <strong>Biology elevators</strong>, which sustained damage in December as well. One of these elevators will be back in service by mid-October. <br><br>The <strong>Math/Psych elevator</strong> upgrade project is advancing with one elevator (the one closest to Biology) set to be complete in mid-September. Subsequently, the other Math/Psych elevator (closest to Sondheim Hall) will be taken out of service for its upgrade.<br><br>Both the <strong>Meyerhoff Chemistry Building and Schwartz Hall</strong> suffered damage to their cooling coils in December. Replacement coils have now been received and the process to replace these coils will begin next week. We anticipate that the HVAC systems in both of these buildings will be fully functional by mid-September.<br><br>The perimeter of the <strong>Sherman Hall</strong> Phase 1 renovation project construction zone has been established. Signage is currently being posted and this process will continue over the next several days. Please read the signage and follow directions in the vicinity of the construction area.  <br><br>Below is a list of the units that have been relocated out of Sherman Hall and where they are currently located:<br><br><strong>Education</strong> has relocated to Sondheim Hall, Suite 304<br><br><strong>Emergency Health Services</strong> has relocated to 900 Walker, Suite 101<br><br><strong>Language Literacy, and Culture</strong> has relocated to Sherman Hall East, Room 457<br><br><strong>New Media Studios</strong> has relocated to Engineering Building 021<br><br><strong>Office of the Vice President for Undergraduate Academic Affairs</strong> has relocated to Sherman Hall East, Room 128<br><br><strong>Academic Engagement and Transition Programs</strong> has relocated to Sherman Hall East, Room 345<br><br><strong>The Sherman STEM Scholars Program</strong> has relocated to Sherman Hall East, Room 332<br><br><strong>The Facilities Management Steamfitters office</strong> has been relocated to Facilities Management 109<br><br>For information on other construction projects throughout the campus, please visit <a href="https://fm.umbc.edu/info-2/latest-campus-maps-and-aerials/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this link</a> and click on the <a href="https://fm.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/357/2023/05/UMBC_Campus_Construction_Map_Summer_2023F.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2023 Summer Construction Map</a>.<br><br><em>Senior Associate Vice President for Administrative Services Lenn Caron, P.E.</em><br><br>
