    <h4>
    <br>📅 April 28<br>🕔 5:00–7:00 p.m.<br>📍UMBC Commons, Room 329</h4>
    <br><p>Your digital presence plays a critical role in how employers, recruiters, and professional contacts perceive you, often before you ever submit an application or attend an interview. This event will help you take control of that narrative, starting with LinkedIn.</p>
    <br><p>We'll explore the value of personal branding and why LinkedIn remains one of the most powerful tools for networking, career exploration, and professional visibility. Then we'll move beyond theory and into action through guided, hands-on activities where you will:</p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>Identify your brand core and craft a clear value proposition statement</p></li>
    <li><p>Translate your strengths, interests, and goals into a brand identity board</p></li>
    <li><p>Create a custom, branded LinkedIn cover photo</p></li>
    <li><p>Participate in a show-and-tell to share your work and gather inspiration from peers</p></li>
    </ul>
    <br><p>Whether you're actively job searching, networking, or simply refining how you present yourself online, you'll leave with a clearer message, stronger visuals, and tangible updates ready to apply to your profile.</p>
    <br><p><strong>Snacks will be provided!</strong> Come with a device (laptop/iPad) to be able to work together! </p>
    <p>We hope to see you there; drop any questions in the comments below and share this with your fellow grad students!</p>

    <p>Join us for a creative and reflective afternoon of crochet, storytelling, and dialogue! Together, we'll learn crochet basics while engaging in guided conversation about identity, growth, challenges, and community. Each round of crochet will introduce a reflection prompt, creating space to craft not just yarn, but meaningful connection. No crochet experience is necessary. All materials, snacks, and refreshments will be provided. Come craft your story, connect with others, and build community stitch by stitch.</p>
