    </p>
    <p>We're excited
    to announce a new feature in PeopleSoft HR: <strong>My WorkView</strong>!</p>
    
    <p>My WorkView is
    a new, user-friendly tile within PeopleSoft HR. It's designed to be your
    one-stop shop for key employment information, bringing together your
    compensation history and timesheet portal into a single, convenient location.</p>
    
    <p><strong>What's new?</strong><br>
    My WorkView currently allows you to view your compensation history and access
    your electronic timesheet.</p>
    
    <p><strong>Why did we
    add this feature?</strong><br>
    This feature is designed to give you more transparency and control over your
    personal information. This is the first phase of My WorkView. We are actively
    working to add more functionalities soon. Planned additions include the ability
    to view your detailed paycheck information and other personal employee data,
    further consolidating your access to important information.</p>
    
    <p><strong>How to
    access it</strong><br>
    Once you log into PeopleSoft HR, you will see the "My WorkView" tile
    on your homepage. Simply click the tile to open the new portal.</p>
    <p>If you do not see the tile immediately, please clear your browser cache and cookies. Instructions can be found here: <a href="https://clear-my-cache.com/detect.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://clear-my-cache.com/detect.html</a></p>

    <p><strong>Who should I
    contact for support?<br></strong>For questions
    about the content of your timesheet or compensation history, please reach out
    to your direct supervisor or HR department representative.</p>
    
    <p>For any
    technical issues or error messages within My WorkView, please submit a support
    ticket via our RT system at <a href="https://hr.umbc.edu/support/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">HR Help</a></p>

    <div><strong>UMBC PUBLIC STORIES LAB STORYTELLING SCHOLARSHIP</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>The Storytelling Scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year have been announced. The application, <a href="https://forms.gle/MvCefHnSNhYWTY8z6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">which can be accessed here</a>, is intended for UMBC students (both undergraduate and graduate) to 
    apply for a $500 scholarship to support storytelling research and 
    praxis. The deadline to submit for the 2025-2026 academic year is Friday, October 17th; scholarship
     recipients will be contacted if further information about their project
     is requested and final scholarship decisions will be made by November 
    15th.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Public Stories Lab engages and supports a broad variety of public
     storytelling research and praxis. We encourage applications from 
    students across UMBC colleges (COEIT, CNMS, CAHSS, Social Work, Erickson
     School) and campuses (UMBC Catonsville, Shady Grove). Projects might 
    include digital storytelling, podcasting, story mapping, oral histories,
     immersive storytelling, public storytelling performances, oral storytelling traditions, visual storytelling (animation, comics, zines), data stories, and more! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Scholarship
     recipients will be expected to attend one mentoring session with PSL 
    mentors and other scholarship recipients and share their storytelling 
    project (finished or in progress) at the PSL Storytelling Mini-Fest at 
    the end of the Spring 2026 semester. The Public Stories
     Lab (PSL) is a collaborative and innovative hub for faculty, students, 
    and staff to co-construct knowledge and to bring relationships and stories to the center of research and pedagogy; proposals for this scholarship should align with the mission of the PSL. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you have any questions before you submit, please email Charlotte Keniston (<a href="mailto:ckenist1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ckenist1@umbc.edu</a>), or Sarah Jewett (<a href="mailto:sjewett@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sjewett@umbc.edu</a>). </div>
