    <div class="html-content">1. Completion of the Basic Experiential Learning Info Tab is due Friday, June 27 by 11:59 pm. If you have not already completed this item, please take time to fill it out as soon as possible. You do not need to have detailed paragraphs for your Learning Objectives and Action Plan, but please ensure that your responses are thoughtful enough so we have a good sense of exactly what it is you are doing this summer.  <br><br>As a reminder, to complete the Basic Info Tab:<br><br>1) Log into your myUMBC account<br>2) Go to the TOPICS menu<br>3) Click on JOBS and INTERNSHIPS<br>4) Click on UMBCworks<br>5) On the homepage of your UMBCworks account, look under MORE at the bottom of the right hand side of the screen and click on "Intern/Co-op/Research/Service Requirements"<br>6) Click on EDIT under your *current* internship, co-op or research placement. This will take you directly to the BASIC INFO tab.<br><br>2. Mid-placement Review: For those students concurrently enrolled in Academic Credit (e.g., HONR410, PSYC398, etc) who are in their 1st semester at their internship, please note that you are also required to set up a mid-placement conference call or visit between June 23 and July 18.  These meetings may be scheduled by calling 410-455-2216.  If you have been at your internship more than 1 semester or are not enrolled in credit for Summer or Fall (i.e., you are ONLY in PRAC for your internship), the Review is optional.<br><br>3.

    </div>
    <p>Did you know that last year more than 65% of UMBC’s full-time undergraduate students applied for financial aid?</p>
    <p>Unfortunately, more than a quarter of those students didn’t receive all—if any—of the support they so desperately need. What’s worse is that it’s often a very small amount of money that holds students back from getting the education they need to survive and succeed in today’s economy.</p>
    <p>That’s why we’re turning to you. <strong>The great thing about Retrievers is that you know the importance of community support.</strong></p>
    <p>Together, <a href="https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1325/UMBC-template-social.aspx?sid=1325&amp;gid=1&amp;pgid=564&amp;cid=1258" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">we can make sure that our students finish school</a> and get the degree that will help them throughout their lives.</p>
    <p>Every gift, no matter the size, will move us forward. Please support UMBC students with a gift, today. When you do, you’ll change someone’s life.</p>

<Title>Campus Plaza closing Thursday, June 26</Title>
<Tagline>New pedetrian routes will be open and signs posted</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>On Thursday, June 26, 2014 the contractor for the New Entrance Project will close the gates around the Plaza between Admin Building and the RAC. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Over the last few weeks the Project Team has been preparing the site and finalizing plans with the Maryland Department of the Environment to protect our environment during the project. Construction to the Plaza site has been approved and work can now begin. <span><strong>This closure will be in place until August 15, 2014</strong>, after which </span><span>the work area and building entrance points will change</span><span>. We will be sure to provide you with updates and new signage at that time.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The doors of buildings adjacent to the Plaza, such as Admin, the RAC and one of the entrances to Sondheim, will be closed with emergency access only. There will be signs leading occupants to the alternative building entrances.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To access the Admin building, visitors will need to use the side entrance by the coffee shop. If you plan to commute to other campus areas and buildings from the main entrance, including Sondheim and Sherman Hall, detour signs will direct you behind the Admin building and through Sherman Hall court yard. For more direct access to the main campus walkway, use the path between Admin and Sherman Hall. A temporary enclosed path adjacent the construction site has been created to the front entrance of the RAC. <span>Administration Drive and the Admin Garage will remain open during this construction phase.</span>
    </div>
