    <p>Do you have at least intermediate coding skills in Java?  Are you interested in an extremely <strong>flexible</strong> internship this Spring  in which you can perform on campus or at home?</p>
    <p><strong>National Archives and Records Administration is hosting an INFORMATION SESSION THURSDAY, December 5 from 5pm- 6pm  in Commons 318 to share more about their great internship program.</strong></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is responsible for preservation of the permanently valuable records of the federal government.  With the advent of an electronic government, the records that are created are being transferred to NARA in a variety of complex and challenging formats.  NARA is looking for assistance in developing a practical set of software tools, created through the use of best practices and agile and rapid development methods,  which can be used by them and by all federal agencies to prepare such records for transfer, further processing, and preservation.</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Well-defined requirements will be developed by NARA IT specialists, and the resulting software written by students will be tested by experienced NARA users.  The experience will encompass translating these user requirements into practical, production-ready code.  The applications that will be developed include a wide variety of interesting projects. In addition, the experience  will offer the ability to gain experience in various aspects of the software development lifecycle, including source code management and adjudicating user feedback in version releases, all in a real-world, production environment. </p>
    <p><span>Consider this unique opportunity to polish your software development skills while you participate in this important project that will help preserve the electronic records of the nation.</span></p>

<Title>Support UMBC on #GivingTuesday, 12/3</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>We’re just ONE day away from #GivingTuesday, <a href="http://umbcgiving.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/be-a-part-of-it/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">a national day of giving tomorrow, December 3rd</a>. The UMBC community is working to change the world, and on #GivingTuesday, you can help them do it.</p>
    <p>Throughout the past month, we’ve shared stories of how our students, faculty, staff, and alumni are making a difference. We took a peek at how the <a href="http://umbcgiving.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/givingtuesday-engineers-without-borders-umbc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Engineers Without Borders</a> group will bring clean water to Isongo, Kenya. We tapped our feet to songs that will be on <a href="http://umbcgiving.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/givingtuesday-qa-with-the-down-and-dirty-dawg-band/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the Down and Dirty Dawg Band’s new CD</a>. And we learned about UMBC’s mission to <a href="http://umbcgiving.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/givingtuesday-help-us-champion-diversity/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">create a more inclusive campus</a> through LGBTQ programs and initiatives.</p>
    <p>Here are just a few things the people involved with those projects had to say:</p>
    <p><a href="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/ewb-umbc_111213.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="EWB-UMBC_111213" src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/ewb-umbc_111213.jpg?w=221&amp;h=166" width="221" height="166" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>“Engineers Without Borders-UMBC relies on gifts to fulfill our mission of implementing environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects, while developing globally aware and internationally responsible students and engineers. <em>We especially appreciate gifts from alumni because we believe that EWB-UMBC not only promotes projects in the developing world, but also transformative experiences for UMBC students</em>.”</p>
    <p>~Lee Blaney, assistant professor and advisor for EWB</p>

    <p><a href="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/dawgband_gt111913.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="DawgBand_GT111913" src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/dawgband_gt111913.jpg?w=221&amp;h=164" width="221" height="164" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>“<em>[Your support] means the world to the band</em>. If you’re an alumni of the band and had a great experience, your donation will help ensure that the next generation of students have the same positive experience.”</p>
    <p>~Matt Basch ’08,  ’10, Director, Down and Dirty Dawg Band</p>

    <p><a href="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/gt_rainbow-flag_square.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="GT_rainbow flag_square" src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/gt_rainbow-flag_square.jpg?w=174&amp;h=174" width="174" height="174" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>“To support UMBC as an alum is a no-brainer. As a student, I felt the positive impact [of donor support], and <em>I want to live up to Dr. Hrabowski’s motto that of those to whom much is given, much is expected</em>.”</p>
    <p>~Chris Magaha ’03, donor to LGBTQ programs &amp; initiatives</p>
