<Title>Donald Norris, Public Policy, in The Baltimore Sun</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>In a letter sent out Thursday by his federal political action committee, Gov. Martin O’Malley called for support for a higher minimum wage in Maryland. The letter was coordinated with a social media push urging supporters to sign a petition for an increased minimum wage.</p>
    <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/donald-norris-umbc.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="Donald Norris UMBC" src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/donald-norris-umbc.jpg" width="200" height="180" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p>Public Policy Professor and Chair Donald Norris was interviewed for an article in <em>The Baltimore Sun </em>about O’Malley’s call for support. By sending out the message through his federal PAC, he is reaching a national audience while considering a run for president in 2016.  </p>
    <p>“He’s using his federal PAC to say, ‘Here’s what I’m in favor of’ to build support among those folks,” Norris said. </p>
    <p>The state’s minimum wage is among the leading issues in the race to succeed Gov. O’Malley. </p>
    <p>You can read the full article in <em>The Baltimore Sun </em><a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-omalley-wage-20131107,0,254162.story" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. </p>

<Title>Amy Berbert &#8217;17 is Winner of USM Foundation Art Contest</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Freshman Amy Berbert was awarded the grand prize last month for her submission in the second annual USM Foundation Art Contest. The winning art piece meant to illustrate this year’s theme — a Steve Jobs quote, “I want to put a ding on the universe” — will be featured in December on the cover of the USM Foundation Annual Report.</p>
    <p>The winning entry, one of 88 submissions from faculty, staff and students throughout the University System, was selected because Berbert’s artwork “was clear, concise, and offered a literal and thoughtful translation of the quote.”</p>
    <p>Read more information about the contest and the four runners up at the <a href="http://www.usmf.org/blog/post/usm-foundation-art-contest-winners-announced" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">USM Foundation’s blog</a>. Berbert’s artwork along with the pieces submitted by the runners up will be presented on the blog this December.</p>
