<Title>Participating in the STARS 2.0 Public Comment Period</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Now that the <a href="https://stars.aashe.org/pages/get-involved/stars-20-public-comment-period/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">STARS 2.0 Public Comment Period</a> is open and many have had a chance to look at the review documents, it seems like a good opportunity to provide some guidance for those of you that would like to participate but are not sure where to begin.</p>
    <p>The STARS Technical Manual is a large document and reviewing it as a whole can be somewhat daunting. A couple of resources have been created to help break down and explain the proposed changes. An <a href="https://stars.aashe.org/pages/get-involved/stars-20-public-comment-period/public-comment-period-proposed-changes.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">overview of major changes being proposed</a> is available on the STARS website and specific changes are outlined more fully in the <a href="http://www.aashe.org/files/documents/STARS/stars_2.0_summary_of_proposed_changes_for_public_comment.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Summary of Proposed Changes</a> document. In addition, staff have posted a <a href="https://stars.aashe.org/pages/get-involved/stars-20-public-comment-period/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">webinar </a>covering the process of submitting feedback, as well as explanations of the major changes being proposed.</p>
    <p>After reviewing the supporting materials, there are two ways to participate (both are encouraged):</p>
    <ol>
    <li>
    <p>Submit one or more comments using the <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/aashe.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGNwc2dKNlR5TkF5M2FtM01nWi1kN3c6MA#gid=0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">online form</a>. You can submit a comment on a single credit or on an entire STARS subcategory and you may return to the form as many times as you wish. If your time is limited, one approach would be to pick an area of particular interest and focus your review and feedback there. For example, some of the more substantial changes being proposed are in the Curriculum, Climate, Grounds, Water, Planning &amp; Coordination, Diversity &amp; Affordability, Investment, and Public Engagement subcategories.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p>Complete the <a href="http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/972381/STARS-2-0-Public-Comment-Survey" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">System-Wide Issues Survey</a>. This is a brief, six-item survey covering high-level changes being considered as part of the technical development process. It represents an opportunity to weigh in on the overall structure of STARS moving forward.</p>
    </li>
    </ol>
    <p>By way of reminder, <strong>the public comment period will close November 30</strong>, so comment early and often!</p>
    <p>The draft of STARS 2.0 includes some exciting new ideas and credits and reflects a lot of thoughtful discussion and feedback on the part of STARS Participants, Technical Advisors, Steering Committee members, and others. Your participation in the Public Comment Period will help make the final version of STARS 2.0 that much stronger.</p>

<Title>Upcoming On-Campus Interview Deadlines - Fall 2012</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>On-Campus Interviews offer students a chance to conveniently interview for professional positions on campus.  Employers travel to our campus for the specific purpose of interviewing preselected students for currently open positions.  This is a great opportunity to interview with employers specifically interested in UMBC students and offers the advantage of a smaller applicant pool.  Interviews take place during the fall and spring. The logistics (viewing positions, applying, signing up for interview time slots, etc.) are all handled via UMBCworks.<br><br>Don't miss out on employers coming to UMBC to recruit YOU this fall! The following is a list of employers coming to conduct on-campus interviews with application deadlines in the next month.</p>
    <p><strong>**Sherwin-Williams</strong></p>
    <p>Interviewing on 12/7/12 (<strong>Deadline to apply via UMBCworks:  11/23/12)<br></strong>Position:  Management/Leadership Training Program<br>Majors:  All Majors<br><br></p>
