    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Three Questions With … is an opportunity to celebrate and learn more about staff in the Division of Student Affairs. This month, get to know Tanya Voronin, business services specialist, Student Affairs Business Services Center!</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Name </strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Tanya Voronin</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Title</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>Business Services Specialist</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Years in Student Affairs/UMBC</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>5 in Student Affairs and 7 at UMBC (I worked in the Provost’s Office for two years.)</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>UMBC Parent Info</strong></span></p>
    <p><span>I am a parent of a future student, Elizabeth Voronin. She will start in fall 2024 and major in business.</span></p>
    <p><span><em><strong>What is something you do as part of your position that people may not be aware of?</strong></em></span></p>
    <p><span>I do not know if people are aware of all the support services that SABSC provides. As a business services specialist, one of my duties is to provide support for employee onboarding and offboarding processes. I also work with international students and staff. I know both Ukrainian and Russian languages and can better assist international students by speaking with them in their native language.</span></p>
    <p><span><em><strong>What is one of the most important things you’ve learned during your time here? </strong></em></span></p>
    <p><span>Working with students is a meaningful and rewarding endeavor! Whether you are a teacher, tutor or a person who completes their onboarding process, you can have a profound impact on their life and futures. Watching students grow and develop the most important thing to me. I have learned that working with students allows me to grow alongside them, as each interaction provides opportunities for reflection, growth and improvement.</span></p>
    <p><span><em><strong>What do you like to do for fun and/or is something you are passionate about outside of work? </strong></em></span></p>
    <p><span>I like to grow flowers, vegetables, and herbs. Also, I like to walk and be active. Every day I walk a whole university loop–around 2.1 miles–during my lunch break. I like to walk by myself or with my friends and explore new areas. I enjoy observing the changing seasons, and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings.</span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span><span>("Three Questions With Tanya Voronin" will be published in the April 2024 issue of "DoSA Matters," the division's internal e-newsletter.)</span></span></p>

    <div>Several decades of research have led to current advances in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). These advancements hold promise for solving major challenges facing human society – from mitigating climate change to increasing food production, designing smart cities, and optimizing scarce resources. All these problems share a common thread: they are inherently rooted in space and time. Remote sensing data serves as a prime example of spatial big data. NASA recently collected its 10 millionth Landsat image. The coarse-resolution (30 m) Landsat collection itself surpasses a petabyte in size, while private satellite data producer MAXAR holds more than 125 petabytes of high-resolution data. Applications such as disease mapping, crop monitoring, and urban studies all rely on this data. We present recent advances in GeoAI that analyze these multimodal datasets and show their applications in various fields, including climate-smart agriculture, slum mapping, and critical infrastructure monitoring.</div>

    <p><span>From Trash to Treasure: Toxic Tourism, Subjunctive Measures of Safety, and Redevelopment in the Baltimore Inner Harbor</span></p>

    <p>The Baltimore Inner Harbor has long been a site of immense industrial production. Since the 1700s, the resulting pollution has become synonymous with the Inner Harbor, creating a distinct notion that the water was inherently harmful to those who came into contact with it. The question for many has become, “What do we do about it?” This study explores how people around the Baltimore Inner Harbor perceive and work to rehabilitate water and water life in areas long deemed polluted. One innovative way that some have chosen to help rehabilitate the harbor is by using magnets to fish out metal debris in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Magnet fishing is a practice that uses large neodymium magnets and grappling hooks tied to heavy ropes to collect metal refuse that lies below the surface of the water. Using ethnographic methods, including participant observation and interviewing, this project explores these perceptions through the lens of those who come into direct contact with pollutants while magnet fishing in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. This exploration of people’s relationship with the Inner Harbor provides important insight into current debates about risk and redevelopment in the Inner Harbor area.</p>

    <p>This research project surveyed 70 individuals across Maryland to explore perceptions of “defund the police” in the context of the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement and subsequent public opinion shifts. Through a comparative analysis considering race, class, gender, and political identity, the study examines Maryland residents’ evolving perspectives on this phrase from 2020 to 2023. The project generated a map featuring 18 profiles derived from survey responses, offering geographical insights into diverse viewpoints across the state, encompassing rural, suburban, and urban populations. By delving into individuals’ experiences and understanding how perspectives intersect, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of this culturally significant issue. Noting from the data collected, 66 out of 70 responses share the stance on issues relating to how police-to-resident interactions are handled since 2020. This approach offers a nuanced exploration of the topic, shedding light on the complex dynamics shaping public opinion in Maryland regarding the “defund the police” movement.</p>

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Ousmane Diop</Title>
<Tagline>Self-portrait photo exhibition and artist's talk</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>Infinite Spectrum: A Queer Self-Portrait Exhibition, Echoes of Mapplethorpe, Muholi and many other Queer Artists</span></p>
    <p><span>Ousmane Diop</span>, Arts<br>Mentor: Dr. Julie Oakes, History</p>
    <p>Infinite Spectrum is an evocative self-portrait exhibition that draws inspiration from the impactful legacies of Robert Mapplethorpe and Zanele Muholi, bringing forth a deeply personal exploration of the queer experience. This project seeks to amplify individual voices within the LGBTQIA+ community by providing a platform for artists to express the nuances, challenges, and triumphs of their unique journeys. The self-portraits featured in this project will transcend conventional boundaries, employing a myriad of mediums such as photography. Artists are encouraged to delve into the raw authenticity of their lived experiences, embracing the influence of Mapplethorpe’s unapologetic exploration of sexuality and Muholi’s unyielding commitment to documenting black LGBTQIA+ narratives. This research unfolds as a kaleidoscopic journey, reflecting the diversity within the queer community. Each self-portrait serves as a vibrant brushstroke contributing to a larger canvas that honors the multiplicity of queer identities. Infinite Spectrum seeks to create an immersive experience, inviting viewers to navigate the intricacies of queer existence. By channeling the spirit of Mapplethorpe and Muholi, Infinite Spectrum aspires to be more than an art exhibition; it aims to be a celebration, a testament, and a testament to the resilience and beauty inherent in the queer experience.</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Ousmane's photography exhibit will be on display in the UC  third floor lobby, all day, and his oral presentation will be in room UC 312 from 10-10:15am.</p>

    <div>You have intercepted a photo from a secure channel. It depicts a seemingly abandoned building, but intel suggests it will be the location of a high-level hacker meeting. The problem? There's no location information attached to the photo, but we do know that it was taken in 2011 and that the group likes hanging out by the <em>Mediterranean Sea.</em>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Your mission is to leverage Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques to identify the <strong>MAJOR CITY</strong> nearest to this building. Time is critical! Local authorities need to be alerted before the meeting takes place.</div>

When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong><br>I went to a UMBC Connects: Employers in Creative Careers event.
