<Title>Restorative Practices Training March 21 &amp; 22</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <div>Student Conduct and Community Standards has a Building Campus Community two-day, face-to-face restorative practices workshop (our 15th iteration!) coming up over Spring Break. We are purposeful in terms of trying to offer the training during times in the academic calendar that would permit undergraduate students to participate. The workshop is <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/restorativeretrievers/events/112494" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Thursday, March 21 and Friday, March 22</a> in the Apartment Community Center</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>There is no charge for UMBC affiliates, but we ask that non-UMBC folks purchase tickets that cover the cost of their meals and training supplies. More information is available <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/restorativeretrievers/events/112494" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. While information is on myumbc, you <strong>register by going to the <a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/programs/restorative-practices/events-and-workshops-offered/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Form linked here</a>.</strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Since 2015, we have trained over 500 faculty, staff, and students in restorative practices. These techniques are useful to managing conflict and repairing harm in classrooms, workplaces, residence halls, and family systems. You won't regret the investment of two days to participate in this workshop. We hope to see you in a couple weeks! Even if you can't attend, please pass the word to a colleague. There are about 15 seats remaining. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you have questions, please reach out to <a href="http://jcullen@umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Jeff Cullen</a>, Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards.</div>

    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>Qualification: </span><span>Just like last time, your submission must consist of 1 appetizer and 1 entree. While last year was exciting, to make it a little more interesting, your team must consist of 2 dishes with one of them being strictly vegetarian. In terms of the grading rubric, your recipe’s creativity, detail, ingredients, flavor and texture, and your use of a Retriever Essentials ingredient will determine if you’re picked! For further understanding, see the rubric here:</span></p>

<Title>Study Tip of the Week: Spring Break Productivity</Title>
<Tagline>Rest and refuel!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Welcome to our Weekly Study Tip post! This week is about how to have a productive (and restful) spring break!</span><div>
    <br><div><span>You can check out our <a href="https://youtu.be/QITefE9oWrU" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">weekly video on this topic here.</a> We hope you find it helpful!</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>1. <strong>Rest and Have Fun!</strong> You deserve to actually take a break this week. Every day, try to do something fun. Get outside if the weather is nice! See friends, spend quality time with family, or go on a spontaneous day trip somewhere. You should also take this time to <strong>catch up on sleep.</strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>2. Prepare for summer or fall by <strong><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/aboutus/appointments/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">checking in with the folks at the Career Center</a></strong> - you can update your resume, talk through the internship or job search process, or even discuss whether you think you're in the right major or not. Click the above link to make an appointment!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>You should also <strong><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/handshake/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">make a Handshake account</a></strong> if you haven't yet. This is where you can <strong>search</strong> for jobs and internships, both on and off campus!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Want to work in a research lab? Check out the <strong><a href="https://biology.umbc.edu/research/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Biology</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://chemistry.umbc.edu/research/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Chemistry</a></strong> department research pages, look at what your professors are doing in their labs, and send some emails indicating your interest. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>3. Be productive! Make a list this week or early in spring break of all the tasks you want to get done throughout the week, whether that's <strong>catching up on back work</strong>, getting the preliminary work done on <strong>larger assignments</strong>, or creating some new <strong>systems for memorization</strong> and learning (pro tip: we recommend using <strong><a href="https://apps.ankiweb.net/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Anki</a></strong>). </div>
    <div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Want more tips? Come to our <strong>Wednesday Workshop </strong>all about spring break productivity this week from 12-1 PM in UC115!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Study Hall times this week:</strong></div>
    <div>Monday 2-3 </div>
    <div>Tuesday 11:30-12:30</div>
    <div>Tuesday 2:30-3:30</div>
    <div>Wednesday 11-12</div>
    <div>Wednesday 3-4</div>
    <div><strong>All study halls will take place in UC115. Please no food or drink! </strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>We will have practice exams for CHEM102, BIOL142, and PHYS121!</strong></div>

<Title>UMBC Mock Trial is heading to Nationals!</Title>
<Tagline>Mock Trial Team qualifies for 4th time in 5 years!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>A month ago I wrote to you and told you I looked forward to bringing you more good news from Mock Trial, and I am thrilled to be doing exactly that. For the fourth time in five years, the sixth time in eight years, and the first time under our new leadership, <strong>UMBC Mock Trial has earned a bid to the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) National Championship Tournament!!!!</strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I am so proud of this entire team and their amazing coaches, head coaches Thomas Azari '22 and Natalie Murray '22, and assistant coach Lauren Wotring '22, for leading our team of almost entirely underclassmen to AMTA Nationals. Over 700 teams start the year competing for a spot at Nationals, and only 48 teams earn a spot at the final competition of the year. (UMBC of course is familiar with Nationals as the 2021 National Champions, and all three coaches of this team were on that title-winning team.)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In addition to a Nationals bid, the team also earned individual awards! Team co-captain Fadil Adeite was the only attorney to earn double-sided All-National Attorney awards, and first-year member Nathan Yates was the only witness to earn double-sided All-National Witness awards. We are so proud of this entire team for their efforts and countless hours of hard work to earn a spot at Nationals.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>And now - we get to work! The team has a few days to rest, but next weekend we receive a brand new case for Nationals, and the team will travel to Chicago in April for the National Championship Tournament. Please join me in congratulating this amazing team, and as always, we are proud to represent UMBC!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
    <div>
    <div>Ben Garmoe '13</div>
    <div>Faculty Advisor, UMBC Mock Trial</div>
