    <strong>Madison McLaren</strong><strong> <br></strong>
    </h4>‘23 chemical engineering - biotechnology &amp; bioengineering track
    <p><strong>Where did you conduct your research: </strong></p>
    <p>Dr. Hennigan's lab, UMBC</p>
    <p><strong>When did you start your research on campus?</strong></p>
    <p>I started my research in June of 2022. I was partnered with Dr. Hennigan through the <a href="https://lsamp.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>LSAMP</em></a> program, which I participated in during the summer of 2022. For the fall semester, I was hired under Dr. Hennigan as an undergraduate student researcher and I plan to continue to research in the lab until graduation in May of 2023.</p>
    <p><strong>What is the focus of your research/internship?</strong></p>
    <p>The focus of my research is to study brown carbon content in cloud water. Brown carbon is light absorbing organic material that has an effect on climate change.</p>
    <p><strong>What advice do you have for students who are interested in getting involved in research or an internship?</strong></p>
    <p>Reach out to professors and do your research on other clubs and organizations on campus. Your connections are your best bet in getting involved in a lab.</p>
    <p><strong>Are you a member of any clubs/campus organizations?</strong></p>
    <p>AIChE, Tau Beta Pi. </p>
    <p><strong>What are your goals after graduation?</strong></p>
    <p>I will be attending Rice University to obtain a PhD in biomedical engineering starting Fall 2023</p>

<Title>Updates: The Pride Center</Title>
<Tagline>End Of Semester Hours, Programs, Cord Pickup &amp; Other FAQs</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Good afternoon Pride Center community members!<div><br></div>
    <div>As another academic year is wrapping up, our staff would like to take a moment to congratulate all of the upcoming graduates. We would also like to provide some end-of-year updates with respect to some of the FAQs that we have received over the past few weeks. Feel free to spread this to your networks. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Pride Center Name Extension</strong></div>
    <div>As mentioned in previous messages and our recent social media communications, the deadline for voting on the name extension of The Pride Center is MONDAY 05/22/2022 by NOON. We invite both those within the community, as well as our allies to cast their votes. The name will be unveiled during our Lavender Celebration. Please click <a href="https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9HMJumbPjniwbr0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a> to be redirected to the Name Extension Survey.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Pride Center Adjusted Hours for Finals Week and Summer</strong></div>
    <div>Today is the last day that The Pride Center will operate under its regular Spring Hours, closing at 9:30 pm. We will also have special hours tomorrow, Friday 05/19 from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm. <strong><em>Our center will close for the summer starting next week, Monday 05/22/2023, and will remain closed throughout the summer. </em></strong>We expect to reopen on the first day of Fall classes. Please note, that the space will not be reservable for any non-i3b related events, meetings, and/or trainings. Our staff will be available to meet upon request both in person or virtually. If you are curious about all of our spaces, please click <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/themosaic/posts/133470" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a> to be redirected to all of our hours. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>The 10th Annual Lavender Celebration</strong></div>
    <div>Our 10th Annual Lavender Celebration final event for the Spring semester. Please check out the full post <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/themosaic/events/117740" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. </div>
    <div><strong>Reminders: </strong></div>
    <div>You do not need to participate in the Social Media Campaign in order to receive your cords, however, YOU MUST complete the form linked on the myUMBC post in order to receive the cord. Please read the form in its entirety. You may contact our staff if you have any issues with completing the form. </div>
    <div>An RSVP is not required to attend the graduation, however, we will grant priority to those who do so. If you are a student, staff, or faculty member who plans on bringing loved ones who are non-UMBC members, please include them in your head count on our RSVP form. </div>
    <div>
    <strong>Cord Pickup: </strong>If you cannot attend the graduation or would not like to be named at the graduation, there will be pickup times for students on Tuesday, May 23 at The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being (IMPORTANT: We will only account for those who have filled out the form PRIOR to the Lavender graduation). </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>SafeZone: </strong>Our SafeZone LGBTQIA2+ Allyship Development Workshop is back for the first time since our return to campus. Whether you are new to the program or have taken it already, we advise you to take the training as part of a refresher. All of our workshop dates are posted on our myUMBC pages on the following dates. <strong><em>An RSVP is REQUIRED!</em></strong>

    <div>We are so excited at the amount of growth in our departmental area within the past year. We will be reaching out to our LGBTQIA2+-centered organizations and close partners in the upcoming weeks to vision what the 2023-2024 year will bring. If you are interested in collaborating with us in any way, please do not hesitate to email me directly or i3b at <a href="http://i3b@umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">i3b@umbc.edu</a>.

    <p><strong><span> </span></strong><strong><span>What is

    <p>Handshake is a University recruitment platform

    for employers to post open positions. Handshake is free of charge for users,
    and provides the option to post opportunities to more than one participating institution
    at a time.</p>
    
    <p><span> </span><strong><span>What
    type of staff opportunities should be posted on Handshake?</span></strong></p>
    <p>If you currently have an opportunity that
    would be suitable for a soon-to-be graduate, a recent undergraduate or graduate
    degree recipient <em><u>within the last year</u></em>,
    Handshake can be an additional way to reach potential candidates.</p>
    
    <p><span> </span><strong><span>How do

    will need to be live on the <a href="https://listings.umbc.edu/cw/en-us/listing/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Jobs website</a>
    before posting on Handshake.</p>
    
    <p>Please list Handshake in the <strong>Other Advertising Sources</strong> field on the
    job requisition.  There is a reminder on
    the requisition to prompt you to enter Handshake.  Human Resources Talent Acquisition creates a
    specialized URL link for Handshake that will be listed in the Notes section
    found at the top of the job requisition. 
    It is important that you use this specialized URL as your application
    link when posting the job on Handshake.</p>
