<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Viridiana Colosio-Martinez</Title>
<Tagline>Bilingualism and Cultural Identity in the Latinx Community</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">URCAD is April 18-24, online! Viridiana is a URA Scholar who will be presenting the research that she conducted for her award.<div>URCAD.umbc.edu</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Bilingualism And Cultural Identity In The Latinx Community</strong></div>
    <div><span>Presenter: Viridiana Colosio-Martinez</span></div>
    <div><span>Mentor: Tania Lizarazo (MLLI)</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Abstract:</span></div>
    <div><span><span>Latinx cultural identity is constantly under pressure to be one feature at home and within the community, but to be something else outside. One difficulty faced by Latinx individuals when embracing bilingualism as their cultural identity is the stigmatization and stereotyping of being gangbangers, minimum wage workers, and hypersexualized femme fatale as part of their Latinx authenticity. Commonly, the Latinx cultural identity is generalized as only one culture. Many Latinxs have to constantly prove their English competency at school or at their workplace, living in fear and with anxiety to be replaced by their monolingual or bilingual peers that have no accent and sound more American. There is a misconception supporting the idea that learning more than one language affects developmental milestones in children. Therefore, some educators will suggest to Latinx families avoiding teaching their children their native language because this will affect their acquisition of standard English and ultimately affect their school performance. Translanguaging when speaking both languages is preferred by Latinxs because they identify their bilingualism as one repertory that uses either language depending on the need. This study may be relevant for the inclusion of bilingual individuals not only within UMBC but also in a globalized world.</span></span></div>

The panel will meet this May to review proposals submitted in response to the NASA Research Announcement: <a href="https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?solId=%7b9C5CDB21-B9B4-AFE8-8435-052107DDDAEA%7d&amp;path=&amp;method=init" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ROSES-21 A.49 NNH21ZDA001N-EEJ.</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The A.49 solicitation looks to advance progress on equity and environmental justice (EEJ) domestically through the application of Earth science, geospatial, and socioeconomic information. The solicitation focuses on three elements: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>1. Landscape analyses to support characterization of EJ communities to support planning and investment decisions on EEJ</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>2. Community-based feasibility projects to test ways to address EEJ issues facing communities with the help of Earth science information </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>3. Data integration projects that combine Earth science information and socioeconomic datasets relevant to EEJ topics and communities. </div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Congratulations to Mansoor Shehzad - Phi Kappa Phi</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate Research Award</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Mansoor Shehzad, of Ellicott City, MD was recently selected as one of two recipients of the 2022 Undergraduate Research Award from The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 22BC University of Maryland-University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UM-UMBC).</p>
    <p>Each spring, the chapter's awards committee selects two applicants to receive $500 each for this prestigious honor on the recommendation of the Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) Committee.</p>
    <p><span>Mansoor was selected by the awards committee for his innovative research abstract and strong letter of support from his mentor, L. Michael Hayden. </span></p>
    <div>
    <strong>Mansoor Shehzad, </strong>Physics</div>
    <div>
    <strong>Title of Research: </strong>Creating An Asynchronous Optical Sampling-Based THz-Imaging System To Detect Defects On Metal Armor</div>
    <div>
    <strong>Mentor: </strong><strong> </strong>L. Michael Hayden, Physics</div>
    <div><strong>Abstract: </strong></div>
    <div><span><em>The aim of this project was to use THz time-domain spectroscopy to non-destructively evaluate and identify corrosion and defects in the coatings of metal armor. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is a spectroscopic technique in which a sample's properties and shape are examined using short pulses of terahertz radiation. Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) using Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) has the potential to be used for a variety of applications including medical imaging, security screening, and in manufacturing.  We used the asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) technique to obtain THz images of known metal and silicon calibration samples to determine and improve imaging resolution. We used time-of-flight measurements of both the samples and the substrate to form images of high contrast. Signal processing techniques like waveform smoothing and signal averaging as well as optimizing stage position helped create images with resolution as small as 1 mm. Further improvements in imaging techniques will help determine the remaining lifespan of coatings on an armor, providing a fast and reliable way of determining if the coating needs to be replaced and thus saving time and money.</em></span></div>
    <div><span><em><br></em></span></div>
    <p>Chartered in 2010, Chapter 22BC invites the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors for membership in Phi Kappa Phi. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.</p>
    <p><strong>More About Phi Kappa Phi</strong><br>Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. The Society's mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others." Since its founding, more than 1.5 million members have been initiated. Some of the organization's more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, novelist John Grisham and YouTube cofounder Chad Hurley. Each year, Phi Kappa Phi awards nearly $1 million to qualifying students and members through graduate fellowships, undergraduate study abroad grants, member and chapter awards, and grants for local and national literacy initiatives.

<Title>SGA Election Rule Violation Complaint</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>The Election Board recently received an election complaint against the Ramesh/Hegbe campaign which alleged violations of the following rules:<br><br>"If a candidate or supporter is aware that a student is waiting to or in the act of voting, the candidate or supporter may not approach within 10 feet of the voter to provide information, solicit votes, or attempt to view the voter’s selections."<br><br></span><span>After careful review of the complaint, and reviewing the election board rules as well as the information provided regarding the alleged incident, we did not find any evidence of rule-breaking.</span><span> </span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>The Election Board would like to clarify that active campaigning is allowed during the voting period. The complaint and video that were submitted did not demonstrate that the candidate was within 10 feet of the polling station, as the candidate was outside of the building that the polling station was located in and well over 10 feet from the polling location.</span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>The Election Board voted to dismiss this complaint.</span><br><br><span>Thank you.</span>
