    <p>The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and <a href="https://www.mxdusa.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MxD</a> Learn, the workforce arm of MxD, seeks to collaboratively build Phase I of <a href="https://cymot.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CyMOT</a> to address the need for cybersecurity for operational manufacturing technology (OT). Leveraging MxD Learn’s previous work identifying the skills and abilities needed in future manufacturing positions and the development and dissemination of training opportunities and career pathways, MxD Learn has partnered with UMBC, a leader in cybersecurity education, to create a curriculum that targets adult learners who are looking to increase their skills at the intersection of cybersecurity and manufacturing. The objective of the curriculum program is to provide current workers with learning opportunities that result in certification(s), giving them the tools necessary to execute careers in cybersecurity in manufacturing, and increasing the security of U.S. manufacturers from cyber attacks. This talk will describe the CyMOT Phase I pilot.</p>
    <p>Dr. <a href="https://www.csee.umbc.edu/~nilanb/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Nilanjan Banerjee</a> is a professor of CSEE at UMBC. His area of expertise is in cybersecurity in manufacturing and physiological sensing.</p>

    <div><br></div>The semester is flying by, Spring Break is almost upon us! We at PROMISE realize that we haven't had an opportunity this semester to gather around, drink coffee, and eat donuts with you all! As such, we've decided to host an informal gathering at Commons 329 and hope you will join us. We will provide the coffee and donuts to share and invite you to stop to say hi and catch up with us and other graduate students.<div><br></div>
    <div>We (Dr. Robin Cresiski and Yarazeth Medina) will be available to talk about the Grad Student and Postdoc Development Office (GSPD), PROMISE, the calendar of professional development events, our latest Netflix Binges, and hopefully, create even more of an opportunity for you to meet fellow grad students in other departments. We would love to help you develop a deeper sense of community here on campus. If you just feel like stopping for free coffee and a donut, you are more than welcome to do so as well! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please click on "Going" below so we can be sure to have enough coffee and donuts for all who plan to attend. </div>

    <h5><strong>B.A. INDS: Natural Disaster Management</strong></h5>
    <div><strong>Minor: Health Administration and Public Policy</strong></div>
    <h4></h4>
    <br><strong>Degree Mentors</strong><br><ul>
    <li>Dr. Jeffrey Halverson, Geography and Environmental Sciences</li>
    <li>Dr. Sara Poggio, Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication</li>

    </ul>
    <strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS?</strong><br>I chose to major in INDS for a number of reasons. Firstly, I 
    have a passion for all things w eather relat ed, especially 
    natural disasters. The science behind natural disasters and 
    their ability to destroy cities within seconds , fascinates me. 
    Secondly, ever since I toured The R. Adams Cowley Shock 
    Trauma Cent er in the tenth gr ade, I have found a love for 
    trauma informed care and the fast pace nature of all things 
    emer gency r elated. Lastly, I have always been interested in 
    the inner workings of various social groups and how those 
    groups int eract, live, and work within society, mor e 
    specifically, low-income groups. When I came to UMBC, I 
    did not find my three passions within my first chosen 
    major and minor. However, when I t alked to Professor 
    Brown about the INDS department, I knew I could combine 
    my passions into one and bridge the gap between my 
    disciplines . Then, I became excited about pursing education 
    and w as finally able to claim my education at UMBC.  <br> <br><strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree? </strong><br><div>My ultimate goal is to become a disaster specialist for FEMA; however, that career path requires years of preliminary job experience. In the mean time, I hope to work for either a non-profit that services minority groups, low-income communities, or veterans or work for a local or state government under their emergency management department. Wherever I end up working, I hope to combine my disciplines to bring an interdisciplinary perspective to the workplace. Furthermore, I want to expand my understanding and collaborate with the perspectives of my colleagues to broaden my knowledge. Eventually, I plan to get my PhD in Emergency Management. </div>
    <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/inds/posts/100749" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><br></a><br><strong>EXTRACURRICULAR</strong><br><div>I completed an internship at the non-profit organization, The Samaritan Women where I created a comprehensive, 50+ paged crisis response plan that is currently being implemented in sex trafficking shelters across the United States. I also am in the progress of an independent study with Dr. Halverson where we are creating a timeline of hurricanes that have hit low-income areas in the United States and exploring how the negative impacts could have been avoided and/or reduced.</div>

<Title>SGA Candidate Endorsement Form Available</Title>

    <div><span><strong>Candidates may publicize endorsements after meeting BOTH of the following requirements</strong></span></div>
    <div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>submitting a statement, identifying the candidate(s) endorsed AND the method used to determine who would be endorsed<br><br><strong>AND</strong><br><br>
    </li>
    <li><span>receiving written acknowledgement from the Election Board Chair.  <br>This written acknowledgement will include a statement indicating how the organization and candidate’s campaign may permissibly characterize the endorsement without violating the rule against false statements of fact. </span></li>
    </ul>
    <span>For example, if the organization’s endorsement was determined by a vote of all members, the Election Board Chair’s statement would say “Candidate X has been endorsed by the ABC Club.” If, on the other hand, the President and Vice President of an organization decided whom to endorse without the participation of any other ABC Club members, the Election Board Chair’s statement might say “Candidate X has been endorsed by the President and Vice President of The ABC Club.”</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Both requirements must be met for a student organization or individual student to publicly endorse a student, both in-person and virtually (e.g. social media posts).</strong></div>
