<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>While many summer research programs have deadlines in January and February, there are still opportunities with deadlines in March and even into May! Some programs will even continue to accept applications until all positions are filled, so don't get distressed over a missed deadline and read the website information carefully (there may even be other opportunities available that are listed).</p>
    <h5>How to Find Summer Research</h5>
    <div>Besides asking a faculty member within your department or talking to your advisor, there are other places to find undergraduate research opportunities.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The <strong>Research Opportunities Page</strong> [<a href="https://ur.umbc.edu/summer-research/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://ur.umbc.edu/summer-research/</a>] lists a variety of searchable databases, opportunities for STEM students, those in the humanities, and even graduating seniors.</div>

    <div>The<strong> Summer Research Opportunities Spreadsheet</strong> [<a href="https://tinyurl.com/yd2o4y83" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://tinyurl.com/yd2o4y83</a>]  lists 450+ research opportunities for almost every major and provides information such as when an internship was last updated on the sheet, what majors might be suited for it, and possible important information. Some research experiences that are still accepting applications include:</div>

<Title>Figure Out Your Future</Title>
<Tagline>How to be more confident in your plans and goals!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>I’m gonna be honest: thinking of the future is terrifying. A year from now I’ll be graduating from college, and I don’t have a clear picture of what my next step is yet. But guess what? That’s totally okay! I am thinking and planning, and that is a great first step. I might go straight to graduate school and become a certified counselor; I might work for a year first, who knows! I’ve talked in my past posts about my major-deciding journey, but now I’ve moved on to the career-finding journey, which is just as hard. Whenever I tell people my major, their first question is “What do you plan to do with that?” and I just don’t have a straight answer. Some people know exactly what they are destined for, and that’s great! But there’s no shame in taking your time to figure out your purpose. I'm going to give you some tips so you don't look like this: </span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><img src="http://aspiredtherapies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Stress.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>...And you start looking like this:</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><img src="http://spencerinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Success-coaching.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>If you haven’t decided on a major yet: I totally sympathize. I was never officially undecided, but I changed my major THREE times my freshman year. And for me, that process was necessary to get me where I am now. The Career Center has a </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/discover/self/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Library of Assessments</span></a><span> you can take to get a better idea of your skills, and what kinds of careers match up. I have used all of these already, so I can give them the Seal of Approval™. Plus they’re fun! These are still great for people who have their major figured out because you can also look at popular careers for people in your major. Also, the </span><a href="https://advising.umbc.edu/students/exploratoryundecided/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Office of Academic Advising</span></a><span> has a bunch of tools to help out! Using these resources can really help ease the anxiety of the major-selection process.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>If you have a major but aren’t sure what to do after graduation: I also deeply sympathize. I’m a psychology major, which a) can translate to an infinite number of fields, and b) almost always requires some kind of graduate degree to get a decent career. I’m still honing in on what my ideal job would be, but guess what: some people don’t have one ideal job! Just like some people don’t believe in “the one” in terms of romantic partners, some people are totally happy career-hopping their whole lives! Since kindergarten we’re fed the idea that we’re supposed to go to college, we find one job, and we do that job until we die. But that’s not the only option, and it’s freeing to realize that we can pick a job and later on change our minds, and it’s not the end of the world! Check out this video on </span><a href="https://www.themuse.com/advice/what-soontobe-college-grads-need-to-know-about-the-job-hunt" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>how to land your first job after graduation</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>The Career Center has a whole page about </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/how-to-move-from-college-to-the-workforce/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>How to Move from College to the Workforce</span></a><span>, which gives you a checklist for getting ready to be an Adult™ in the Real World</span><span>™. Another great resource is the </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/informational-interviews/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>informational interview</span></a><span>, which is simply talking to someone in your desired field about how they got there and what their job is like. Good mentorship goes a long way, and can also be a good networking tool! And as always, you can make an appointment to meet with a career specialist about anything from deciding on a major to exploring graduate programs. The future is scary, but we’re in this together! Please give this a paw and comment on how you chose your major, or how you’re preparing to enter the workforce!</span></p>

<Title>Make your voice heard! Take the 2018 Student Fee Survey!</Title>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The Student Fee Advisory Board (SFAB) is the primary way by
    which students can get their thoughts and concerns about fees heard.</p>
    
    <p>The Student Fee Advisory Board makes a formal
    recommendation to approve or amend each mandatory fee, and will base
    this recommendation in part on your responses to the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhoxBh_Wy4TsqQgQ9jLTwv6L6rUVbbssOy5ekPXy6SXm7MMQ/viewform" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">survey</a>. Please follow the links on <a href="https://fees.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this</a> page under the heading ‘Mandatory Fee
    Changes’ to review proposed fee increases for Academic Year 2017-2018 and
    provide your feedback about the fees and the activities they support.</p>
    
    <p>It is the policy of the <a href="http://www.usmd.edu/regents/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">USM Board of Regents</a> that each USM
    campus forms its own advisory committee involved in the processes of
    setting student fees and is comprised of appropriate numbers of students and
    stakeholders (Section VII; 2.50: 5 of BoR Bylaws).</p>
    
    <p>The Student Fee Advisory Board (SFAB) at UMBC is a team of
    students (undergraduate and graduate) who represent student interests in the
    annual mandatory fee review process. After hearing presentations from
    administrators representing the departments who own the six mandatory student
    fees, SFAB conducts outreach to determine what recommendations students have
    with respect to the size and specifics of those planned expenditures. SFAB is
    comprised of seven members, each member serves as a liaison to a different
    demographic of students.</p>

Kuhn : Library Gallery<br><br><strong>Jennifer Lynn Stoever</strong>, Associate Professor of English, Binghamton University - State University of New York<br><br>We talk too often about race and racism as if they are solely visual concepts. Jennifer Stoever’s lecture will unsettle the assumed relationship between race and looking by introducing the concept of the sonic color line and exploring the often undetected ways in which sound and listening have also functioned to produce and enforce racial hierarchies throughout U.S. history and in our present moment. Stoever argues that sound matters in our everyday lives and that we can work to shift our historically and culturally conditioned listening practices toward a more equitable world.<br><br>A book signing will follow the program.<br><br><br>Speaker bio: Jennifer Lynn Stoever received her PhD in American Studies and Ethnicity from USC and is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY Binghamton where she teaches courses on African American literature and race and gender representation in popular music.  She is Co-Founder and Editor in Chief of the influential Sounding Out! The Sound Studies Blog and she has published in Social Text, Social Identities, Sound Effects, American Quarterly, Radical History Review, and Modernist Cultures among others. During 2011-2012, she was a fellow at The Society for the Humanities at Cornell University, participating in the research group on Sound: Culture, Theory, Politics. She recently published her first book, The Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening with NYU Press and is currently working on a large-scale community sound art project in Binghamton, New York.<br><br><strong>Sponsored by the Media and Communication Studies Department; the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; the Dresher Center for the Humanities; the Africana Studies Department; and the English Department. </strong><br>
