<Title>New Semester, New Space</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><em>A Post from Women’s Center staff member, Dan. </em></p>
    <p>It’s a new semester and I gotta say– I’m torn. Sure, it’s nice to be forced to exit my cave, shower, and see everyone again, but that requires pants. And if you know me, you know exactly how I feel about pants. I spent the entire winter break being the absolute laziest person ever. I dropped my class and NBC’s <em>Friends</em> came on Netflix. It was great.</p>
    <p>But now it’s Monday and I’m on my third cup of coffee and, regrettably, wearing those dreaded pants so I guess it’s time to start being a productive student again. Wah.<img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/7d632-sad-kid.jpg?w=421&amp;h=246" alt="" width="421" height="246" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>Now, we all know how fun it is to hang out in the Women’s Center between class, see friends, eat lunch…and get absolutely no work done. I’m certainly guilty of sitting with my laptop and completely ignoring the six tabs of readings I have open for the entire duration of my stay in the center so I’m pretty excited about our new set-up. I’m the kind of person who needs to be around people but not distracted by them when I work and our new quiet study space is perfect for me. I can see what’s happening in the lounge with the added bonus that (hopefully) nobody will talk to me. It’s a win-win.</p>
    <p>I’m also super stoked for our new <a href="https://umbc.box.com/bravespaces" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Brave Space Guidelines</a>. I find myself applying the guidelines to my life outside the center, especially in my personal relationships. Learning to be vulnerable and speak thoughtfully is a difficult but worthwhile endeavor no matter what you’re doing with your life. My conversations are richer and I learn more from everyone I meet because I seek to understand as many perspectives as I can. I’m not perfect at it and my new skills still need some practice, but I think I’m on my way. Now, if only there was a way to discretely send the guidelines to some of my Facebook friends…</p>

<Title>UMBC Hackers to Go to Seoul</Title>

    <p>UMBC hackers have been participating in hackathons for a year. Their latest victory was in Michigan. Michael Bishoff and Sekar Kulandaivel won third place at MHacks, a competitive 1000 student hackathon at the University of Michigan.</p>
    <p><img width="300" height="200" alt="10405357_391227567704346_4588016945018397492_n" src="https://umbcinsights.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/10405357_391227567704346_4588016945018397492_n.jpg?w=300&amp;h=200" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">Bishoff says, “We are proud to be representing UMBC at all of the hackathons that we attend and we are definitely giving our school a good reputation in the tech community.”</p>
    <p>Kulandaivel and Bishoff created a<a href="http://challengepost.com/software/haptic-feedback-suit" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><u> haptic feedback suit </u></a>that makes virtual reality more immersive. To do this, they created 12 vibrating modules that are placed on the user’s arms, legs, chest, and head. When various events occur in the virtual environment, the user will feel a vibration in the appropriate location on their body. For example, when a user falls in a virtual environment, they can feel a vibration in their legs, or when a user gets hit in their arm, they can feel a vibration on their appropriate arm.</p>
    <p>Kulandaivel and Bishoff won a summer trip to Seoul, South Korea to represent UMBC at the <a href="http://seoul.globalhackathon.i/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><u>Global Hackathon</u></a>. The Global Hackathon is a 2000 person hackathon that is backed by the mayor of Seoul. The hackathon’s goal is to increase innovation and produce projects that make a global impact. Attendees of the event will include students from around the world.</p>
