    <p><span><a href="https://give.umbc.edu/black-gold-rush" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Black &amp; Gold Rush</strong></a></span><span> is a 36-hour giving challenge designed to bring Retrievers together to support the UMBC community and its students, faculty, and staff. Philanthropy plays such an important role in everything we do, from providing student scholarships and fueling faculty research, to resourcing programs like Retriever Essentials and the Career Center, and supporting our numerous athletics teams. It is because of the generosity of our donors that we have been able to achieve so much in just 58 short years.</span></p>
    <p><span>Black &amp; Gold Rush 2025</span><span> is one month away, <strong>March 5 – 6</strong>. </span><span>Our goal this year is 1,966 donors in 36 hours</span><span>, but we can’t reach this milestone without your help. Join the</span><span><strong>You+ Challenge</strong></span><span>, become a Black &amp; Gold Advocate, spread the word, and earn cool prizes. Together, we can make this the best <strong>#BlackAndGoldRush</strong> yet!</span></p>

    <p><span>When you <a href="https://give.umbc.edu/black-gold-rush" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sign up to be an advocate</a>, you will receive a unique giving link. After you make your gift, share your link with friends and family and encourage them to give. As more and more donors use your unique link, you earn prizes.

<Title>UMBC adds New AI-Powered Search Bar to myUMBC</Title>
<Tagline>Students can get personalized answers to searches</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>UMBC's <a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Department of Information Technology</a> (DoIT) has been exploring how new generative artificial intelligence systems can make the <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>myUMBC</strong></a>  platform better for students, faculty, and staff, all while ensuring security and privacy. MyUMBC is a web portal that provides access to services and resources for the UMBC community of faculty, staff and students.</span></p>
    <p><span>The search system on MyUMBC now uses an AI model to  make it easier and quicker for students to find what they need with AI. This helps provide fast, accurate answers to common student questions.</span></p>
    <p><span>A key focus is helping students access important personal information—like grades, billing statements, and Retriever Card balances—right from the search bar. This means students can find what they need quickly, without having to dig through the system, while knowing their data is protected.</span></p>
    <p><span><img src="https://ai.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/734/2025/02/myumbc.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></span></p>
    <p><span>DoIT is looking at how AI can further improve the myUMBC experience, from academic support to campus life to create a more efficient and personalized platform. </span></p>
    <p>Currently answers are focused on student-related questions and scenarios with supporting questions from faculty and staff still in development. Students are advised to verify any information before they take action. If you identify any mistakes, please let the developers know using the “Was this useful” feature at the bottom of each answer.</p>

<Title>Welcome to Week 1 of Cl- Oh wait, it's snowing...</Title>
<Tagline>No General Body Meeting on Tuesday this week</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>Welcome to Week 1 of Tabletop Gaming Club for the Spring 2025 Semester!</span></p>
    <p><span>First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you for electing me to the role of interim Vice President, it is an honor to have the privilege of serving the club in Matt's stead, and I promise I will do my absolute best to fulfill this role. </span></p>
    <p><span>Unfortunately, our first official meeting must be postponed due to inclement weather. We really do not want any UMBC students, let alone our own club members, getting hurt or otherwise out in the ice and snow. Please do not try to come to the club room today, it will not be open, and no officers will be present. </span></p>
    <p><span>However, because we do not want to completely lose out on a day of club, I will be hosting a virtual game night through the club discord server. Starting around 7:00 pm, I will open a few new Voice Channels and Text Channels temporarily for a virtual club meeting. You can feel free to join various  VCs to play games supported by discord or join in on Jackbox games hosted by yours truly. </span></p>
    <p><span>Please stay warm and stay safe! Have a great week, and game on!</span></p>
