<Title>Student-athlete tests positive for COVID-19</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Dear UMBC Community,</span></p>
    <br><p><span>This morning (November 1) we were notified that a student-athlete currently practicing on campus has tested positive for COVID-19. The student-athlete is receiving medical care and is doing well. Prior to receiving the test result, the team, coaching staff, and support staff voluntarily quarantined out of an abundance of caution. There are no additional individuals with symptoms, but all are receiving medical attention, regular updates, and other assistance. We appreciate the care and concern that the students involved have shown for their teammate and for the safety of all in our community.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>The COVID-19 Contact Response Team is following its standard procedure for positive cases, which includes identifying, contacting, and advising those who have had close contact with individuals who test positive. We will also facilitate a 14-day quarantine period. We continue to notify and work in partnership with our local health department. </span></p>
    <br><p><span>We will not share additional details or updates on this case in order to protect the privacy of the individuals involved. We wish to assure the community that we remain committed to ensuring the health of our campus community and are taking every measure recommended by our team of experts and those providing medical care. We know all of the UMBC community shares our wishes for the speedy recovery of this student-athlete and the health and well-being of the entire team.</span></p>

<Title>Motivational Monday TEDx of the Week</Title>
<Tagline>How to turn off work thoughts during your free time</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.<div>
    <br><p>Today's talk is <strong><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/guy_winch_how_to_turn_off_work_thoughts_during_your_free_time" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">How to turn off work thoughts during your free time </a></strong>by Guy Winch.<span> </span><span>Feeling burned out? You may be spending too much time ruminating about your job, says psychologist Guy Winch. Learn how to stop worrying about tomorrow's tasks or stewing over office tensions with three simple techniques aimed at helping you truly relax and recharge after work.</span></p>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:</span></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li><span>What resonated for you in the video?</span></li>
    <li>What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?</li>
    <li><span> As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?</span></li>
    <li><span>What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.</span></li>
    <li>How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?</li>
    </ul>If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.</div>

<Title>Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai</Title>
<Tagline>Summary of October 28th's Meeting</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">During October 28th's GBM a representative of Mount Sinai attended the meeting to give a brief presentation. <div><br></div>
    <div>Medical schools are looking for applicants who posses the traits of a physician: a team player, a lifelong learner, a leader for change, an advocate, and so forth. Mt. Sinai is specifically looking for students with a<span>cademic excellence, research experience, service activities, and commitment to clinical medicine. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>During the application process, students should make sure to stress the highlights of their experiences. Explain and describe these experiences in detail, and avoid making them just one or two sentences. Applicants should also only c<span>onsider applying to schools with have culture and mission statements that correspond with their personal values.</span><span> This makes the application process far more meaningful.</span>
    </div>
    <div>
    <br><span>It is important to focus on the social determinants of health and their impact. While the MCAT and GPA are important, they are not the only things that matter--extracurriculars and community service go a long way to describe an applicant and their personality.</span><br><br><span>For letters of recommendation, students should make sure to ask people that know more about them and who they are as a person rather than those who can talk about testing and grades.</span><br><br><span>Mt. Sinai has early assurance programs and connections with a few universities. Their flex MD program allows sophomores to apply and get into medical school after their undergrad career. So basically students can know what medical school they’re going to by the time they are a junior. Cool!</span><br>
