<Title>REPOST - NEXT Thursday, 11/20 - Integrating Community-Engaged and Experiential Learning into Your Course:  Fostering Meaningful Learning and Student Success &#8730; &#167;</Title>
<Tagline>Show your students the relevance of your course content</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><div>Do your students perceive the relevance of your course content to their lives and to the world outside your classroom? If you aren't sure how to make the connection, this session is for you. Staff from the Shriver Center and faculty partners will highlight strategies for integrating community-engaged and experiential learning into the curriculum. Faculty currently using these approaches will share their experiences and outcomes, illustrating how such practices deepen students' understanding of course content. The session will explore the documented benefits for students—including enhanced communication and leadership skills, stronger connections to career goals, and compelling material for personal statements and resumes. Participants will also review research demonstrating that these experiences are high-impact practices that foster meaningful learning and student success. By the end of the session, faculty will gain practical ideas for incorporating these opportunities into their own courses and programs.<br><div>This session is co-sponsored by the <strong>Faculty Development Center </strong>and the <strong>Shriver Center. </strong>

    <div><strong>Abstract</strong></div>
    <div>
    <p>The Antarctic region holds 90% of the Earth's freshwater. Antarctica's ice mass has been diminishing rapidly, with an estimated average loss of approximately ∼ 146 billion tons annually since 2002, according to the satellite measurements. The reduction in sea ice extent raises critical questions about its repercussions on ice sheet melting, as sea ice provides a protective barrier separating ice sheets from warm ocean currents and wave action. While Antarctic sea ice has been expanding until 2015, recent trends show a dramatic reversal with record low extents in February 2023. Understanding the relationship between sea ice changes and ice sheet melting is essential for deciphering the broader implications of global sea-level rise, a pressing concern for coastal communities, ecosystems, and policymakers. Furthermore, the nature of the sea ice retreat, especially after 2015, has not been well studied. This is important because anomalous events can retreat sea ice extent at a very high rate within a short period of time and can cause rapid losses by changing in the retreat onset timing, duration, and intensity. To address this, this research develops parameter free machine learning algorithms to detect anomalous melt events, variations in melt onset and duration, and to quantify the linkages or interactions between sea ice retreat and land ice or ice sheet melting. This thesis specifically aims to:</p>
    <p>1. Design an effective parameter free machine learning algorithm to detect anomalous sea ice retreat events, which are characterized by negative changes.</p>
    <p>2. Study the onset, duration, and intensity of the anomalous and steady state retreat events and how they evolve with time, affecting the sea ice area coverage(or loss in km2).</p>
    <p>3. Quantify the linkages between sea ice retreat and ice sheet melting in regions experiencing anomalous melts.</p>
    <p>By addressing these questions, this thesis contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interactions between sea ice retreat and ice sheet melting in the Antarctic region and their broader implications for global sea-level rise. Our study has found that anomalous retreat events, identified through the analysis of satellite images of sea ice extent, have prevailed since 2015 and have contributed significantly to total sea ice retreat. Furthermore, we have detected significant linkages between sea ice retreat and ice sheet melting.</p>

<Title>Know Your Worth: Researching Salaries</Title>
<Tagline>Learn how to navigate offers and negotiate with confidence.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Landing a job offer is exciting — but before you accept,
    it's essential to understand what that offer really means. Salary negotiation
    isn't just about the number on your paycheck; it's about knowing your value,
    understanding industry standards, and ensuring you're being compensated fairly
    for your skills and experience.</p>
    
    <p><strong>1. Do Your Homework Before You Negotiate</strong></p>
    
    <p>Before discussing salary, research what professionals in
    your field typically earn. Use reliable sites like <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Glassdoor</a>, <a href="https://www.salary.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Salary.com</a>, <a href="https://www.payscale.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">PayScale</a>, <a href="https://umbc.firsthand.co/welcome" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Vault</a>, and the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational
    Outlook Handbook</a> to find salary ranges based on job title, location, and
    experience level. Knowing these figures helps you confidently advocate for
    yourself during negotiations.</p>
    
    <p><strong>2. Consider the Whole Offer</strong></p>
    
    <p>While salary is important, it's only one part of your total
    compensation package. Benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions,
    paid time off, and flexible work options can significantly impact your overall
    satisfaction and financial well-being. If you're interested in an advanced
    degree, tuition benefits are an option as well. Don't overlook these when
    comparing offers.</p>
    
    <p><strong>3. Be Strategic About Timing</strong></p>
    
    <p>The best time to discuss salary is <em>after</em> you've
    received an offer but <em>before</em> you've accepted it. Once an employer has
    decided you're their top choice, you're in the strongest position to negotiate.
    Approach the conversation with gratitude and professionalism, emphasizing your
    enthusiasm for the role while making your case for fair compensation.</p>
    
    <p><strong>4. Practice Makes Professional</strong></p>
    
    <p>Negotiating can feel intimidating, especially if it's your
    first job offer. Practice your talking points with a friend, mentor, or practice
    with the <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/tools/big-interview/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Big Interview</a>
    training platform or through a <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/aboutus/appointments/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Salary Negotiation
    appointment with a career advisor</a> to build confidence. The goal is to sound
    informed, not demanding.</p>
    
    <p>For example: "Based on my research and the market value for
    this position, I was expecting a salary closer to [X range]. Is there
    flexibility to adjust the offer?"</p>
    
    <p><strong>5. Get Support and Keep Learning</strong></p>
    
    <p>The more informed you are, the more confident you'll feel
    navigating offers and negotiations. The UMBC Career Center provides tools,
    resources, and one-on-one advising to help you make smart decisions about your
    future. In the meantime, check out our newest <strong><a href="https://careers2.umbc.edu/tools/guide.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Career Guide</a></strong> for
    detailed tips on evaluating offers, researching salaries, and mastering the art
    of negotiation. You got this!</p>
