<Title>Tips and Best Practices for Managing your Cloud Storage</Title>
<Tagline>Learn ways to better manage space on your cloud!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Want to learn how to manage your Google Drive storage better? We have 5 steps for you! These tips can generally be applied to other cloud services such as Box and OneDrive.<div><br></div>
    <h3>What are the benefits of managing your storage?</h3>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Better security by reducing data breaches and minimizing the number of files that contain sensitive information</li>
    <li>Freeing up your storage so that you don't have a bunch of old, unnecessary files taking up space</li>
    <li>Decluttering your storage so it's easier to find files</li>
    <li>Makes transitions easier if you leave the university (graduate, new job, etc.)</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <h3>5 Steps for Cloud Storage Management</h3>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Below are some steps you can implement to help manage your cloud storage usage over time.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4>1. Yearly or monthly clean-ups </h4>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Look through your files on your UMBC Drive and look at the last time that file was accessed. If the file was last accessed over a year ago, consider deleting it. If you believe that you may need the file at some point down the line, consider transferring it to a flash drive or somewhere not on UMBC cloud services while considering the sensitivity of the data and protecting it appropriately.</li>
    <li>If you want to hold onto work from previous semesters, consider consolidating them into a compressed folder and downloading them to your hard drive or an external drive.</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <h4>2. What should be prioritized on your UMBC Google Drive</h4>
    <div><ul><li>Your UMBC Google Drive and other cloud storage options provided by the university should be prioritized for storing UMBC files.</li></ul></div>
    <blockquote>
    <div><div><strong>UMBC Cloud Storage</strong></div></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations for classes, UMBC work</li>
    <li>UMBC-related documents</li>
    <li>UMBC Research documents</li>
    <li>Collaborative Files</li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <strong>Personal Cloud Storage, Hard Drive, </strong><strong>External Drive</strong>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Personal documents</li>
    <li>Personal photos and videos</li>
    <li>Personal Computer Backups</li>
    <li>Personal projects</li>
    <li>Long-term files not used regularly</li>
    </ul></div>
    </blockquote>
    <h4><span>3. Remember to empty the Trash bin!</span></h4>
    <div>
    <ul><li>After deleting any files, clear out your trash bin so that storage space is freed up on your drive</li></ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <div><h4>4. Create a folder structure or naming convention for files</h4></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Having your files organized in a consistent system of folders and names that you understand can make your life easier in the long run. When it comes to finding files and when you may need to delete those files later</li>
    <li>Consider asking Google Gemini for help creating a folder structure</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    <h4>5. File as you go</h4>
    <div>
    <ul><li>Organize your files once you create or download them. Making this a habit will make it so you don't have to worry about a backlog of unsorted files later</li></ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>

<Title>Maryland Institute for Innovative Computing: U.S. Cyber Range</Title>
<Tagline>Explore our First Newsletter - September 2025 Edition</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong>Welcome </strong>to the Maryland Institute for Innovative Computing (MIIC) newsletter.</p>
    <p>MIIC's purpose is to bring together researchers, educators, industry, and government to address challenges in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. Our goal is to keep Maryland at the forefront of discovery while providing opportunities for students, educators, and professionals to develop the skills needed in today's technology-driven world.</p>
    <p><em>"The Range is a perfect fit for student-driven projects—whether they're preparing for competitions or building their own capture-the-flag challenges." </em></p>
    <div>- Paul Thompson</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <p>In this first issue, we highlight one of our flagship initiatives: Maryland's access to the U.S. Cyber Range. This cloud-based training environment provides hands-on cybersecurity learning without the need for local infrastructure.</p>
    <p>Thanks to state support, K–12 school systems and public higher education institutions can use the platform at no cost.</p>
    <p>This newsletter will feature updates, events, and opportunities to engage with MIIC. We look forward to building this community together! </p>
    <p><em><strong>For the complete newsletter, please check out the flyer attached!</strong></em></p>

<Title>Healing from Family Challenges Group</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>Healing from Family Challenges </span><span>is a
    six-week group that provides psychoeducation and skills that help address the effects
    of adverse childhood experiences. It helps the members to recognize how these
    past challenging experiences might be impacting their current functioning and
    helps individuals identify healthy ways of coping with their experiences.
    Students transition from surviving past experiences to thriving in the present.
    The group creates a safe and supportive environment to develop an alternate way
    of looking at the past and develop a sense of meaning and purpose that help
    them thrive today. </span></p>
    <p><span>Wednesdays, 3:00 PM-4:30 PM beginning October 15.</span></p>
    <p><span>The first step to joining any group is to complete an Initial Consultation appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 or visit the RetrieverCare portal to schedule.</span></p>
    <p><span>For general group questions, or if you need accommodations for a disability, please send a secure message to CC Front Desk via the <a href="https://myretrievercare.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">patient portal</a> at least one week prior to the start of group and RIH will arrange for services.</span></p>

    <div>Hello!</div>

    <div>"The Meyerhoff Scholarship Program is hosting the first <strong>Campus Connection</strong> on <strong>Wednesday, September 24, 2025</strong>! Use the listing below to help you identify which <strong>schools a</strong><strong>pply</strong><strong> to your major, rese</strong><strong>ar</strong><strong>ch interests, or degree goals, </strong>and <strong>work to engage them all</strong>. <strong>This event is open to all STEM students at UMBC</strong>,<strong> so please invite and encourage folks to attend.</strong><strong> </strong>

    <div><strong>[...]</strong></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li><strong>No need to dress up - nice everyday school clothes are fine.</strong></li>
    <li>Whether you attend during the 11 am or 12 noon hour, engage<em> ALL exhibitors that are relevant to your major/goals </em>(staff
     will be on hand to assist with this).  Your obligation is complete, and
     you're free to leave the event once you've engaged <em>all relevant exhibitors</em>. </li>
    <li><strong>Students
     who don't have class at 11 am are encouraged to attend at that time, as
     it's generally fewer students present and you'll have an 
    opportunity for deeper engagement and conversation. </strong></li>
    <li>
    <strong>Don't be nervous to engage exhibitors!</strong> They
     are here to meet you and share information and resources. Take the 
    initiative to introduce yourselves to them to facilitate communication (name, major, first/second/third/fourth/fifth year, degree goals(s), STEM interests, etc.) as it will help them determine what info to share with you. </li>
    <li><strong>Again,
     you are expected to personally engage (not simply pick up materials 
    from a table) all exhibitors relevant to your majors and/or degree goals</strong></li>
    <li><strong>Finally, enjoy the opportunity to share information with others who weren't able to attend. </strong></li>
