<Title>New Bb Upgrade Planned for WT2016</Title>
<Tagline>Benefits include improved Java-free Collaborate</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p>To continue our <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/news/?id=46984" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">managed hosting</a> from Blackboard and access new functionality, <strong>UMBC’s Blackboard server will need to be upgraded in late December</strong> after the fall semester ends. Apart from ensuring UMBC is using the most recent and supported version of Blackboard, the upgrade will allow us to implement the new Collaborate.</p>
    <p>The new version of Collaborate uses the Chrome web browser rather than Java to deliver a superior audio and video experience. Faculty can <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/52797" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">test drive the new Collaborate</a> now by opening an RT ticket. </p>

    <div class="html-content">Danielle L. Beatty Moody, an assistant professor of psychology, has received a Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The five-year, $600,000 project will investigate the ways in which racial disparities in exposure to early life social disadvantage promote accelerated diseases and disorders related to the brain including stroke, dementia, and cognitive decline in African Americans across the span of the lifetime. “Pronounced racial disparities are observed across multiple clinical and subclinical brain health endpoints in African Americans compared to Whites and may be attributable, in part, to accelerated age-related disease processes,” NIH stated in a public health …</div>

<Title>Impeachment Process Update</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">UMBC Students,<div><br></div>
    <div>I have officially emailed SGA President Anthony Jankoski as well as SGA Executive Vice President Daniel Amsini your signatures in favor of impeaching them. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For those who don't know, during last year's SGA Elections, the SGA Election Board recommended that there be further investigation into an incident which involved candidate Jankoski in which he was accused of breaking the rules. Read here <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/electionboard/posts/51982">http://my.umbc.edu/groups/electionboard/posts/51982</a> and here <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/archive/discussions/15917">http://my.umbc.edu/groups/archive/discussions/15917</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>According to the SGA Bylaws and Constitution, after I have delivered the petition to the President, he must deliver it to the SGA Senate within 5 business days. Because I have emailed it as of 15 minutes ago, he should be delivering it next Monday, September 1st. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As students, it is our responsibility to make sure that the President hands in this email. Because he is the highest elected official in the SGA, there is no other action but impeachment to keep him accountable. We must see this through in order to learn the truth of the matter. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thank you,</div>
