    <div>
    <strong>What are <span>FLCs</span>? </strong>Faculty
     Learning Communities are groups of 6-12 self-selected faculty who are 
    co-learners, joining together across disciplines for a year-long exploration of specific evidence-based teaching practices. <span>FLCs</span> support
     faculty in developing a new pedagogical approach, new kinds of 
    assignments, and/or new ways to assess student learning. Participants 
    who meet the attendance requirements (missing no more than 3 meetings 
    over the academic year) receive a stipend to be used for professional 
    development. <br>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Who is eligible?</strong> All current faculty, as well as staff who teach, are encouraged to participate. </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>

<Title>Ellen's McLaughlin's Oresteia, Shakespeare Theatre Company</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The department of Ancient Studies is pleased to announce that it has bought 15 tickets to the performance of Ellen's McLaughlin's adaptation of Aeschylus' <em>Oresteia</em> on Saturday, May 25, 2019 at 8:00 pm at the Harman Center for the Arts, located at 610 F St. NW, Washington D.C., 20004.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The performance lasts 2:20. In addition, there will be a 15-minute intermission. If the production keeps to its schedule, it will end at 10:35 pm. This limits our options for public transportation. However, it will be possible to take the Metro from the Greenbelt station to the Gallery Place-Chinatown station, which is a 5-minute walk from the theater. The department is also exploring possibilities for round-trip transportation from the campus to the theater.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Tickets will be distributed to majors, faculty, and minors (in that 
    order of preference). If tickets remain, they will be offered to the 
    University community. The cost of a ticket is $10.00. If you are interested in going, please register 
    your commitment to attend the performance with Prof. Rosenbloom 
    (<a href="mailto:dsrose@umbc.edu">dsrose@umbc.edu</a>).</div>

<Title>Call for Faculty Working Groups</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The Center for Social Science Scholarship invites applications for Faculty Working Groups to promote intellectual exchange in the social sciences and across campus. These collaborative scholarly learning communities will meet regularly to engage in such activities as: working on research projects, reading key literature, exploring new methodological approaches, and/or engaging in matters of public interest related to the social sciences.</p>
    <p>Up to four Faculty Working Groups will be selected by the center director and advisory board members. Groups should be faculty-led and must include at least one faculty member from a social science department at UMBC. Additional priority will be given to groups whose members and/or areas of interest are multi- or interdisciplinary. Advanced graduate students may participate as Faculty Working Group members but may not serve as leaders.</p>
    <p>Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester); groups will also be able to apply for continuation funding. Groups may use funds for such items as: supporting regular group meetings; purchasing software, books, or other materials; hosting external speakers; creating scholarly resources; traveling to external sites for research or public engagement purposes; and other similar activities. A brief report of the group’s activities will be due at the end of the funding period.</p>
    <p><strong>Apply by May 30, 2019,</strong> for groups to begin in Fall 2019.</p>
    <p>Click on the attached file to download the application form. </p>
    <p>Applications should be submitted via email to <a href="mailto:socialscience@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">socialscience@umbc.edu</a>. Questions may be directed to <a href="mailto:mallinson@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Christine Mallinson</a>, Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship.</p>
