<Title>Congratulations to Heather Mortimer!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Congratulations to Heather for receiving a URA grant! With this grant, Heather will be installing two exhibits in the library rotunda with the guidance of her mentor, Sandra Abbott. According to Heather, "Both exhibits will be on the same topic, and use the same artifacts; however, they will be designed using different approaches, I will then collect data on visitor behavior to see if the design of the exhibit affects visitor engagement. Because museums are sites of free-choice learning, the exhibits themselves must motivate people to stop and engage with them. I would like to see if design can create that motivation. More broadly, I am interested in exploring how spaces that are not usually used for learning can be transformed into spaces that <em>are</em> used for learning. <div><br></div>
    <div>Heather has also received a Hollings Scholarship through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Through this program, rising juniors are awarded a two year academic scholarship and paid summer internship at a NOAA facility. Heather was one of 127 recipients from a total of 500 applicants. This summer, Heather will be moving to Santa Cruz, CA to "help with an exhibit at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center. The exhibit will allow visitors to hear, see, and feel sounds that are being collected by a hydrophone that is deployed at the sanctuary, including marine mammal vocalizations, passing ships, and even rain hitting the surface of the water." </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Once again, congratulations Heather, and good luck! </div>

    <p><strong><span>Room:  </span></strong><strong><span>Public Policy 204</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span><br>
    </span><span>The class will meet in-person on Mondays from 6
    pm -9:10 pm in PUP 204. In the last couple decades health professionals around
    the world have promoted human rights-based approaches to guide health system
    analysis and health policy. In this course students will learn components of
    health and human rights programs and understand principles of and links between
    health and human rights. Students will evaluate health policies and programs
    from a human rights perspective. Examples of human rights approaches to health
    will be given in both developed and developing countries. In addition, students
    will examine the benefits of health and human rights programs as well as the
    problems and conflicts associated with such programs. This hybrid course
    requires both classroom and online time; reliable internet access and computer
    literacy; and the ability to self-manage independent learning assignments
    according to deadlines. In place of reduced classroom hours, required online
    work is connected to classroom learning and may include independent mastery
    assignments, discussion boards, videos with quizzes, writing assignments, and
    other active learning experiences. Students are responsible for both classroom
    attendance and completing these out-of-classroom learning experiences by the
    specified deadlines and in accordance with instructor requirements.</span></p>

    <div>May 1st has been historically linked to international workers’ rights. More recently, May Day has served as a national day of action to raise awareness about immigration rights and the need to keep families together as they fight for a better life.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>On this May Day, let’s come together as a community to recognize the contributions immigrants make every day to UMBC and our nation.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Students, Staff, Faculty, Service Workers, Administrators:</strong><span> </span>Join us on May 1st, 2017 for a day-long celebration in the plaza in front of the UC.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Come when you can!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Regardless of where we were born, how we look or the language we speak, let’s pledge support to a strong, inclusive, safe UMBC for all.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We will create and share the many ways immigrants contribute to UMBC (and the U.S.).</div>
    <div>Action Items:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Wear red to identify as part of (or in solidarity with) our community of immigrants.</li>
    <li>Bring quotes, art, texts - by immigrants or celebrating immigration - to display on our celebration wall.</li>
    <li>Sign up to share readings, spoken word, music, performance, or your own immigrant stories:<span> </span><a href="http://doodle.com/poll/6ubf9qfvc2xvcgd8" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://doodle.com/poll/6ubf9qfvc2xvcgd8</a>

    <li>Use #UMBCimmigrants to document and celebrate immigrants’ contributions to our community.</li>
    <li>Participate, celebrate, and experience the beauty of our immigrant communities at UMBC by showing up, bringing your classes, inviting your friends.</li>
