Nationwide Law School Forum
Hi Everyone!
I hope you are having a great summer break! Here is some information that I would like to pass along.
Next month, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) will be hosting a LawSchool Forum in Washington DC for prospective law students.
LSAC Law School Forums are the only events that allow prospective lawstudents to chat with up to 185 ABA-approved law school representatives in one convenient setting. Attendees also have the ability to go to exclusive workshops, including About the LSAT (Meet an LSAT Developer), Financing a Legal Education, The Application Process, Diversity Information Panel, and more.
All LSAC Law School Forums are free to attend. Each year, thousands of prospective law school students attend the forums, which make them great networking events.
I have attached a flier provides dates and how to sign up. If this interests you, please check out the website.
See you in fall!

LLC Students Needed for Fall Women's Center Roundtables
A great opportunity for LLC students
The Women's Center is looking for graduate students to help lead our roundtable discussions planned for fall semester. If your research interests relate to any of the following topics (or if you'd be interested in potentially leading a future discussion related to feminism, social justice, or gender/women's issues), we want to hear from you!
- Whiteness and white girl/womanhood (Tuesday, September 22nd from 4-5pm)
- Women and sports (TBD for early November)
The Women's Center's roundtable discussion series explores various issues and identities through a feminist lens. These conversations are led by a panel of faculty, staff, and student participants who provide insight and context to encourage a critical dialogue. Past discussion topics include the construction of mixed-race identities, gender and immigration, and Black hair and body politics.
Please contact Megan Tagle Adams at
megan@umbc.edu if you're interested in participating in either of our fall discussions or if you'd like more information.

Dusman and Smallwood's Octava app featured in Baltimore Sun
Engaging and building music audiences through a custom app
"The app, called Octava, is aimed at enhancing the musical experience for listeners by delivering information via Wifi, synced with the music being played in the concert hall.
"We're trying to find ways to help contemporary audiences engage with words that match the elegance of the orchestral performance," said Octava co-founder Linda Dusman, a professor of music at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County."
Read the full article on the Sun’s website
Dr. Linda Dusman, Music, and Eric Smallwood, Visual Arts, were interviewed by The Baltimore Sun’s Tim Smith about their app Octava, which is designed to enhance the audience experience at symphony orchestra performances.
In development for several years and formerly known as Symphony Interactive, the project received a $150,000 Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII) grant in 2014.
Maryland Morning featured an interview with Revolution of the Eye curator Dr. Maurice Berger, UMBC Research Professor.
Listen to the archived broadcast here.
From the feature:
"Maybe you were a "Mad Men" fan, or you were addicted to "Breaking Bad", or you’re losing sleep over the fate of Frank and Claire. If so, then maybe you think that we’re in a golden age of television. For years, TV was considered the lowest of low art. Back in 1961, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Newton Minow, described television as a “vast wasteland.” There’s plenty of trash on TV these days, but also, some of the world’s finest work in video and film. The connection between high art and the origins of TV is the subject of a new book that accompanies an exhibition that is currently at the Jewish Museum in New York."

Congrats to the Kinetic Sculpture Race Team!
Grand East Coast National Mediocre Champions!
"The
Grand Overall East Coast Ace Champion must ACE the course. The award is
determined by Mysterious Mathematical Means which include a point
scoring system based on artistic merit, engineering prowess, and
blinding speed of the Sculpture. The Sculpture with the highest average
score in art, engineering, and speed is the Grand Champion."
On
Sunday June 14th 2015 UMBC's Kinetic Sculpture Racing (KSR) team won
the "Grand East Coast National Mediocre Champion Award" which means that
we are eligible to race in the Kinetic Grand Championship in
California. The amphibious Kraken Upcycle endured 15 miles of Baltimore
roadways, water, mud, and sand tests, and overcame a mechanical
breakdown midway through the race in order to finish the course. A photo
of the Kraken is now featured on the Kinetic Baltimore preliminary
results pageat http://www.kineticbaltimore.com/KSR/2015/Preliminary.asp.
Our
four pilots represented four different majors at UMBC: Gabriel "Ragnar
the Creator" Margarida from Mechanical Engineering, Rob "Destroyer of
all Kraken Nuisances" Ford from Geography and Environmental Systems,
Vijay "Long Chain" Raju from Media and Communication Studies (also a
professional mountain bike racer), and Kirby "the Wanderer" Kelbaugh, a
recent Interdisciplinary Studies graduate. Riding with the pit crew were
chief artistic designer Mai Huong Huynh-Teage (a recent Visual Arts
graduate), Fulbright scholar Stephen "the Maimed" Moore,
Interdisciplinary Studies students Markus "the Kraken Slayer" Proctor,
Jasper "the sailmaker" Dudley and Heather "maker of jellyfish hats and
sock puppet" Mortimer, and Professor Steven McAlpine. They were all
enrolled in an Interdisciplinary Studies Spring 2015 Project Based
Learning course, and this award is an affirmation of their dedicated
teamwork and brilliant design. Special thanks to Andrew "the Giant"
Starck, who towed the Kraken up the ramp out of the water (and chief
pontoon designer), Daniel "Gatorade" Teage for riding with the pit crew
and taking great photographs, Nandit "the Bottle King" Shah, Jack "the
Keeneyed Kineticist" Neumeier, and Andres "Submarine" Camacho for their
design and build work with the team.
