<Title>Spring 2015 = Poli-450</Title>
<Tagline>Do you Need Upper Level Credits?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">If you are still searching for an upper level political science course 
    to meet your major requirements or graduation upper level requirements, 
    please consider POLI 450, a seminar in public management. The course 
    also satisfies the elective requirement for the Public Administration 
    minor and certificate. The class meets Mondays and Wednesdays at 
    2:30-3:45 pm in Public Policy 438. Professor Arthur Johnson is the 
    instructor.<br><br>This course examines strategies and 
    methods used by public managers in leading government agencies and 
    non-profit organizations. Special attention is given to organizational 
    mission and vision, issues of leadership, and organizational 
    transformation. How do leaders turn a poorly performing agency into a 
    productive one? Case studies will be the basis for class discussions and
     examinations. Examples will also be taken from current events at the 
    local, state, and federal government levels.</div>

<Tagline>American College Dance Festival and a New Building!</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>2014 was a banner year for the UMBC Dance Department.  Senior dance major Alexis Renee DeVance's piece, <em>Salt. Rose. Witness., </em>was selected for the American College Dance Festival's National Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.  The piece was performed at the ACDFA's East-Central Regional Dance Festival in March 2014, where it was one of eleven dances chosen for the regional gala. Only three dances from the regional gala were selected for national recognition at the Kennedy Center.  Alexis then received the top award for Outstanding Student Choreography!</p><p><span>The department moved into UMBC's spanking new Performing Arts and Humanities Building just in time for fall semester classes.  In August, we hosted the Dance Education Training Institute, co-sponsored by Clancyworks and Baltimore County Public Schools. We're all ecstatic about our new Dance Cube and Dance Technology Studios. Find out more about these beautiful facilities <a href="http://dance.umbc.edu/facilities/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.  We kicked off our performance season in October with a shared concert by Washington, D.C.- based companies<a href="http://www.rebollardance.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Rebollar Dance</a> and <a href="http://www.clancyworks.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Clancyworks</a>, and hosted the Maryland All-State Dance Auditions in December.</span></p></div>
