    <p>The events, activism, discussions, support, and stories that
    stem from Sexual Assault Awareness Month are some of the Women’s Center’s most
    significant and special. Take Back the Night (TBTN) is one of the largest
    events the Women's Center hosts every year. To honor this special event that
    centers survivors stories and healing and invites our community to dismantle
    rape culture, we created a <a href="https://www.umbc.edu/tbtn/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">virtual TBTN experience.</a></p>
    
    <p>We invite our community to visit this platform and engage in
    the visual and audio content. Spend time alone or with others sitting with the
    reflection questions and action items. Share your thoughts on social media
    using #UMBCtbtn. </p>
    
    <p><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/events/93530" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Join the Women's Center on April 20th at 4pm to be in
    community as we experience virtual TBTN 2021 together!</a></p>
    
    <p>Thank you to the student who shared their voices to make the
    experience a richer and deeper experience for the UMBC community. Special
    thanks to OIA staff, Bryan Barnes and Kevin McGuire, who took a glimmer of idea
    and turned it into a reality.</p>

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Lujane Elkhatib</Title>
<Tagline>An animated short about stress</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>Don't miss Lujane's film,<em> A Cloud Of Worries</em>- An Animated Short!</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>URCAD.umbc.edu</span></div>
    <div><span>April 19-25, 2021</span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><u>Abstract</u></div>
    <div>Mentor: Corrie Parks, Visual Arts</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><span><em>A Cloud of Worries</em> is a looping animated short about a girl who bottles up her stress and just can’t seem to escape from her worries, even in her dreams. The stress builds up, little by little, symbolized by the red cloud looming above her head. This piece represents the state of an average individual that is plagued by stress, always feeling restless. The color scheme, a combination of blues, purples and pinks, and the watercolor-like textures were all used to create the “dreamy” night time atmosphere. All animation was done digitally, and this short made use of moving two-dimensional camera effects during certain scenes like the falling sequence to make the motion more fluid and effective. It was especially crucial to capture the restlessness felt by the girl as she was falling, so she was animated to constantly rotate and twist as she fell. This project was created as a reflection of my mental state during the weeks leading up to final exams and projects. Every student is familiar with the tension near finals time, and this piece demonstrates how the inner state of our mind can be overwhelmed by any building pressure.</span></div>

<Tagline>Take Back the Night 2021 has moved online!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The events, activism, discussions, support, and stories that stem from Sexual Assault Awareness Month are some of the Women’s Center’s most significant and special. Take Back the Night (TBTN) is one of the largest events the Women's Center hosts every year. To honor this special event that centers survivors stories and healing and invites our community to dismantle rape culture, we created a <a href="https://www.umbc.edu/tbtn/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>virtual TBTN experience. </strong></a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We invite our community to visit this platform and engage in the visual and audio content. Spend time alone or with others sitting with the reflection questions and action items. Share your thoughts on social media using <em>#UMBCtbtn. </em><br><strong><em><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/womenscenter/events/93530" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Join the Women's Center on April 20th at 4pm to be in community as we experience virtual TBTN 2021 together! </a></em></strong>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thank you to the student who shared their voices to make the experience a richer and deeper experience for the UMBC community. Special thanks to OIA staff, Bryan Barnes and Kevin McGuire, who took a glimmer of idea and turned it into a reality. </div>

    <h5>Meeting the Needs of All Cultureless Learners: Culture Discourse and Quality Assumptions in Personalized Learning Research</h5>

    <div><strong>Abstract</strong></div>
    <div>"This chapter reviews recent qualitative studies on personalized learning in middle/secondary school settings to analyze the role of culture in how this concept is enacted and researched. Personalized learning is posited as a pedagogical approach that aims to revolutionize schooling and challenge educational inequity by foregrounding learners’ agency in what and how they learn, tailoring pedagogy and its purpose to learners’ unique interests, needs, and abilities. Given the strong emphasis of the approach on the uniquenesses of the persons who are learning, our analysis interrogates the discourse on culture in studies on personalized learning and extrapolates how this discourse informs problem formulation, design and logic, sources of evidence, analysis and interpretation, and implications for practice."</div>
