PS: This is a tough time for a lot of people, so we encourage you to reach out to your fellow EWB-ers for support! Hopefully some virtual hangouts will be coming soon. 

You have all heard by now that classes will all be fully online for two weeks after spring break, so we will not be meeting in person. However, our project timeline is still rolling and we have discussed ways to continue work sessions online. 

The group leaders that were named last work session will be primarily responsible for setting up online meetings for individual work groups. We are depending on you guys to help us reach our goals, so please attend and help out if you are able! Work groups will meet online and tasks will be divided up, and group leaders will update the Exec-Board on progress. 

We will also try to have at least one full-chapter project-based meeting so everyone can be on the same page. 

Updates will be coming through the chapter GroupMe for now, so keep an eye out! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any E-Board member or umbc.ewb@gmail.com. 

Thank you,

At tomorrow's GBM we have a guest speaker from Northrop Grumman coming to talk about his professional journey and life at Northrop. We hope to see you all there! Feel free to invite a friend who may be interested.
