<Title>Advanced PhD Students: Apply for the &#8220;Academy for Future Science Faculty&#8221;</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>CURRENT U.S. PhD students who are ~12-18 months from completion:  PROMISE asks you to apply. This is an initiative that is going out to all AGEPs across the nation.</p>
    <p><strong>The Academy for Future Science Faculty</strong><br>
    <strong>Group II – Advanced Stage PhD Students</strong><br>
    <strong>Get a BIG head-start on the next critical step toward an academic career!</strong></p>
    <p>With a grant from NIH, in 2011 we launched a brand new approach to assisting the development of young scientists called the Academy for Future Science Faculty. The Academy uses sophisticated coaching techniques to supplement what PhD students get from their research mentors and graduate programs. Students participate in annual summer conferences and stay connected with student colleagues and their Academic Career Coaches throughout the year. The Academy has been designed for students who have the long-term goal of becoming a faculty member. Phase I started in 2011 with 100 students just beginning the PhD. This current announcement for Phase 2 is for students LIKELY TO COMPLETE THEIR PHD WITHIN THE NEXT 12-18 MONTHS. All expenses will be paid so there will be no cost to you.</p>
    <p>The Academy is being conducted as a true experiment – 60 students will be RANDOMLY selected to participate from those who apply. Selection will not be based on grades, GRE scores, publications or letters of recommendation. We encourage applications that will help us create a diverse group of participants in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, etc.</p>
    <p>Be a part of the first group of advanced PhD students to join the Academy! <strong>Extended deadline: April 30!</strong> APPLY HERE –&gt; <a href="https://nufsm.wufoo.com/forms/academy-for-future-science-faculty-group-ii/">https://nufsm.wufoo.com/forms/academy-for-future-science-faculty-group-ii/</a></p>

<Title>Data Center Shut Down Friday, April 29th</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">In preparation for the campus wide power outage scheduled on Sunday, April 29th, DoIT will be shutting down one of our two campus data centers. During the power outage there will be no backup cooling available to the Public Policy (PUP) Building data center so a shutdown of the hardware in this location is necessary.
    
    Beginning at <strong>4:00pm on Friday, April 27th the PUP data center will be shut down</strong>. There are two services that will be unavailable during this time (April 27 4:00pm through Noon, April 30th). All other services will be unaffected.
    
    <strong>Affected Services:</strong>
    
    * iStrategy (REX) Finance Only - (Student Will Remain Available)
    * Peoplesoft Development
    
    
    <strong>We anticipate having the PUP data center and all associated services fully restored by noon, April 30th.</strong>
    
    On a positive note we have a new data center lease agreement with Allegis in UMBC’s research park. DoIT will begin moving many of our production systems currently hosted in the PUP data center to the new data center late this summer. The new data center has fully redundant power and cooling which will enhance UMBC’s redundancy and disaster recovery.</div>
