<Title>Tips for Letters of Recommendation!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hi Retrievers! We’re in the final stretch of the semester! Just stopping by the myUMBC sphere to make sure you’re aware of all of the resources available to you on campus. 
    <div><br></div><div>If you didn't already know, it’s not too late to sign up for
    Appointment Tutoring, or visit our Math Lab or Writing Center! Check out our past posts for more information and to sign up. (You can even sign up for
    Appointment Tutoring through our Facebook Page<a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMBCLRC" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">!</a> Just click the “sign up”
    button!)
    
    Registering for classes? Make sure you complete any
    necessary Placement Testing before your registration date! </div><div><br></div><div>Tis the season for Letters of Recommendation! Whether you need them for grad school or scholarships, now is the time to get them. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:<ul><li><span><strong>Ask the right people</strong><span>- Make sure you ask
    professors who know who you are and that </span>you've<span> worked with before. If you know
    that you </span>didn't<span> go to class for the majority of the semester, it’s safe to say
    you </span>shouldn't<span> ask that professor for a letter of recommendation.</span></span></li><li><span><strong>Ask EARLY</strong>—It should go without saying that
    professors are busy people. They grade papers, they teach lectures, attend meetings,
    do research, etc. As shocking as it may seem, they cannot just drop everything
    to write you a letter of rec. Ask well before the deadline if you want them to
    help you. We suggest at least a month’s notice.</span></li><li><span><strong>Give as much info as possible (especially the
    deadline)</strong><span>—It’s really hard to write a letter of rec when the professor </span>doesn't<span> know why the student wants it. Are you applying for med school? Are you trying
    to get an internship? These things matter. Make sure you let your professor know
    what program you’re applying for, some info about the program, the deadline,
    and why you think you’re a good fit. It’s helpful to provide your professor
    with your resume or a personal statement of your accomplishments.</span></span></li><li><span><span> </span></span><span><strong>Follow up!</strong>—If you haven’t heard anything at
    least one week before the deadline, email your professor to check in!</span></li></ul>
    
    Do you have any other helpful tips? Feel free to leave them
    in the comments!</div></div>

    <div class="html-content"><span>Come to URCAD Wednesday April 22 to see Sierra Francis present on Mohawk and Cherokee language Revitalization.</span><br><br><span>The colonization of North America resulted in the loss of nearly half of the indigenous languages that were spoken on the continent, and those remaining today are undergoing a process of language shift. This research seeks to assess the status of two Iroquoian languages with fairly limited scholarship, Mohawk and Cherokee, as well as emphasize the role education plays in their revitalization initiatives.</span></div>
