    <p>The PMF Program was established by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order_(United_States)" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Executive Order</a> in 1977 and amended by Executive Order in 2003 to attract to the Federal service outstanding citizen-scholars from a variety of academic disciplines and career paths who have a clear interest in, and commitment to, excellence in the leadership and management of public policies and programs. Program regulations were amended again in December 2010 by Executive Order<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Management_Fellows_Program#cite_note-5" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>[5]</span></a> establishing the PMF Program as one of the three student Pathways to federal employment. By drawing graduate students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds, the PMF Program provides a continuing source of trained men and women to meet the future challenges of public service.</p>
    <p>The PMF Program is a flagship leadership development program at the entry level for advanced degree candidates. It was created more than three decades ago by Executive Order and has gone through many changes over the years.</p>

<Title>In All Transparency: a public art project about voting</Title>
<Tagline>Artist and Activist participation requested</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <strong>In All Transparency</strong> focuses on getting out the vote during the pandemic, the history of voting rights, racial oppression in voting, and the United States Postal Service. The USPS has become a nexus for these issues leading up to the general election in 2020. Through an open call, artists and activists create mail art aiming to shed light on these histories and our current moment. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The artists use translucent materials to create mail art that will be sent in transparent vellum envelopes; when illuminated on a light table, various messages and perspectives of the makers will be transparent.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The mail art messages will be photographed and then projected large scale in a loop outside Gallery CA at 440 E Oliver Street in Baltimore, MD and read by people passing by as we approach the general election. Once documented, the mail art will then be sent to a person of the maker's choosing to encourage voter participation and demand fair elections. These luminous messages might be sent to a targeted voter in a swing state, a family member or politician, for example. <strong>In All Transparency </strong>engages with the history of mail art during this time of physical isolation and social solidarity.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <ul>
    <li>Email <a href="mailto:dkuthy@towson.edu">dkuthy@towson.edu</a> or text (443) 248-7022 with interest.</li>
    <li>Pick up vellum envelopes between September 29 and October 9. Sizes: 3.6 x 5.1, 4.75 x 6.5, 5.5 x 5.5, or 5.25 x 7.25</li>
    <li>Drop off mail art between October 12 and October 18. Email a statement (50 words or less).</li>
    <li>Mailed to addressee by October 19.</li>

<Title>The Black Butterfly: the harmful politics of race and space</Title>
<Tagline>An event hosted by Geography &amp; Environmental Systems</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The GES Department cordially invites you to join their Virtual
    Seminar Series
    Wednesday, October 7th at noon.  WebEx code can be found at <a href="https://ges.umbc.edu/ges-seminar-series/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://ges.umbc.edu/ges-seminar-series/ </a><div>

    <div><strong>Rise of the Black Butterfly </strong></div>
    <div><strong>Dr. Lawrence T. Brown </strong></div>
    <div><em>Visiting Associate Professor, Population Health Institute
    University of Wisconsin-Madison </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists,
    incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and
    marched on city streets. The Black Butterfly refers to the fact that Baltimore's majorityBlack population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down
    the center of the city like a butterfly's wings. In his research and publications, Lawrence T.
    Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies,
    practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hyper-segregated
    cities around the country. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation,
    many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy despite the common belief
    that overtly racist policies are a thing of the past. Brown persuasively argues that, since
    urban apartheid was intentionally erected, it can be intentionally dismantled. The Black
    Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how
    Black neighborhoods matter. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Lawrence T. Brown is the proud grandson of Mississippi
    and Arkansas Delta sharecroppers and preachers.
    From 2010 to 2019, Dr. Brown worked at Morgan State
    University in the School of Community Health and Policy
    where his research examined the impact of historical
    trauma on community health. In June 2018 he was
    honored by OSI Baltimore with the Bold Thinker award
    for sparking critical discourse regarding Baltimore’s
    racial segregation. In September 2018, he was named
    #61 in The Root 100 – an annual list of the most influential African Americans ages 25 to
    45. His first book, <u>The Black Butterfly: The Politics of Race and Space in America</u>, will be
    published by The Johns Hopkins University Press in January 2021.</div>
