    <div>Beyond the traditional quantitative and qualitative criteria
    for promotion used at UMBC and by our Language, Literacy &amp; Culture Doctoral
    Program, all the evaluators echoed the external

    <div><br></div>
    <div>Dr. Moffitt's research is in the area of race

<Title>UMBC's 5th Annual ArtRising: @choicevoices on Instagram</Title>
<Tagline>Join us for a daylong event on Saturday, April 25!</Tagline>

    <span><p><span><strong>Dear LLC Family, </strong></span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><strong><em>This week is the Choice Program at UMBC's 5th Annual ArtRising, taking place virtually @choicevoices on instagram!  </em></strong></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>The celebration includes daily workshops and activities, both pre-recorded and live, culminating in a daylong event on Saturday, April 25th. Again, it's all @choicevoices, so make sure to follow us, participate, like, and share!!</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span> On the 5th anniversary of the death of Freddie Gray, and always, opportunities for young people and communities to come together and share their voices and talents are imperative. We see ArtRising as a way of countering the discrimination, overpolicing, and adultification too many of our young people face. We see it as a way to directly compensate community artists--11 total for this event--a meaningful act for many during this time of crisis. And we see it as a way to bring all of our communities together, despite being socially distanced. We appreciate everyone's support and commitment to this work so much, and hope to see you online!</span><br></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>At this point the best way to support is through participation and helping to get the word out! Feel free to share, any questions can be directed to me,<span> </span><a href="mailto:afrank3@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">afrank3@umbc.edu</a></p>

    <p>As a result of the 
    coronavirus (COVID-19), many colleges and universities have moved to 
    online-only instruction and distance learning. We know that this means 
    physical libraries are at limited capacity or closed entirely. We want 
    to do what we can to help.</p>
    <p>To support academic libraries and their many patrons, we are providing temporary free access to the <em>Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association</em> (6th and 7th editions), the <em>Concise Guide to APA Style</em>, and more than 160 other books published by APA Books through VitalSource and RedShelf.</p>
    <p>These will be available for free to instructors and students at 
    participating nonprofit academic institutions affected by campus 
    closures until May 25, 2020:</p>
