Global Conflict Non-Profit Looking For Volunteers
Great opportunity to get experience and gain research skills
Airwars is a not-for-profit transparency watchdog which tracks, assesses, archives and investigates civilian harm claims resulting primarily from explosive weapons use in conflict-affected nations including Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. We also work with militaries, where practicable, to help improve understanding of civilian harm with the aim of reducing battlefield casualties.
Founded in 2014, we are today a leading authority on conflict violence as it affects civilian communities. Our international team has monitored more than 30 belligerents across six conflict countries and to date has tracked almost 60,000 locally alleged civilian deaths.
Headquartered in the UK, Airwars is affiliated with the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. Our subsidiary organisation Airwars Stichting is registered as a not for profit in the Netherlands, which is also home to our satellite European office in Utrecht. Airwars staff and volunteers are variously based in the UK, Middle East, Europe and North America.

Relay for Life May 6th 1pm to 7pm
Come help raise money for a worthy cause!!!
The UMBC Cancer Awareness Society is hosting
Relay for Life on Friday, May 6th from 1 to 7 pm at UMBC in partnership with the Shriver Center, Residential Student Association, UMBC Police, and other campus departments.
We would like to formally invite all POLI students, faculty, staff, and related organizations to join the Political Science Council of Majors' team for the event. Participants may sign up individually, form their own team, or join an existing team. The registration fee is $15 and participants can sign up at
relayforlife.org/umbc
Relay for Life is a nationwide event that is used to raise money for cancer research for the American Cancer Society. The event itself is typically overnight with yard games, special ceremonies, and small competitions and games. We relay or walk around the track in support of those who have been impacted by cancer in any way (survivors, caregivers, etc.). The event's slogan is "cancer doesn't sleep so we won't either" so we require one person from each team to stay walking on the track at all hours of the event. All proceeds from the event go to our overall fundraising goal of $10,000.
See the event website and attached flyer for more details. Contact Hager Younes (
hyounes2@umbc.edu), President of the Cancer Awareness Society for further questions regarding the event.
Best,
Zoe Smith
Political Science Council of Majors, Secretary

TOMORROW POLI SCI RESEARCH CONFERENCE
Free lunches available; 11am to 1pm, PUP 2nd Floor
On Wednesday April 20th from 11am to 1pm, the Political Science Department, using funding from the national organization of Pi Sigma Alpha, is hosting an on-campus in-person conference on the second floor of the policy building. Eleven Political Science students will be presenting their work as posters. Please stop by if you can - also, boxed lunches will be available on a first come first serve basis. So come early if you want a free lunch!
You don't have to come for the entire time if you have class; please feel free to stop by for some of the time to support your peers and learn about the research that is being done by UMBC students on campus. The last time we held the event was in 2019, so this will be an extra special day for us! It's a great way to connect with everyone in the Department.
Thanks so much and we hope you stop by!

Haleemat Adekoya recieves Prestigious Truman Scholarship
Congratulations our Outstanding Poli Sci students
A huge congrats to Haleemat and to Rehman Liaqat who was a finalist for the scholarship
The Foundation selected recipients from a pool of over 700 applicants who showed a strong record of public service and also submitted a policy proposal addressing a concerning issue in society. Scholars receive $30,000 to attend the graduate school of their choice, as well as access to public service programs, mentorship, and job opportunities within the federal government.
"It is an honor and a pleasure to know that I have been named a 2022 Truman Scholar. All I can say is Glory be to God and to my village, thank you forever," says Adekoya. "I look forward to continuing to engage in my commitment to cultivate transformative learning spaces and elevating the voices of Black children and celebrating their brilliance."
Governor Hogan announced Farah Helal's appointment to the USM Board of Regents as a student regent in February and she was formally confirmed in March. She will serve as one of two USM student regents from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, including as a voting member during her second year.
Helal will represent the USM student voice in meetings and committees working on issues that impact the system's twelve institutions. Key topics involve setting tuition and fee rates, approving new degree programs, and approving capital and operating budgets.
We are so proud of Farah's dedication and commitment to students and public service
