    <div class="html-content"><p>Hi everyone. My name is Sarah Khalife, and I am part of the Academic Affairs Department in SGA. I'm hoping to increase new student participation in Y-Sections. However, I would like to get an understanding of other students' perspectives and experiences with these classes. So I am wondering have <em>you</em> heard of or taken a Y-Section (i.e: ENG101Y)? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!</p>
    <br>
    <h5><u>Y-SECTION SURVEY</u></h5>
    <br>
    <strong><p>For each item identified below, label the number of the question with your answer next to it.</p></strong>
    <br>
    <strong><p>Year: Please state whether you identify as being a First Year student, Sophomore, Junior, or a Senior.</p></strong>
    <br>
    <ol>
    <li>Have you heard of a Y-Section, TRS, or IHU class before?  Yes/No</li><br>If so, can you describe what you've heard?<br><br>
    <li>Have you taken a Y-Section class before? Yes/No</li><br>If you did, how would you rate it? (1-Great, 5-Terrible)<br><br>Could you please explain your choice?<br><br>
    <li>Would you suggest it to a first year student (students in their first year of college or who have transferred from another institution)? Yes/No</li>

    Are you looking for a way to get involved with this year's election or refuel your creative juices before the school year starts? SGA needs your talent! <div><br></div><div>This year we will host Election Night Extravaganza after the polls close on November 6th. We hold this event every four years to celebrate our ability to vote and to watch the election returns and see who will be our representatives for the next four years. There will also be some exciting referenda on this year's ballot for Maryland voters, so this election is more important than ever. It'll be a fun night with lots of food, games, and friends. 
    </div><div><br></div><div>We are eagerly looking for a logo, t-shirt design, and poster to help students recognize Election Night Extravaganza and other election related events. Designs should be patriotic, creative, and appropriate. If you think you have a great idea, <strong>send your designs to SGA's Director of Community and Governmental Affairs Meghan Carpenter at <a href="mailto:cmeg1@umbc.edu">cmeg1@umbc.edu</a> by September 4th.</strong> The Planning Committee will choose a design to be seen around campus and the community, and the winning designer will get a prize!</div><div><br></div><div>Best of luck!</div></div></div>

<Title>SGA 2012-2013 Executive Branch Application</Title>
<Tagline>Let's Make UMBC Ours!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Welcome to the 2012-2013 Student Government Association Executive Branch Application! 
    
    The Student Government Association (SGA) is the voice of the undergraduate students at UMBC. Serving as one of the governing bodies at UMBC, the SGA meets with key administrators and approves campus-wide policies in support of an active, academically enriched, social student environment. The SGA has an Executive Branch, Senate, Finance Board, and Judicial Branch. SGA’s purpose is to organize and support undergraduate students in creating distinctive community, co-curricular and academic experiences; identify and voice students’ hopes and concerns; engage students in campus activities and decision-making; build mutually beneficial partnerships with individuals and organizations on and off campus and promote and defend students’ welfare.
    
    The SGA Executive Branch is comprised of Directors, Assistant Directors, and staff members that work to support departments within the SGA.  All three are critical to make sure that our organization is actively pursuing student initiatives.These non-elected positions advocate for student concerns throughout specific areas of student life on campus.
    
    The SGA Treasurer and Vice President of Student Organizations also have applications for staff members. The Financial Support Team works with the SGA Treasurer to ensure that student organizations are being supported through the SGA Funding Process. Student Organization Support is a part of SGA headed by the Vice President of Student Organizations to ensure that student organization needs are being met throughout the year. 
    
    Feel free to apply to more than one position! The executive staff application will be on a rolling basis. For the rest of the applications be sure to have them completed by July 1st.
