     is working to change that with new learning pathways for non-computer

    <p><strong>Demystifying computer science</strong></p>
    <p><span>The first course in the series was 
    piloted in spring 2018, teaching computer science fundamentals through 
    projects on real-world topics of interest to students from a broad range
     of majors. The second course (launching in fall 2019) will enable 
    students to gain a deeper understanding of the Python programming 
    language through examples that are relevant for non-majors.</span></p>
    <p><span>Mitchell is the instructor of the 
    first course, which is now in its third semester. She shares that the 
    course has gained traction, with 18-22 students enrolling each semester,
     half of whom identify as women. Mitchell notes that students in the 
    computer science for non-majors course have also demonstrated the same

    gave us valuable experience designing functional programs,” he says. “I

    <p><strong>Expand computing education at UMBC</strong></p>
    <p><span>Joshi is excited about the 
    opportunity reach a broader set of students through the X + Computing 
    program. He notes that some students in other majors can feel deterred 
    by the math and science prerequisites for traditional computer science 
    courses. “The current design of most computer science classes thus 
    misses out on this more diverse set of students interested in

    <p><span>Increasing access to computing skills
     is an important priority for Joshi and for his department. He hopes X +
     Computing will appeal to both students who want to add a computer 
    science or computing minor to their non-computing major, and students 
    who want to shape a major around interests rooted in computing. In the 
    future, it’s possible that existing courses will be combined to create a

    campus. </span></p>
    <p><span>This program is one of several 
    initiatives the College of Engineering and Information Technology and 
    UMBC more broadly are exploring to expand opportunities for students 
    from all backgrounds to grow their technical knowledge and experience.</span></p>
    <p><span>“Finding ways to enable expertise in 
    digital proficiency and experience in engineering design for all 
    students, including students in any UMBC major, is essential for our 
    college to help fulfill Maryland’s goals for its future workforce,”

Starting today, graduating students will be able to pick up their caps and gown from the Bookstore. </div><div><br></div><div>Currently, the default name that is read at Commencement is the student's legal name.

If you know any students who are unsure about how to have their chosen name read at commencement, please direct them to the Registrar's Office. I have also included their hours and contact information on the document. </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, if you have any students who were unable to attend our Lavender Celebration but would like a Lavender cord, please click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lavendercord2019" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. The deadline has been extended to Wednesday, May 22, 2019, by 4pm.
