    <strong>Sami Schalk</strong>, Associate Professor, Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Drawing from the book, <em>Black Disability Politics</em>, this talk will detail the Black Panther Party’s involvement in the 1977 504 Sit-in, in which protesters around the country picketed and occupied government offices to urge passage of delayed regulations related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Schalk will discuss the sit-in as an historical example of how Black cultural workers have engaged with disability as a political issue in ways that have sometimes been obscured in Black studies and disability studies alike.<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Biography:</strong> <strong>Dr. Sami Schalk</strong> (she/her) is an associate professor of Gender &amp; Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

  <Title>Spring 2023 Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE)</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span><u>The deadline to apply for the Spring 2023 MLE Cohort has been extended to Wednesday, February 8th, 2023 and will close at 11:59pm. </u></span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><span>The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion &amp; Belonging (i3B), that seeks to: </span></p>
    <p><span>Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program; <br>Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead; <br>And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference. </span><span></span></p>
    <p><span><br><br></span></p>
    <p><span>The sessions are as follows:</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>- Monday, February 13th, 3 - 4:30pm </span></p>
    <p><span>- Monday, February 27th, 3 - 4:30pm </span></p>
    <p><span>- Monday, March 13th, 3 - 4:30pm </span></p>
    <p><span>- Monday, April 17th, 3 - 4:30pm </span></p>
    <p><span>- Monday, May 15th, 3 - 5:00pm </span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>***All sessions will take place in The Commons 2B23 | The Mosaic: Center for Cultural Diversity***<br> </span></p>
    <p><span>Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by: </span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><span>Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;</span></li>
    <li><span>Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;</span></li>
    <li><span>Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections; </span></li>
    <li><span>And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups. </span></li>
    </ul>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!   </span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>Registration has been extended to close on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023 at 11:59pm.</span><span> If you are interested in signing up to be a part of our Spring 2023 cohort, you can sign up using <a href="https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6Mwa8Kpqgpnhddk" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this form</a>. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to participate. In order to be accepted into the program you must commit to all 5 sessions.

    <p><span>My position duties include working as a member of the Data and Trading Systems engineering team on project-based assignments. I work on Python Language along with MSSQL and Oracle DB to implement packages to automate the trading systems. Building data ingestion workflows using Python, Apache Airflow, and SQL</span></p>
    <p><span>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</span><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>When I was looking for Summer 2022 Internship, I cam across the intern position at Campbell &amp; Company in January. I applied through various platforms like LinkedIn, Career Fare, UMBCworks and Handshake. One day, I got the call from HR of the Campbell &amp; Company to schedule the technical round in the First week of March. My technical round lasted for about 3 hours and after 3-4 days, I got a call from HR to congratulate me for my offer.</span></p>

    <p><span>UMBC Career Center, Career Fairs, UMBCworks, LinkedIn or Other Social Media</span></p>
    <p><span>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </span><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>I like the work environment here. My team members are very helpful and inspiring. We do a lot of brainstorming around problems before diving into the coding part. Which is the best part of my work. </span></p>
    <p><span>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</span></p>
    <p><span>So far I am able to develop 4 packages which are being used by the live data and trading systems without any fail. For that, I got appreciate by my manager in our Quarterly meeting.</span></p>
    <p><span>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </span></p>
    <p><span>Instead of focusing on language specifics, just dive into the programming logics to develop sense of problem solving. It is more important that you understand which data structure to use to solve a specific problem. Also, you should be able to break down any big problem to smaller problems.</span></p>
    <p><span>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</span></p>
    <p><span>Focus on learning new things and understanding work culture.</span></p>
