Students will be mentored by a UMBC faculty member and a non-academic scientist from a government agency, non-profit, or industry. That research team will be embedded in a larger stakeholder team, meaning that each student and their mentors will identify one or more community members (non-scientists) with a stake in the research to be engaged in the research from development to completion. </div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>Students will also be taking skills courses (community leadership, DEIJ, oral and written communication) and disciplinary courses appropriate to their research project. </div>

    <Title>Introducing the Maxine Tracy Wellness Room</Title>
    <Tagline>Same great space with a Wonderful New Name!</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <div>This Wednesday, the Women's Center's lactation room will be named the Maxine Tracy Wellness Room!!</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Our new name comes in response to the generosity of Dr. Kate Tracy, M.A. ’01, Ph.D. ’03, psychology, who created an endowment for the Women's Center and named it in honor of her grandmother, Maxine Tracy.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>"Raised in a small, mid-western town, Tracy looks back on her grandmother Maxine as a source of unconditional love and support. “My grandmother was a caregiver. In many ways, she was the northstar in my compass, and no matter where I roamed or what challenges life has brought, I always felt anchored—in the most positive way—to her. She did what she could where she was for as many as she could in the way that she could. She opened opportunities for a lot of women. And she will always be one of my heroes,” says Tracy, who is honoring the late Maxine with an endowment in her name to the Women’s Center. "</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The above excerpt comes from "Living Her Values" written by Randianne Leyshon '09. Read the full story to learn more about Maxine and Kate  and the ways in which the Women's Center will benefit from this generous endowment for years to come. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>And, as mentioned in the title of this post, while it has a new name, the wellness space is still a space to support lactation, prayer, and meditation. For those looking to make reservations to use this space as a lactation room, contact the Women's Center at <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a> or visit this post for more details. </div>

    <Title>UMBC Racing News</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <p>Last weekend, UMBC Racing drove up to northern New York to
          compete in a volunteer-run Baja competition, Oktobajafest. The competition
          consisted of hill climb, acceleration, design, and Baja cross events, followed
          by a 4.5-hour endurance race. UMBC Racing earned 9th in design and earned
          5th in Baja cross, an event that tests your vehicle’s ground clearance and
          suspension and your driver’s skill. This competition provided some much-needed
          practice to a team that was only able to go to 1 competition in the last 2
          years due to the pandemic. Our drivers got valuable seat time, design practice,
          and we learned about more component failures to resolve in our 2022 vehicle
          design. Oktobajafest was a blast and has put UMBC Racing on a course for
          success in the 2022 Baja SAE season where we will be going to all three
          competitions, New York, Tennessee, and Arizona.</p>
