    <Title>Intern of the Week: Clair Volkening for English!</Title>
    <Tagline>Check out Clair's internship at Baltimore Museum of Industry</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <div>
          <strong>Name</strong>: Clair Volkening</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site</strong>: Baltimore Museum of Industry</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Position Title</strong>: Editorial Intern</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Major or Program</strong>: English BA Communications and Technology Track</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Current Class Level</strong>: Junior</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Work Term</strong>: Summer 2021</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.</strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>I wrote blog posts for the museum's "From Point to Point" blog, which is part of a larger project the museum is working on called the Bethlehem Steel Legacy Project. I researched the history of the old steel mill at Sparrows Point in Baltimore, interviewed sources, and published the posts I wrote to the blog. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>I heard about the internship from the English department's internship coordinator, Professor Deborah Rudacille. She sent the opportunity my way and I submitted a cover letter and resume to the museum around March.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The flexibility of the work and the joy that everyone who works at the museum exudes. This summer helped open my eyes to what is possible for me after college and gave me a glimpse into what doing what you love can look like. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The steel mill (Bethlehem Steel) at Sparrows Point is something that I don't think a lot of people outside of Baltimore know about. However, this steel mill was the largest mill in the world for a time and affected so many people in the Baltimore area. By writing about the steel mill I hope that I provide a way for others to learn about the company and its impacts. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Just keep looking around and putting yourself out there. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>I liked getting a taste of what life could look like after I graduate. For me, life post graduation has always looked like a hazy gray area. After finishing this internship the haze has started to become a little bit more defined. </div>

  <Title>Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is seeking Volunteers</Title>
  <Tagline>A great opportunity to gain experience!</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <div>Volunteer Income Tax Assistance will be holding a few information sessions throughout the
     fall semester, in case you have any questions about volunteering with VITA. The president of VITA@UMBC will be going over what it's like to be a
     VITA volunteer, and will have previous volunteers come in to talk about
     their experiences.<br><br><div>To join VITA's email list and get updates about training sessions, fill out the form at the link here: <a href="https://forms.gle/B1dt2eFHCng1QGjC6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://forms.gle/B1dt2eFHCng1QGjC6</a> </div>
    <strong><div><strong><br></strong></div>Interest meetings are scheduled to be on:</strong>
    </div>
    <div>November 2nd 2-2:50pm in lLSB 301 </div>
    <div>November 12th 10-10:50am (virtual)</div>
    <div>November 15th 7-7:50pm (virtual). </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Meeting
     links and/or more details will be sent as it gets closer to the 
    training date. We hope to have free snacks at the November 2nd meetings, so be sure to come by!</div>
    <div>
    <br><strong>Information on being a volunteer:<br></strong>During
     the fall, you won't have to do much - just expressing your interest, 
    and waiting for us to reach out to you. Around/during winter break, 
    you'll be completing training. Training this year is online and 
    asynchronous, with one final in-person training session the first week 
    of the Spring 2022 semester - this is when you'd be taking the 
    certification exam. Tax-preparing sessions will occur throughout 
    February, March, and April. You can also volunteer with us without 
    having to file taxes and take the exam. In that case, you'd be helping 
    with client intake, signing in, etc. All volunteers will be asked to do 
    at least five 4-hour shifts. Emails will be sent later in the semester 
    to register for being a volunteer.<br><br>I know that it seems like an 
    intense experience, and might be intimidating. You'll have tons of 
    people around to answer your questions - plus, it's really fun!</div>

    <p>RETRIEVER ESSENTIALS: a faculty, staff, and student partnership to tackle food insecurity in our university community.</p>
    <p>Many college students across the United States are classified as food insecure*, and UMBC is no exception. Lacking a steady source of nutritious meals can affect students’ physical and mental health, their grades, and their ability to engage in campus life.</p>
    <p>Their mission is to develop a comprehensive program of resources which eliminates the immediate burden of food insecurity for UMBC members and connects them to ongoing support networks in order to enhance their academic retention and career success.</p>
