  <Title>Recruiting UMBC Students for the Grand Challenge Scholars Program , Fri. 2/17</Title>

    <p> </p>
    <p>UMBC undergraduates interested in the Grand Challenge Scholars Program are encouraged to attend a symposium and recruiting event at 1:00pm on Friday, February 17.</p>
    <p>The <a href="http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/GrandChallengeScholarsProgram.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Grand Challenge Scholars Program</a> is a program for undergraduates in all majors who are interested in thinking about big problems facing society, and how to solve them from broad, multidisciplinary perspectives. Students select one of 14 Grand Challenges identified by the National Academy Engineering, and work within the cohort of Grand Challenge Scholars to identify and pursue experiences related to their Grand Challenge in five program areas: research, interdisciplinary, entrepreneurship, global, and service.</p>
    <p>To launch the upcoming spring application period for UMBC students entering the program, there will be a Grand Challenge Symposium on February 17, 2017, from 1-2:30 pm on the 7th floor of the Library. The symposium will feature 14 UMBC faculty members who will give two minute “mini-talks” on their research as it relates to the 14 Grand Challenges. The event will also showcase some of the work of the current Grand Challenge Scholars, and we will offer light refreshments.</p>
    <p>Students who are interested in applying to the Grand Challenge Scholars Program are especially encouraged to attend, as are faculty and staff who have an interest in any of the Grand Challenges or would simply like to learn more about the program. More information about the program is available on the <a href="http://gcsp.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Grand Challenge Scholars Program Web site</a> and applications are due on April 1.</p>
    <p>Course instructors or TAs can arrange for a program representative come to their class to share information about the program by contacting Prof. *protected email* or *protected email*.</p>
    <p>Please RSVP for the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/grandchallenges/events/47165" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">event</a>, follow the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/grandchallenges" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Grad Challenges MyUMBC group</a> and contact *protected email* if you have any questions or comments about the program.</p>

  <Title>February is National African American/Black History Month!</Title>
  <Tagline>ASALH National Theme &amp; Executive Summary</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><div><div><div><h5>Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) </h5><h5>The Crisis in Black Education  <br>Executive Summary 2017</h5><div>The theme for 2017 focuses on the crucial role of education in the history of African Americans.
    ASALH’s founder Carter G. Woodson once wrote that “if you teach the Negro that he has
    accomplished as much good as any other race he will aspire to equality and justice without
    regard to race.” Woodson understood well the implications associated with the denial of access
    to knowledge, and he called attention to the crisis that resulted from persistently imposed racial
    barriers to equal education. The crisis in black education first began in the days of slavery when
    it was unlawful for slaves to learn to read and write. In pre-Civil War northern cities, free blacks
    were forced as children to walk long distances past white schools on their way to the one school
    relegated solely to them. Whether by laws, policies, or practices, racially separated schools
    remained the norm in America from the late nineteenth century well into our own time. </div><div><br></div><div>Throughout the last quarter of the twentieth century and continuing today, the crisis in black
    education has grown significantly in urban neighborhoods where public schools lack resources,
    endure overcrowding, exhibit a racial achievement gap, and confront policies that fail to deliver
    substantive opportunities. The touted benefits of education remain elusive to many blacks of all
    ages. Tragically, some poorly performing schools serve as pipelines to prison for youths. </div><div><br></div><div>Yet, African American history is rich in centuries-old efforts of resistance to this crisis: the
    slaves’ surreptitious endeavors to learn; the rise of black colleges and universities after the Civil
    War; unrelenting battles in the courts; the black history movement; the freedom schools of the
    1960s; and local community-based academic and mentorship programs that inspire a love of
    learning and thirst for achievement. Addressing the crisis in black education should be considered one of the most important goals in America’s past, present, and future.</div></div></div></div></div></div>
