  <Title>TB Screening Clinic Extended &#8212; Walk In Through September 24!</Title>
  <Tagline>QuantiFERON Clinic</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Dear UMBC Community,</p>
    <p>Retriever Integrated Health is pleased to announce that the QuantiFERON (TB blood test) Clinic in partnership with Quest Diagnostics has been extended through Thursday, September 24. This extension gives more time for students, faculty, and staff to complete their TB screening right here on campus.</p>
    <p>Extended Clinic Details</p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>New Dates: Now through September 24</p></li>
    <li><p>Hours: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM</p></li>
    <li><p>Location: Center for Well-Being</p></li>
    <li><p>No Appointment Needed – Just Walk In!</p></li>
    </ul>
    <p>Why TB Screening Matters?<br>Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs and spread through the air. Many academic programs, clinical placements, internships, and employment opportunities require TB screening as part of their health clearance. Getting tested on campus ensures you meet these requirements conveniently and on time.</p>
    <p>Who Should Attend?</p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>Students with TB screening requirements for classes, programs, or internships</p></li>
    <li><p>Faculty and staff needing a TB test for employment or professional purposes</p></li>
    <li><p>Anyone interested in confirming their TB status for personal health</p></li>
    </ul>
    <p>What to Expect?<br>The clinic uses the reliable QuantiFERON blood test, conducted by Quest Diagnostics. No appointments are necessary during the extended period, just walk in between 9 AM and 4 PM. Please bring your campus ID and insurance card if available.</p>
    <p>Take this opportunity to prioritize your health and help protect the UMBC community.</p>

          <div><strong>UMBC PUBLIC STORIES LAB STORYTELLING SCHOLARSHIP</strong></div>
          <div><strong><br></strong></div>
          <div>
          <div>The Storytelling Scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year have been announced. The application, <a href="https://forms.gle/MvCefHnSNhYWTY8z6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">which can be accessed here</a>, is intended for UMBC students (both undergraduate and graduate) to 
          apply for a $500 scholarship to support storytelling research and 
          praxis. The deadline to submit for the 2025-2026 academic year is Friday, October 17th; scholarship
           recipients will be contacted if further information about their project
           is requested and final scholarship decisions will be made by November 
          15th.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The Public Stories Lab engages and supports a broad variety of public
           storytelling research and praxis. We encourage applications from 
          students across UMBC colleges (COEIT, CNMS, CAHSS, Social Work, Erickson
           School) and campuses (UMBC Catonsville, Shady Grove). Projects might 
          include digital storytelling, podcasting, story mapping, oral histories,
           immersive storytelling, public storytelling performances, oral storytelling traditions, visual storytelling (animation, comics, zines), data stories, and more! </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Scholarship
           recipients will be expected to attend one mentoring session with PSL 
          mentors and other scholarship recipients and share their storytelling 
          project (finished or in progress) at the PSL Storytelling Mini-Fest at 
          the end of the Spring 2026 semester. The Public Stories
           Lab (PSL) is a collaborative and innovative hub for faculty, students, 
          and staff to co-construct knowledge and to bring relationships and stories to the center of research and pedagogy; proposals for this scholarship should align with the mission of the PSL. </div>
