  <Title>Welcome to UMBC, the DIY Campus</Title>
  <Tagline>Each of us can make contributions that matter</Tagline>

    <div>This is our time: all of us together, the people of UMBC, last of the campus pioneers.</div>
    <br><div>
    <span>Every one of us will forever carry the distinction of</span> having arrived before UMBC’s 50th anniversary. The UMBC community has built a legacy of grit and greatness, but the process of creating UMBC has not ended. The paths that we walk among the campus buildings all began with the footsteps of our predecessors across dirt and grass. Now we have the opportunity to make paths of our own, to live and write the story of this remarkable scholarly community, knowing that our contributions and legacies will guide the journeys of generations yet to come.<div><br></div>
    <div>UMBC has always stood for inclusion, justice, innovation and social hope. The opportunity for each generation of Retrievers is to determine how to make those values our own, and to enact them together in our relationships and our lives. How will we build on the remarkable foundation laid by our predecessors? What kind of community will we become as each of us approaches our teaching, learning, research, activities, and the people around us with curiosity, an open heart, and a sincere desire to change the world for the better?<div><br></div>
    <div>What we know is that each of us will matter. Every new member of our community has a story to tell, and a contribution to make. To all of you: Welcome!<div><br></div>
    <div>The two of us were at a student government retreat last week, where one participant described UMBC as a “DIY campus.” That’s exactly right: Here, we do it ourselves, together. And now, as a new year begins, all of us roll up our sleeves and return to the work of building.<br><br>We want to introduce a few online resources for people at UMBC who want to make the most of their time here by getting involved as co-creators of their communities, on campus and beyond.</div>

    <div>Her research investigates Fair Trade through a feminist economics lens to see whether it truly can aid in <span>preventing gender violence and discrimination in Latin America. Last winter, she traveled to Honduras where she </span><span>visited various coffee plantations and “fincas” and interviewed about 25 women about working conditions. Her next </span><span>step in the process is to transcribing, translating, and analyzing all the qualitative data.</span>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>As a part of celebrating UMBC's 50th Anniversary this fall, Student Life is organizing a time capsule to be opened at UMBC's 100th Anniversary in 2066! We're calling on all members of the campus community to submit items (e.g., letters, artifacts, and pictures) that reflect UMBC as it is today and that are not readily found in the UMBC Archives.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We need the entire UMBC community's assistance with spreading this call for artifacts to all corners of the institution. <strong>Please paw and share this post with your respective office, department, division, organization, and/or group of friends! </strong>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>Please note that there is a PDF at the bottom of the post that you can share.</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Here are some questions UMBC community members may have regarding the time capsule along with some answers:</div>

    <li>If you have an item that is either too big or too valuable to put in the time capsule, please take the item to commonvision (Commons 309) to be photographed and considered for inclusion in the time capsule with the completed 3x5 index card.</li>
    </ul>
    <div><strong><u>Who should submit?</u></strong></div>

    </ul>
    <div><strong><u>When will the time capsule be sealed and reopened?</u></strong></div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <ul><li>The time capsule will be sealed in the Fall of 2016 and opened 50 years later in 2066.</li></ul>
    <div><strong><u>Where will the time capsule live for 50 years?</u> </strong></div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <ul><li>The time capsule will be on display in The Commons lobby.</li></ul>
    <div><strong><u>Who will determine what gets included and what doesn't?</u></strong></div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>A small committee of students, faculty, and staff will review all submissions for the time capsule and determine will be included in its original form.</li>
