  <Title>Trans Identities + Mental Health Resources Round-Up</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><em>A resource round-up provided by Women’s Center staff members</em></p>
    <p>In case you missed yesterday’s roundtable on Trans Identities + Mental Health (or if you were there and want to keep the conversation going), we thought it might be useful to summarize some of the discussion in addition to linking to some useful reading materials and resources. <a href="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/trans-mental-health-event.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/trans-mental-health-event.jpg?w=300&amp;h=225" alt="Trans + Mental Health - event" width="300" height="225" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p>As with all of our roundtables, we reached out to our panel members and asked them to keep some of guiding questions in mind as they shared their stories and examples. Some of these questions included:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Where do the intersections of trans identities and mental health show up for you personally? In the classroom? In your activism? In your peer networks?</li>
    <li>How does stigma against mental illness impact trans people’s experiences seeking support or other mental health services?</li>
    <li>How are the needs of trans people different and/or similar to those of LGB+ people with regard to mental health?</li>
    <li>Why is the intersection of trans identities and mental health a social justice and/or feminist issue?</li>
    </ul>
    <p></p>
    <p>One student panelist, Dan, described his experience with gender identity and mental health using an extended metaphor of a car sitting on top of a messy desk in order to illustrate the difficulty of adequately addressing various ongoing mental health issues that are distinct from — yet often complicated by — issues related to gender identity.</p>
    <p>With only an hour to spend together, there’s still so much more we could have delved into and learned together as a community. Let the work continue! Below are a few articles and resources to help continue doing self-reflection and growth. As a reminder, this is <em><strong>not</strong></em> an exhaustive list so let us know if you recommend other great resources!</p>

    <Title>Intern of the Week: Gabrielle Salib for INDS</Title>
    <Tagline>Learn more about Gabrielle's experience at the PAD!</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><span><p><span><strong>Name: </strong></span><span>Gabrielle Salib</span></p>
          <p><span><strong>Internship, Co-op or Research Site:</strong></span><span> The Prototyping and Design Lab</span></p>
          <p><strong><span>Position Title:</span></strong><span>Undergraduate Research Assistant</span></p>
          <p><span><strong>Major(s)/Minor(s):</strong></span><span>Interdisciplinary Studies</span></p>
          <p><span><span><span><strong>Expected Graduation Year:</strong></span><span>May 2017</span></span></span></p>
          <p><span><strong><em><br></em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span><strong><em>Briefly describe your internship, co-op,  or research opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.</em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span>In the PAD lab, we’re all about making people’s lives better or easier through the use of 3D printing and modeling. My research assistantship involves working with a team of graduate students from the lab, conducting a weekly 3D modeling and printing workshop for elementary school students. As an added challenge, the students we are working with are struggling in more than one area including behavior, academics, attendance, and/or social and emotional well-being.</span></p>
          <p><span>We are currently doing observations of their perceptions of the 3D environment and their experiences interacting with the technology in collaborative ways, in order to assess potential purposes in improving the collaborative, elementary classroom experience</span></p>
          <p><strong><br></strong></p>
          <p><span><strong><em>Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.</em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span>I obtained my research assistantship by first contacting Dr. Amy Hurst about being involved in the lab. She then invited me to attend the PAD lab’s weekly meeting to find a project that I would be most interested in working on and I got started with one of her graduate students Erin Buehler right away!</span></p>
          <p><strong><br></strong></p>
          <p><span><strong><em>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?</em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span>What I've enjoyed most about my position is the exposure to the inevitable intersection of technology and how it affects the people using it!  I find it amazing that through research and proven methods we could improve that interaction to be more effective, yet just as natural as the interactions that we have always had through time.</span></p>
          <p><span>I’ve enjoyed my work on research very much, but I’ve also really enjoyed the community that the lab has created. It’s a place where you can always find someone to talk about a problem with or to learn about opportunities to further your interests. The people in the PAD are the best.</span></p>
          <p><strong><br></strong></p>
          <p><span><strong><em>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span>I believe I've made an impact with my team by interacting with the local community to encourage utilizing new technology to better the classroom experience and exploring the possibilities of customizing their own classroom materials.</span></p>
          <p><strong><br></strong></p>
          <p><span><strong><em>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?</em></strong></span></p>
          <p><span>Advice I would give another student who is seeking a research experience is to keep a keen eye for opportunities and to allow his or herself to be in the position to be involved in activities that he or she is truly passionate in their academic and social lives.</span></p>

    <div class="html-content">Special Collections continues our archival project <strong>Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th</strong>, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present the ASME Ralph Coats Roe Medal that current UMBC president Freeman A. Hrabowski was awarded last year. <div><br></div>

    <div><em>Ralp Coats Roe Medal, 2015. UARC 2015-24, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In November of 2015, President Hrabowski received the Ralph Coats Roe Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The ASME is a global engineering community of over 130,000 members, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and improvement of life through engineering. President Hrabowski received the medal for "his dedicated service as a global advocate for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), engaging the general public, lawmakers, funding agencies and foundations to create opportunities for minorities in STEM fields that will help ensure their future personal and professional success." </div>
