  <Title>Celebrating Jess Myers, Women's Center Director</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Dear UMBC Community,<br><br>It is with mixed emotions that we share that our colleague,
    Jess Myers, Women’s Center Director, will step down from her position on
    February 25.  We will miss her, yet are
    appreciative of the dedication Jess has shown to UMBC and her commitment to
    supporting our community.<br><br>During Jess’ 11 years at UMBC, she has been remarkably
    effective in reaching and supporting students from all backgrounds and working
    collaboratively with faculty, staff and students to advance the work of the
    Women’s Center.  In addition to
    continuing projects hosted by the Women’s Center such as Take Back the Night
    and Rebuilding Manhood, Jess also oversaw the creation and implementation of
    some of their key programs including the Critical Social Justice and the
    Returning Women Student Scholars + Affiliates program for adult learners at
    UMBC.<br><br>Jess has served on numerous workgroups, committees and
    affinity groups including the Provost’s Faculty Caregiver’s Advisory Workgroup,
    Relationship Violence Awareness and Prevention Program, President’s Commission
    for Women, GWST Coordinating Committee, and the LGBTQ Faculty + Staff
    Association. Her outstanding work during the unexpected closure of the YMCA
    Preschool and her support of impacted caregivers and campus leadership is
    widely acknowledged by the campus community. 
    She has worked diligently with Retriever Courage by serving on the
    Implementation Team, co-facilitating University wide training on supporting
    survivors and cultivating a survivor-responsive campus and, most importantly,
    personally supporting survivors during a critical and sensitive time.</p>
    <p>In recognition of her outstanding work and contributions,

    <Title>Intern of the Week: Mohit Patil for Computer Science!</Title>
    <Tagline>Learn about Mohit's Summer 2022 internship with Aptiv!</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <div>
          <strong>Name</strong>: Mohit Patil</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site</strong>: Aptiv</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>Position Title</strong>: Algorithm Developer Intern</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>1. What is your major and class level?</strong></div>
          <div> I am a graduate student at the CSEE Department. My major is Computer Science.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>2. What is your long-term career goal?</strong></div>
          <div>My short-term career goal is to explore a variety of areas and technologies in the field of Computer Science and work towards specializing in the area that I find intriguing. I'd love to establish myself as an expert in one specific field of Computer Science in the long term.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>3. What attracted you to the internship at Aptiv? Why did you apply? </strong></div>
          <div>As I said, I want to explore a variety of areas in the field of Computer Science at this point in my career. The fact that this job opportunity at Aptiv offers exposure to a variety of areas really encouraged me to apply to this internship position at Aptiv. My prime responsibilities will be :</div>
          <div>i) Algorithm development for Sensor Monitoring</div>
          <div>ii) Design, integrate, test, and release software/algorithm to internal and external customers</div>
          <div>iii) Algorithm validation and functional performance improvement in various environments</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>4. What will you be doing as an intern at Aptiv this summer? What skills are you hoping to learn?</strong></div>
          <div>My job designation says "Algorithm Developer Intern". I will be working on the algorithm that enables an automated driving system. I will be working on the data that is gathered by the sensors that locate and steers the vehicle. I am hoping to learn the practical implementation of concepts such as State estimation, Kalman filters, data association and machine learning algorithms. Also, I will be getting hands-on experience with vehicle dynamics, numerical methods, and statistic methods.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>5. Does Aptiv pay for your housing or provide assistance in finding housing since the internship takes place out of state? </strong></div>
          <div>Aptiv does pay you a generous amount as a relocation bonus. Although Aptiv does not help with finding housing for you, they can guide you to the appropriate listings for housing.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>
          <strong>5. What was your application and </strong><strong>interview </strong><strong>process like? </strong>
          </div>
          <div>The application process was quite straightforward. You need to visit their careers page and search for the positions relevant to you. You need to enter the details and upload your resume.</div>
          <div>If they find you to be a fit for the position, the recruiter reaches out to you to schedule an interview. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The interview for me was a three-step interview process. My first two interviews were behavioral interviews. The purpose of these interviews is to help the employers understand how you have performed and behaved in the past in both positive and negative situations. They also make sure whether you are a cultural fit for the company. My last interview was a technical one. The interviewers were the team with which I would be working. I was asked technical questions corresponding to the job role and my past experience with the tech stack that they use.</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div><strong>6. What are you most looking forward to interning at Aptiv this summer? </strong></div>
          <div>I am looking forward to extracting as much knowledge as I can from my interning experience at Aptiv. Also, I am really excited about working in a team environment which would be a great experience altogether.</div>

    <h5>Impact of the Pandemic on Women's Work and Wellbeing</h5>
    <p>Dr.
     Mason, President and CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research 
    in 2019, is the youngest person to head up an inside-the-beltway think 
    tank, and she is one of the few women of color to do so. Her two decades
     of research has focused on economic security, poverty, racial equity, 
    and political participation among women, and communities of color. Under
     her leadership, the Institute has been a leading source of empirical 
    data on the impacts of the pandemic of women’s labor force 
    participation, economic insecurity, and overall well-being. Dr. Mason’s 
    talk will focus on the pandemic recession, which she has labeled a 
    ‘she-cession.’</p>
