          <div class="html-content">UMBC undergraduate Achsah Joseph is studying Northern Uganda's peace-building plans created by the Acholi chiefs.   Achsah found that the Strategic Plan's success is based on traditional Acholi
           culture but many modifications need to be made in order to address 
          the needs of the  younger Acholi population. Hear about her work at URCAD. She will speak on Wednesday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the UC Ballroom.<br><br><br></div>

    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><strong>Hometown: </strong></span><span>Millersville, MD</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><strong>Q: How long have you been at UMBC?</strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A: </span><span>This is my 6th semester at UMBC</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><strong>Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?</strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A:</span><span> </span><span>I am the Service-Learning Intern for the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS). I'm also secretary of the Equestrian Club, which not many people realize we have.</span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><strong>Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?</strong> </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A: </span><span>I encourage students to get involved in service-learning, especially at BARCS.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><strong>Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?</strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A: </span><span>I enjoy knowing that I was able to create an intern position for BARCS, and that because of that more UMBC students are able to get involved in volunteering there. BARCS is doing a lot of great work to improve the welfare of animals in Baltimore City, and I like knowing that I'm helping them do that by bringing volunteers there. I also really really like getting to spend my Saturdays playing with dogs. It's an incredible mood booster.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><strong>Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A: </span><span>I have learned a lot about stepping outside of my comfort zone. I'm kind of an introvert, and getting involved in things at UMBC has helped me deal with that. </span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><span><strong>Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A:  </span><span>Pitbull Terriers and anyone working to improve their image/prevent Breed Specific Legislation from being passed.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span><strong>Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span>A: </span><span>My favorite spot on campus is definitely the floor I live on (the Shriver LLC). I love living with people who are very service-minded. I also like the sense of community I get living there, everyone seems to know everyone and we hang out a lot. And our RA, Brian Stevens, is probably the best RA on campus. Just saying. </span></span></div><div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div><div><span><span>Note: </span><span>The photo is of me and a </span><span>BARCS dog named Paprika, who has since been adopted. It was taken by Steve Harmon,who volunteers at BARCS.</span></span></div></div></div></div><div></div></div>

After clicking on the "My Library Account" link you will be taken to a page to select your campus.  Scroll to the bottom of the list to select "Other" - DO NOT select UMBC.<br>
