    <div class="html-content"><p>The World Trade Center Institute (WTCI) launched its newest professional
     development program for college students, Global Pathways for Students 
    (GPS).  At this time, WTCI is looking for additional UMBC applicants to 
    apply ASAP.  </p><p><strong>The deadline has been extended to Friday, April 26th.</strong></p><p><span><strong>Students can apply using the following link: </strong></span><a href="http://www.wtci.org/gps/apply/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.wtci.org/gps/apply/</a><span>.</span><br></p><p>

    For more information, an article on the program can be found here 
    highlighting UMBC student Connor Ganley- 
    <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-global-pathways-students-20180516-story.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-global-pathways-students-20180516-story.html</a><br>
    <br>
    Partially funded by visionary founder and former McCormick &amp; Co. 
    executive Jim Albrecht, GPS aims to connect 25 globally-minded college 
    students to international corporations in the region.  <br>
    <br>
    Students should be goal-oriented, professional, open-minded and have a passion for global work.<br>
    <br>
    The GPS Program is designed to prepare Maryland college students for the
     competitive job market upon graduating. By leveraging our vast regional
     network, 25 top students from various universities around the region 
    will have the opportunity to get their foot in the door of nine 
    different globally-minded companies, jumpstarting their professional 
    network. Concurrently, this cohort of students, deemed Albrecht Fellows,
     will strengthen their professional skills through a series of 
    supplemental development workshops. <br>
    By participating in GPS, Albrecht Fellows enhance their network and 
    global knowledge, become more marketable, and increase their likelihood 
    of being hired upon graduation.<br>
     <br><strong>
    Candidate Pre-requisites:</strong><br>
    ·         Must be a rising sophomore, junior, or senior<br>
    ·         Must be able to participate in full 10-day program, from Wednesday, May 29th to Friday, June 7th<br>

  <Title>The attacks in Sri Lanka</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span><br><span><br>Our hearts are heavy as we see the devastating impact of terror attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter morning that left 300 innocent people dead and injured 500 more. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, the first responders, the Sri Lankan community here at UMBC, and all who have been affected by the attacks targeting worshippers in churches as well as guests and staff in hotels serving international visitors.<br><br>We are also aware that many of us continue to be unsettled by previous acts of violence in our state, the nation, and across the world. The most powerful response to this violence is deepening our own humanity by seeking to understand diverse experiences and honoring the benefits such differences bring to our campus and to the world. <br><br>Community members seeking to explore these issues either personally or in community are encouraged to contact <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bj7nrc/nwtbnbb/fuyfxo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">International Education Services</a> at 410-455-2624, the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bj7nrc/nwtbnbb/vmzfxo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mosaic Center</a> at 410-455-2686, or the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/bj7nrc/nwtbnbb/bf0fxo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Counseling Center</a> at 410-455-2472. <br><br><em>President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous</em></span></div>
