    <Title>Global Game Jam at UMBC, January 29-31</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <p>UMBC will be the Baltimore site for the <a href="http://www.globalgamejam.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Global Game Jam</a>. This is a 48 hour event, where teams from around the globe will work to each develop a complete game over one weekend. Last year, the UMBC site fielded five teams as one of 54 sites in 23 countries. This year promises to be even bigger, with 124 sites in 34 countries.</p>
          <p>The Baltimore site and open to participants at all skill levels. It is not necessary to be a UMBC student to register. Thanks to generous support by <a href="http://www.nextcentury.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Next Century </a>, there is no registration fee for the Baltimore site, but you must register for this site in advance at <a href="http://www.globalgamejam.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.globalgamejam.org</a>.  The jam will start at 5PM on Friday, January 29th in the UMBC GAIM lab, room 005a in the ITE building. At that time, the theme for this year’s games will be announced, and we’ll brainstorm game ideas and form into teams. Teams will have until 3pm on Sunday, January 31st to develop their games. We’ll have demos of each game and selection of local awards, wrapping up by 5pm Sunday.</p>
          <p>Last year’s theme was “As long as we’re together there will always be problems”, and we had games developed using a combination of XNA, Flash, Maya, Photoshop, and the Unity Engine.</p>

          <div>
          <span>A: </span><span><em>Most memorable thing that I learned in college</em>:</span><span>  I received my undergraduate degree at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.  Before I left for school my freshman year, I remember my dad telling me that most of my learning would take place outside of the classroom (but, he cautioned, I still needed to go to classes and do my homework).  It turned out he was right, on both fronts.  Throughout my time in college, I took service-learning classes that challenged me to take the theory from our texts and apply it to what I was learning through my service.  I also participated in service immersion trips where we traveled outside of the Philly area to volunteer and learn about the social issues facing other communities.  These activities are my most memorable ones from life as an undergrad because they made me think about things in a new way.  Now, life has come full circle and I am helping to facilitate these service experiences for students here on this campus.  UMBC has the same great opportunities available through programs like Service-Learning (The Shriver Center) and Alternative School Breaks (The Office of Student Life).<em> </em></span>
          </div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span><em>Most memorable thing that I have learned at UMBC</em>:  In addition to working in The Shriver Center, I am also a part-time graduate student in the MA Teaching program here at UMBC.  As a grad student, I have realized three important things that I never quite took the time to learn years ago:  1) Figure out your work and study style, and stick to it.  2) Anything worth doing is worth doing well.  3) Success in school is as much about good grades as it is about participating in your own learning.  Take part in class discussions, challenge ideas, and learn from others.    <strong> </strong></span></div>
          <div>

          <span>A: Project Runway.  I learned to sew in 6<sup>th</sup> grade and I love watching the designers draw inspiration for their collections from such random items as grocery store produce and mop tops.</span><span> <strong> </strong></span>

          <span>A:  Last year, I served as a Learning Partner for the Day in the Life poverty awareness activity through the Alternative School Breaks program here at UMBC.  At the end of the day, we had to explore possible forms of “shelter” here on campus.  Much to my surprise, the students in our group introduced me to the underground tunnels that run between several campus buildings.  It was like stepping into a new portal</span><span><span>!</span><strong><br>
