  <Title>Happy Monday!</Title>
  <Tagline>First Day of Classes, Finally</Tagline>
  <Body>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p><img src="https://umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/JL-winter2026-IMG_1023-edit-scaled.jpg" alt="snow lines the walkway leading to UMBC's Albin O. Kuhn Library" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>Dear UMBC Community,</p>
    <p>It is my sincere pleasure to finally welcome everyone to the start of spring classes! With this Happy Monday message, I am carrying on the weekly personal reflections I began last fall, and this one is a huge thank-you note. In the wake of a storm that brought significant snow and ice and days of freezing temperatures, UMBC, like most institutions in our area, had to alter plans and work tirelessly to get us to today. </p>
    <p>Thank you to all who played a role—in caring for students, clearing pathways and parking lots, adjusting schedules, and pitching in and adapting in so many ways. I have had the privilege of seeing how you have risen to meet the challenges, and I am profoundly grateful. Happy first day of classes!  </p>
    <p>Sincerely,</p>
    <p><em>President Valerie Sheares Ashby</em></p>

  <Title>Congratulations to Aspire Graduates from Student Affairs!</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
        <div class="html-content">
        <p>Four staff members of Student Affairs were part of the inaugural cohort of <a href="https://hr.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management’s</a> Aspire Program: Emily Aiello, Event and Conference Services, as well as Candida Williams, Patrice Marshall, and Crystal Knight from Retriever Integrated Health. </p>
        <p>Aspire, launched in September 2025, is a semester-long program that provides aspiring leaders – individuals who are not currently supervising staff – with the essential professional competencies and interpersonal skills needed to effectively lead in the future. The cohort-based experience is delivered through a mix of engaging in-person instruction and team coaching. It's a unique opportunity open to all non-supervisory employees past their probationary period who are eager to take the first step on their leadership journey.</p>
        <p>"The ASPIRE program not only taught me about my personal strengths and potential as a leader here, but in connecting me with other colleagues across campus gave me a support group to lean on to reach my goals," said Aiello, "It was also just nice to have a room full of people from across campus with similar goals to me that are also navigating changes in university leadership and and staffing, as well as policies. The support in that room was unmatched. I highly recommend anyone and everyone participate in the program."</p>
