Reasons could include having a strong interest in global issues, already coming from an international background, wanting to study broader topics in addition to international affairs, or enjoying the interdisciplinary nature of the program due to not knowing what career to pursue. These interviews can be done individually, in pairs, or in small groups. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Study Abroad Spotlight</strong> - For GLBL students who have already completed or are completing their study abroad. This can be an opportunity to share where you went, what you learned, your most valuable experiences abroad, and/or advice on studying abroad.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Student Spotlight </strong>- An opportunity for all students to share a rewarding experience they have done or are currently taking part in. This could include an internship, research, volunteering, on campus-activities, etc. </div><div><br></div><div><h6><u><strong>Please use the following <a href="https://forms.gle/8Z7TAGen55z9H79w5" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">LINK</a> to submit your interest. </strong></u></h6><br></div><div>Thank you and we look forward to highlighting all of our amazing GLBL students!</div></div>

    <Title>Exciting updates and games this Friday!</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">Happy Monday oSTEM! The e-board has some exciting announcements for you.<br><br>First, we will be hosting virtual meetings on Discord every other Friday, 7-9 pm, starting this week. Because the entire e-board are commuters, this is a way we can have regular programming in addition to our in-person events. We welcome members to join for 10 minutes, 2 hours, or anything in between, as this will be a space to build connections and learn more about oSTEM. This week, we plan to play Jackbox and a few other games.  We hope to see you then! <br><br>Here is a temporary invite to the <a href="https://discord.gg/uhCpN3uU" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Discord</a>. The invite can also be found on the home page in the right panel. <br><br>Second, oSTEM is now an official chapter! Questions and comments can still be sent to the current officer team emails, but we recommend starting to use <a href="mailto:umbc@chapters.ostem.org">umbc@chapters.ostem.org</a>, as this email will remain unchanged between leadership changes. 
          (Speaking of, we will be looking for new leadership in the spring as we grow and seniors graduate.)
          We hope to have some official pins and buttons sent soon to distribute at events- so stay tuned. <br><br>Finally, we have a QueersGiving collaboration in the works. We're hoping to incorporate a clothes swap. Tentative date is Nov 19th, 3-8 pm. Stay tuned for more details.</div>
