  <Title>Undergraduate researchers win support for international fieldwork on endangered bird species</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Omland-grant-winners-2-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p>Four UMBC undergraduates in <strong>Kevin Omland</strong>’s biological sciences lab have won <a href="https://explorers.org/expeditions/funding/expedition_grants" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Youth Activity Fund Grants</a> from the Explorers Club to support team-based field research on the critically endangered, and largely unstudied, Bahama oriole (<em>Icterus northropi</em>). This species only lives on the remote Andros Island in the Bahamas.</p>
    <p>The Omland lab is internationally known for expertise on oriole genetics and evolution. A major goal of this new research project is to increase awareness of the rare Bahama oriole and promote conservation of endangered wildlife in the Caribbean broadly. Omland’s hope is to not only help the bird population, but also to support sustainable economic development for the island’s residents.</p>
    <p>The project is multifaceted, and the four grant winners reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the research. They include <strong>Alexis Scarselletta ’16</strong> and <strong>Michael Rowley ’18</strong>, biological sciences; <strong>Jennifer Christhilf ’18</strong>, geography and environmental systems; and <strong>Daniel Stonko ’16</strong>, chemistry and biochemistry.<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Omland-grant-winners-1.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Omland-grant-winners-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="Omland grant winners 1" width="720" height="540" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>“Having such a broad range of expertise…will allow us to collect and analyze data from a wider range of resources,” says Rowley. “We all will…learn from each other’s perspectives,” he notes, reflecting that the diverse team-based approach “will really add to the value we take away from the experience as people and as researchers.”</p>
    <p>Rowley also shares that having this opportunity for an intensive undergraduate research experience will have many benefits for his science career. “This experience will make me more desirable to graduate programs,” he says, “but more so, it will allow me to narrow down my understanding of what I want to do with my life.”</p>
    <p>Explorer Club grants support international fieldwork for students from across the United States in a variety of scientific fields. Previously, students in Omland’s lab have won Explorer Club grants for research in Puerto Rico and Mexico. The Omland lab also has a $12,500 grant from the <a href="http://www.speciesconservation.org/case-studies-projects/bahama-oriole/11913" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MBZ Species Conservation Fund</a> dedicated to Bahama oriole research.</p>

  <Title>SGA Senate Passes Just Food Resolution</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>On Monday, April 18th, 2016, the UMBC SGA Senate passed the Just Food resolution that supports the Real Food Campus commitment. Just Food has been working the past two years to establish Real food on campus and is looking to establish a relationship with student government in order to reflect the student voice at UMBC.  </div><div><br></div><div>Real food is defined as local, organic, humane, and fair. Just Food UMBC stances are:</div><div><br></div><div>Purpose: To promote a sustainable and just food system at UMBC by connecting our campus dining to the local agricultural community.</div><div><br></div><div>Goal: By 2020, reallocate 20% of our University food budget to food that is organically grown without harmful chemicals, located within 250 miles of our campus, operate on fair trade agreements, and/or raise and kill animals humanely. Provide students with the agency to work with UMBC dining services to maintain these new standards.</div><div><br></div><div>The national average for campuses for Real food is 3-7%. 20% is negotiable and hinges on the results of the invoice audit. While the earliest the audit could be concluded is the end of Fall 2016, we will also have a helpful estimate through Towson’s team at the end of Spring 2016. Towson is also a Chartwells school. We are hoping with our efforts along with this resolution of student support to aid us in acquiring the dining audit in order to move forward in our goal of 20% Real Food on campus. </div><div><br></div><div>The resolution shows support to Just Food’s initiative and creates solidarity among student body.
