Keep Graduation in Mind!
Create a Long-Term Academic Plan
As you settle on to campus and into your fall classes,it can be challenging to think beyond this semester. But in the spirit of Extra Credit’s mindset of “do more to gain more,” we are here to encourage you that it is never too early to start thinking about progressing toward graduation and how some simple long-term planning can help ensure that you graduate on time!
What exactly is a long-term academic plan? It’s a map of how you will complete ALL your degree requirements- not just those needed for your major. Ideally, you will create a plan that is broken down by semester (including any summer or winter sessions) and include credit totals.
You may think this sounds like a daunting process, but students who carve out time to do this exercise can reap several benefits, including seeing the big picture, ensuring timely graduation, and allowing for greater flexibility...Not to mention, it's a great confidence booster!
This is all about creating a unique plan for YOU and your needs instead of feeling constrained by what’s required. When you don’t have a long-term plan, you risk boxing yourself into a course schedule that doesn’t serve your goals and needs.
So, how do you get started on long-term planning? It’s easy.
Find the Academic Pathway associated with your major (you can also download a blank planning document from this website) in conjunction with the Undergraduate Course Catalog (including requirements for minors and certificates). Use these resources to help determine what classes are needed for your program(s) of study.Note – Academic Pathways are guides intended to show you the order in which to take certain major classes. Each student’s plan will be unique, especially if you entered UMBC with transfer or AP/IB credits.
While creating the plan, utilize your Degree Audit to confirm what degree requirements (including General Education and University requirements) you’ve already completed. You can print off your Degree Audit and “check off” the requirements as you put them into your plan.
Meet with your academic advisor to review the plan and ensure that you did not miss any important requirements.
Bonus - Enter your plan into the Degree Planner on myUMBC to update your Degree Donut
*Want to get ahead, catch up, or lighten your load during the regular academic year? Consider the winter session at UMBC! Course offerings are mostly online for 2024.
Just because you create a long-term plan doesn’t mean it can’t be changed. Ideally, you will bring this plan with you, in whatever format you choose, to each advising appointment so you can make adjustments with your academic advisor as necessary.

The Squirrels Missed You!
Welcome Back, Retrievers!
Take a deep breath and get excited for a new season-- a fresh start.
Fall 2023 is upon us and UMBC is dedicated to supporting you with resources to gear you up for success. Below are some tips as you start the fall semester:
Take care of your emotional and mental well-being. First and foremost, checking in with yourself throughout the semester is essential to prioritizing your health. UMBC invests its resources to support you holistically so you can be the best version of yourself!
The Center for Well-Being is located between Chesapeake and Susquehanna Halls on Center Road. The Center for Well-Being includes Retriever Integrated Health (University Health Services, the Office of Health Promotion, and the Counseling Center); Student Conduct and Community Standards; and the Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being. It also includes the Mind Spa--a student space equipped for the practices of mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation--and an informal student meeting/lounge space.
You can also visit to the Retriever Athletics Center for a workout or facilitated class.
Start strong, finish strong! Review your course syllabuses and Blackboard modules. Be sure you secure all your course materials as soon as possible to stay ahead of the game--this includes double checking technology such as laptop compatibility and Blackboard access. Use your calendar planning tools of choice to track upcoming readings, deadlines, and exams. Blackboard has a built-in feature to check out!
If your semester is off to a rocky start, seek help early and communicate with your professors about any concerns you may be facing. Office hours are usually labeled at the top of your syllabus--use them to notify the professor one-on-one when something is hindering your success.
Proactively seek academic support. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking academic support before you encounter academic difficulty can help provide accountability and a solid foundation for tackling the workload you'll face during the semester. The Academic Success Center offers support services, including appointment and drop-in tutoring, the Writing Center, academic success meetings, and much more.
Perhaps you've had time to reflect over the last year and are considering an alternative academic pathway. Advisors in the Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising (OAPA) welcome the opportunity to discuss your academic plans, including any potential significant changes you are considering.
Connect with other students in a way that feels right to you. Building relationships with your peers provides you with an invaluable support network as you navigate back onto campus.
Are you living on campus? The Office of Residential Life is hosting various programs throughout the semester to build community in your Retriever neighborhood. Are you commuting to campus? There is also programming through the Off Campus Student Services offices that exclusively cater to students on-the-go throughout the week and looking to stay connected to campus life.
Cheers to a fresh start on prioritizing self-care, forming habits conducive to balance and academic success, and ultimately maximizing your time on campus (and virtually) to bridge connections with dedicated resources and vibrant student life.
We hope your semester is a great one!

Intern of the Week: Allie Smith
Check out Allie Smith's Internship with T. Rowe Price
Name: Allie Smith
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: BTA
Current Class Level: Senior
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): T. Rowe Price
Location of the Organization (City, State): Baltimore, MD
Title of position: Intern with the GCAS department
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I interned within the Global Client Account Services (GCAS) department within T. Rowe Price. Within this department I worked in the strategy and planning team, which does a mix of business admin and data management work to support all of GCAS globally. This team aligned perfectly with my BTA major since I was able to do work with both the business side and the technology side. Most of my day to day responsibilities included working on my projects. I can't get into specifics, but I was able to create a best practice guide for social media use for all of GCAS that I was able to present to our London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and North America locations. I also conducted a technology review to determine the tech that GCAS associates have in and out of the office. With this review I was then able to work on a "tech starter pack" for new GCAS associates based on title and level. On the data side I worked on a project with Power BI to create a visual dashboard for managers to get multiple different views of their processes in order to see room for improvement. This is a project that I am still currently working on since my team asked me to stay on until the end of the year.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I heard about the internship positions at T. Rowe from an event that UMBC had. It was towards the beginning of the semester last year, they had an event where T. Rowe employees and previous interns came in to share their experiences and discussed the different internship opportunities. From here I applied online for an internship, and went through a series of online interviews in order to obtain the internship.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Networking events (UMBC Connects, Info Sessions, Arts With a Purpose, etc.)
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
I have enjoyed the networking opportunities because I was able to learn more about T. Rowe and the investment industry through the eyes of different associates with different backgrounds. I also enjoyed that I was given meaningful work and projects where I was able to learn things that related to my major and interests.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I believe that my work has been impactful for the GCAS department because I aided in creating a social media best practices document that is housed on the landing page for all associates to see globally. Also my technology review aided the department so that the lead team is aware of what technology GCAS associates have and gives them a better way of looking at that information. And also through the dashboard that I created, this will be something that GCAS managers will actively use to visualize trends within their processes to see room for improvement. Overall, the work I was given was meaningful and are things that the department will benefit from having.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Don't be scared to apply. I was hesitant at first to apply to an internship within the investment industry because it was an industry I did not have a lot of knowledge on. But I was still able to get this internship with my current interests, and then I was able to learn more about a field I may have never gotten the opportunity to learn about.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Two of the main things that I learned from this internship that I will take with me wherever I go next in my career / education are the importance of continuous learning and the importance of networking and communicating with new people.

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): The Historical Society of Harford County
Location of the Organization (City, State): Bel Air, Maryland
Title of position: Intern Graphic Designer
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
As an intern for the Historical Society of Harford County, I have several responsibilities and tasks to complete throughout the week. On Wednesdays, I meet in person to discuss topics such as creating flyers and social media posts, new signage, and a wide range of other design-related tasks. During the meeting, I lay out a plan of action for what deliverables I will work on for the next 7 days. During this time, I will periodically send updates of designs virtually. After a week has passed, I attend the weekly Wednesday meeting to provide the final designs and proceed to discuss the upcoming week's plan of action.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I found this position through their website over my winter break. They posted that they needed interns, especially a design intern, and I decided to apply. I emailed the director and set up a time to come into their main building for an interview. The interview process was very smooth and I had the chance to provide my graphic design portfolio.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
LinkedIn or other social media
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
What I enjoy most about this position is the experience to practice professional skills and receive helpful feedback. I have had to take a lot of initiative in-order to schedule meetings, set personal deadlines and develop new creative ideas. Overall, this internship is a nice glance into what I will be doing with my degree in the future.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
The biggest impact I've made through this experience is helping engage my community with my designs. The Historical Society of Harford County works to preserve records and artifacts and serves as a way for Harford County residents to learn more about local history. My designs help spread exposure of our resources to members of the community.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
My advice for students seeking internships is to be proactive. Do research on what places nearby might need the help of an intern. Sometimes there will be a place on a company's website about open positions. LinkedIn, Handshake and the Career Center are great tools as well. Overall, do some digging to find an opportunity that is right for you.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
The Career Center has been a huge help with setting foundational guidelines to get the most out of your internship. Don't be afraid to reach out to the Career Center and the additional resources UMBC has to offer.

Intern of the Week: Taylor West
Check out Taylor's internship!
Name: Taylor West
Major: Public Policy
Current Class Level: Doctoral Student
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD)
Title of position: Health Equity Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I am writing a policy analysis for the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) on a mental health policy in Maryland with a health equity focus on one of the 5 Social Determinants of Health.
Day to day responsibilities look like attending meetings related to health policy grants, researching mental health policies in Maryland, and writing the different components of the policy analysis which will be my end product. I love researching mental health policy because it's very personal. Having the opportunity to identify gaps in the literature for my specific problem will be the basis for this policy analysis and potentially my dissertation topic!
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I attended Alternative Spring Break (ASB 2023) where I met the health equity director for Baltimore City that was on one of the panels we attended. I emailed him my interests and he offered to have me as an intern.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Networking events (UMBC Connects, Info Sessions, Arts With a Purpose, etc.).
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
I have enjoyed the freedom to explore policy analysis metrics (political feasibility, timeliness, cost, and effectiveness) through a health equity lens within Maryland and Baltimore City.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I believe I have made an impact by identifying gaps in mental health policy that need to be filled.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would say reach out if you are interested and be optimistic. Also, I would say network as much as possible.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.

Intern of the Week: Zoonash Syed
Check out Zoonash's internship!
Name: Zoonash Syed
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Maryland Office of the Public Defender (MOPD)
Major or Program: Public Health
Current Class Level: Senior
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Some of the responsibilities I am required to do include shadowing attorneys within the office, attending court hearings for cases/trials, reading and organizing cases, as well as reviewing body camera footage in order to help with case preparation.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I knew I wanted to have some sort of legal internship, and decided to ask my peers if they knew of any opportunities. A friend who graduated from UMBC let me know about MOPD, which led me to visit their website and notice that they had applications open for summer 2023 placement. At the time, it was nearing the end of the spring semester, so I applied and ended up getting the position!
How did you find your current experience?
Alumni Networking.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
The attorneys and staff at my office are all amazing, and have taught me so much about the legal field (in terms of public defense work). I've been able to ask many questions so that I can truly gain insight into a potential area of law I'm interested in. I also appreciate that I am allowed to participate in pretty much anything that I may find intriguing, such as specific cases or getting to witness interesting trials.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I was able to provide different perspectives while working as an intern, such as my thoughts on certain cases and the types of arguments one could make (in order to provide different viewpoints for the attorneys I was working with). I also reviewed body camera footage, which helped the attorneys that didn't have enough time to review it themselves (due to the high volume of cases they had on a daily basis).
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
You miss any opportunity you don't take, so always believe in yourself and try!
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
This opportunity gave me a realistic insight into the work life of a defense attorney, which has allowed me to reflect on the possible areas of law I may want to pursue in the future. It's an opportunity that simply can't be replicated through just reading about it online or in a book, and I'm thankful I was able to experience it myself!
