Don't miss your chance to meet with employers to discuss career and internship opportunities! 

Connect with employers representing a variety of corporate, non-profit and government organizations at the Spring Career & Internship Fair.

140+ organizations will be in one place recruiting UMBC talent.  Open to all UMBC students and alumni!

How can you be successful at the fair?
  • First impressions are important. We strongly encourage all participants to dress in professional, business casual attire and to bring several printed copies of your most up-to-date resume (around 10-15 copies) to share with employers and internship providers during the fair.
  • Make sure your resume shines, check out our resume writing page. Then get your resume critiqued by attending our drop-in hours (M-W, 2-4 p.m.), virtual express appointments (Th-F, 2-4 p.m.), Resume Rescue day (Feb. 15) or scheduling an appointment with the Career Center.
  • Research the employers attending the event in advance and prepare intelligent questions. Check out our Career Fair Directory to learn which employers are attending and what they are recruiting for.
  • Practice your 30-second commercial aka your "pitch". Be sure to check out our micro session: Perfect Your Pitch (30-Second Commercial).

Student/alumni job-seeker registration is NOT required.

Details and a list of registered employers can also be found on Handshake.  Be sure to log in to also see the positions for which they plan to recruit at the event. Employers will be adding positions as the fair approaches, so check back often!

504 and Beyond: Disability Politics and the Black Panther Party

Sami Schalk, Associate Professor, Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Drawing from the book, Black Disability Politics, this talk will detail the Black Panther Party’s involvement in the 1977 504 Sit-in, in which protesters around the country picketed and occupied government offices to urge passage of delayed regulations related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Schalk will discuss the sit-in as an historical example of how Black cultural workers have engaged with disability as a political issue in ways that have sometimes been obscured in Black studies and disability studies alike.

Biography: Dr. Sami Schalk (she/her) is an associate professor of Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction (Duke 2018) and Black Disability Politics (Duke 2022). Dr. Schalk’s academic work focuses on race, disability, and gender in contemporary American literature and culture. She also writes for mainstream outlets, including a monthly column called “Pleasure Practices” in TONE Madison. Dr. Schalk identifies as a fat, Black, queer, disabled femme and a pleasure activist.

This lecture is organized by the Dresher Center for the Humanities.

Co-sponsored by the Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging; and the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services.
