Role at the UMBC Career Center: I am the Social Media Intern at the Career Center. I essentially make sure all important career related events are up to date on the Career Center's myumbc group. I also post about career events, job and internship opportunities, as well as create social media content for the Career Center's Facebook and Twitter accounts. I also highlight important career tips that students can benefit from as well as highlighting student achievement by sharing "Intern of the Week" content on social media.

Major: Media and Communication Studies

Minor: American Studies

How did you choose your major?

I want to do something with journalism, I love blogging, and I am interested in being a reporter so for me, MCS was the closest major that relates to my career interests.

Tell me about the job and internship process. Were you able to find job/internship positions that are related to your major or your career interests?

Besides working at the Career Center, I had the chance to work for a non-profit in Baltimore called Art With a Heart this past summer.  I'm currently looking for part-time internship opportunities before I graduate, but I am also in the process of looking for a full-time job (*fingers crossed*).

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." – Steve Jobs

Finally, talk about the Career Center and what it has to offer? What has been most beneficial to you?

The Career Center has resources to help students with their internship and job search.  I encourage students, especially freshman, to get a head start and meet with a career advisor if you are unsure about your career interests. Going to career events has given me a better understanding of how recruiters hire candidates. Plus, I go in to have my resume/cover letter reviewed (which takes a long time to complete if you decide to do it on your own).

What is your favorite aspect about UMBC?

I like that UMBC is not too big but not too small of a campus, we are tight-knit community. UMBC is also diverse and it’s great getting to see and meet new people every semester.

What is one item on your bucket list?

Getting the chance to scuba dive in the city of Okinawa in Japan (long story here)!

What is one aspect of the DC/Baltimore area that you often explore?

I live close to DC and I love going to see the Cherry Blossoms in the spring. Plus, I like getting DC cupcakes from Georgetown, they are great!

Entering its ninth year, the Amgen-UROP Scholars Program invites undergraduates to participate in faculty-mentored summer research at MIT in the science and biotechnology areas.

Students admitted to this program (known as "Amgen Scholars") will have opportunities to conduct research, analyze data, present research results, network with other undergraduates with similar research interests, and develop working relationships with MIT faculty mentors and other research staff.

Participation has many benefits. Amgen Scholars learn how to collaborate effectively in research settings while investigating areas of research interest within a specific discipline and gaining practical skills and knowledge for both graduate study and post-graduation careers. Participants become fully integrated in MIT's summer research community, interacting with faculty mentors and fellow undergraduates while participating in research seminars and other networking events. Most importantly, Amgen Scholars become involved in exciting research and contribute to the advancement of science in an area of interest.

The Program also offers a competitive compensation package. Amgen Scholars working 40 hours per week for the nine week period will earn $4,320, based on an hourly wage of $12.00. Housing in a designated MIT residence hall and a $800 food allowance will also be provided.

Space in the the Amgen-UROP Scholars Program is limited; up to 20 undergraduates will be admitted for Summer 2015.

UMBC Professors Nilanjan Banerjee and Ryan Robucci were recently featured in a video developed by Microsoft Research. The video showcases Banerjee, Robucci, and UMB professor Sandra McCombe Waller, as they discuss the application of Microsoft’s Lab of Things to the team’s wearable sensing system project. (The Lab of Things is Microsoft’s home automation tool.)

In addition, the video features Arjmand Samuel, Senior Research Manager for Microsoft Research, and Buz Chmielewski, a partial quadriplegic who served as a patient and consultant for the project. UMBC Professor Chintan Patel, not featured in the video, was also involved with this project.

The team’s wearable sensing system project is an example of an inter-disciplinary collaboration between the medical school at UMB, and UMBC’s computer science and computer engineering departments.

Harry Shum, the Executive Vice President of Microsoft, mentioned this project as the next big thing in his keynote address at the 2014 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit.
