Meet Lily Prokop: Student IT Consultant & Oboist
Technology Support Center is a place for all sorts of majors
The Technology Support Center (TSC) is the first stop in assisting the UMBC community with technology questions and requests. The TSC is made possible thanks to its many student workers, who all have a unique background. Take Lily Prokop for instance, a sophomore majoring in Music Education & Music Performance.
Like many, Prokop applied to the TSC through UMBCworks. Prior to the TSC, she did not have any firsthand knowledge on IT support. “I’ve been working for the TSC for about a year,” said Prokop. “But when I first started, I had no idea what was going on. I was so nervous at answering phones.”
Prokop was determined to change that. She had the drive to get over her nervousness by wanting to answer every phone call that came in. By doing so, she was able to get it down to a point where she didn't have to follow a script or go step-by-step on certain tasks.
“I knew playing oboe would give me an advantage when applying to music schools…”
While not working at the TSC, Prokop enjoys playing music and can play six different instruments. Her favorite one, however, is the oboe. Before high school, she was a big fan of the clarinet but did not know about the oboe. After seeing someone in high school play an oboe, Prokop was inspired her to learn to play it.
“I knew playing oboe would also give me an advantage when applying to music schools [and] college because there aren't many oboe players.” said Prokop.
Those advantages would become apparent. Prokop would be invited to perform as a guest at Carnegie Hall for the Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) and plays wedding gigs in the summer.
“It felt exhilarating to literally watch the sunset as we played…”
For Prokop, performing indoors is usually standard, with only a small handful of opportunities to play outside. That changed when Prokop performed at UMBC’s 50th anniversary with the rest of the UMBC orchestra outside. “I was so proud to represent UMBC,” said Prokop. “It felt exhilarating to literally watch the sunset as we played...playing in that setting to honor UMBC was really wonderful.”
While being a full time student and musical performer, Prokop is also a proud member of Alpha Sigma Alpha, where she participates in fundraisers and other philanthropy efforts. Last semester, Prokop participated in Hula Hoop for Hope. During Hula Hoop for Hope, members all take turns hula hooping for 12 hours. She has also become their main line for tech support as well. “I end up answering people’s tech questions in our group chat.” said Prokop.
Working at the TSC has been a great experience for Prokop, but it’s not a solo effort by any means. It’s a team effort that helps create a welcoming and productive work environment. “The people who work here are pretty cool,” said Prokop. “When customers are walking into the TSC, and there's an issue, I know someone I’m working with will know how to solve something.”
“People are often surprised when they find out I’m a music major who works within DoIT…”
After the TSC, Prokop wants to become a music teacher in Baltimore City. When looking back at her time spent so far at the TSC, Prokop reflects on it being a positive learning experience.
“People are often surprised when they find out I'm a music major who works within DoIT. The TSC has not only given me versatile work experience, but it has also given me confidence in my knowledge of general technology and customer service skills.” said Prokop.

Residential Network Outage Monday Evening
Monday evening around 7:15 pm there was a power outage on part of the campus which caused some of the core switches in the Residential Network to crash and their configuration became corrupted.
This crash took down service to both wired and wireless connectivity within all of the Residence Halls and Apartment Buildings.
Networking staff were able to restore wired connectivity around 10:30pm and wireless connectivity around 11:30pm Monday evening to all residential facilities.
We are looking into the failure of the battery back up unit that is designed to protect the equipment in the event of such outages and we will have it repaired once the campus re-opens after the storm.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me for additional information.
Thank You,
Damian Doyle
Senior Director of Enterprise Infrastructure and Support

Reserve a study room!!
We're trying something new...
The Library is testing a new service allowing students to reserve Study Rooms. We've set aside 6 study rooms on the 3rd floor for this pilot program. To reserve one, use this form or try the touchscreen kiosk near the 3rd floor elevators.
These are the rules we're starting with:
- Reservations are limited to 3 hours per person or group each day.
- Reservations can be made up to five days in advance.
- Although the room is a more private space, please be mindful not to disturb others.
- Clean up the room before you leave.
- Reservations containing inappropriate language may be canceled without warning.
Let us know what you think!
