UMBC's first pep rally occurred in November of 1967, just a little over a year after the campus first opened. The rally was deemed a success, having brought in "one of the biggest crowds of any school-time event th[at] year" with over five hundred people gathered in the gym to participate (The Retriever, Volume 2, Number 12: page 4). The UMBC cheerleaders helped to lead the rally and boost the crowd's spirits by introducing the team and the Retriever mascot, then referred to as Sam. Hosting this pep rally was one of the university's early plans to foster a renewed sense of school spirit on campus as well as increase student support at the university's basketball games.

Our Summer Internship Program offers an opportunity for college and university students to gain work experience in a wide variety of disciplines. Interns learn firsthand about the historic artifacts and archival materials housed in the Museum and study the scientific and technological advances they represent.

Each year, positions are available in a variety of Museum areas such as aircraft restoration, aviation or space history, planetary science, collections management, web and new media, exhibit and graphic design, public relations, budget and finance, architecture and engineering, and education. Students from all fields of study are encouraged to apply.

Location and Schedule
Many interns work in the Museum in Washington, DC, but others work at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, or the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland. A commitment of 10 weeks during the summer is required. Full-time interns work 40 hours per week beginning the first week in June until the second week in August.

Stipend and Housing
A $5,500 stipend is provided to help interns defray expenses. Information on lodging options is provided upon selection as an intern, but interns are responsible for locating and securing lodging.

Eligibility
To be considered for a summer internship, you must be a high school graduate and be enrolled in a degree-granting undergraduate or graduate program at an accredited college or university. You are expected to have a strong academic record. Applicants from outside the U.S. are welcome! More information for international interns is available on the intern orientation website.

How to Apply 
Applications are accepted from January 15 to February 15 during the calendar year of the internship. Interns are notified of the status of their application by April 1. Visit the Smithsonian Online Academic Appointment System (SOLAA) website to apply.

Apply by December 1
Hello Retrievers!

The Writing Center is currently recruiting strong writers from any discipline to become writing tutors! Becoming a writing tutor is a great way to help fellow students succeed, to refine your own writing skills, and to make some extra money on campus in a fun, relaxed environment. UMBC's Writing Center, located on the first floor of the AOK Library, serves all UMBC students who are seeking writing tutoring for any class. 

Tutoring writing is a wonderful experience, but it's also a serious commitment, so there are a few steps you'll need to take if you're interested in joining the Writing Center staff. First, you'll need to submit a resume, a brief statement of interest explaining why you would like to work in the Writing Center, and two writing samples totaling at least 8 pages. You can email me the materials, or you can place them in my mailbox in the English Department on the 4th floor of the PAHB ASAP. Once I have read your materials, I may ask to set up a brief interview with you. If you're a strong candidate, I'll give you permission to enroll in English 321, which will be held this coming spring from 5:30-6:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays. English 321 is a four-credit course that offers you internship credit. The course will teach you how to tutor writing effectively, and about halfway through, you'll begin interning in the Writing Center with an experienced mentor. Upon successful completion of the course, you'll receive CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association) Level 1 certification, and you'll be eligible to be hired as a tutor by the Learning Resources Center. Pay currently begins at $8.75 an hour. Later, if you choose to pursue CRLA Level 2 or Level 3 status, you may be eligible to receive a raise.

You must plan to attend UMBC and work in the Writing Center the semester after you complete the tutoring course. If you plan to study abroad or take a leave of absence, please let me know, so that we can work out a time when it's more practical for you to take the course.

I would love to hire as many dedicated tutors as possible, but space is limited, so the application process is competitive. If you are interested, please act quickly and submit your best work. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know! 

 

Best,

Anissa Sorokin

Writing Center Director, UMBC

"Student Action Party Hagy For President" pin. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

Darryl Hagy was UMBC's second Student Government Association president.  As a member of the Student Action Party, Hagy was passionate about getting UMBC students engaged in activism and social change. For instance, he formed the College Council on Human Relations, an innovative committee focused on service learning and community involvement. During his SGA presidency, the UMBC campus also organized an event in correspondence with the National Time-Out Day in Fall of 1968 called a "Bitch-In." The campus stopped classes for the day and invited students to discuss and speak out on topics like cooperative housing, fraternities, racism, and student power.
