<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><strong>Name:</strong> Uvonne Andoh </span><br><span><strong>Internship, Co-op or Research Site:</strong> University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Information Systems)</span><br><span><strong>Location of the Organization (City, State):</strong>  Baltimore, MD </span><br><span><strong>Title of Your Position:</strong> Research Assistant</span><br><span><strong>Major(s)/Minor(s):</strong> Management of Aging Services/ pre-physical therapy </span><br><span><strong>Expected Graduation Date (Month &amp; Year):</strong> 2014</span><br><p><strong><span><br></span></strong></p><strong>1. Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research or service-learning position/assignment, including your day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.</strong><br><br>What I do at my internship site includes Learning fundamentals of Assistive Technology and getting hands on experience working with older adults. I have also learned how to design and build 3D prototypes for a 3D printer to explore the possibility of older adults building their own assistive technologies.<br><strong><br>2. What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company and what have you found most challenging?</strong><br><br>I have enjoyed learning 3D modeling and how to use a 3D printer, preparing materials for a focus group with older adults on rapid prototyping and helping run a focus group. I have also enjoyed the assistance gotten from my supervisor Amy Hurst and other students and working as a team. What I found most challenging at first was conducting a “focus group”, I was really nervous and did not know what to expect, but being able to work with Galina Madjaroff I learned a lot from her on how to conduct a focus group with our targeted population being the older adults.<br><br><strong>3. What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another summer activity?</strong><br><br>I have gained the advantage of networking, being a leader and being able to see what my day-to-day of working in my field will be like. Not only do I know how to use a 3D printer, I have been able to design my own object and build it as well as teaching others who have no idea about what 3D printing is and offering a little bit of tutoring on how to use 3D printers.<br><strong><br>4. How do you see your summer work as meaningful? Has it given you a chance to work on issues or with communities that matter to you?</strong><br><br>I see my summer work as meaningful because it has made me to master my skills giving me the advantage on understanding what I would be doing in the future in my field and also being able  to work with others as a team. My internship has given me the chance to visit CharlesTown resident home and conducting a focus group, presenting and explaining the research I have helped with here at UMBC.<br><br><strong>5. How has your summer experience shaped the way you think about your power to impact the world? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve completed.</strong><br><br>My summer experience has shaped me in a way of really understanding the needs of older adults and providing them with assistive technology to help them with their day to day activities. So many times people tend to see older adults as only handicap and incapable of taking care of themselves, but what they don’t know is that they are capable of doing the activities younger people do and are more aware on how to use the latest technologies out there such as Iphones and Ipads. Connecting with people who are interested in incorporating technologies in older adult’s life and me being involved in research has made me have the passion for helping older adults even more. <br><br><br><img src="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/shriver/news/25494/attachments/9273" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br></div>

<Title>Interested in Journalism? Do you want to be a newswriter?</Title>
<Tagline>Then consider applying for City Paper's Editorial Internship</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Interested in learning more about alternative journalism? Then apply for
     a City Paper editorial internship. Their interns don't fetch coffee--they
     help produce the Baltimore area's free alternative newsweekly by 
    fact-checking, conducting research, doing data entry, and writing short 
    pieces for the weekly calendar, with the potential to write longer, more
     involved pieces. To participate, you must be enrolled in an 
    undergraduate or graduate degree program and be able to earn academic 
    credit. All majors are welcome. Internships are available during the 
    fall, winter, spring, and summer semesters. All internships are unpaid. 
    For information on how to apply, email  <a href="mailto:internships@citypaper.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">internships@citypaper.com</a>.

<Title>Paid Summer On-Campus Internships with JCET</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Multiple paid summer research internships are available now in UMBCworks with the UMBC Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology.<br><br>Check out opportunities like:<br><br><strong>Climate Change Research<br></strong>With climate change on the forefront of political and economic debates, it is up to scientists to fill in the gaps in our collective understanding of climate and to be able to effectively communicate those findings to a public audience. Such research supports the factual elements in the ongoing debate.  One key area of interest (and uncertainty) is the measurement of precipitation using satellite remote sensing techniques.  Precipitation, especially snowfall, is notoriously difficult to measure on a global basis using space-based instruments.  The summer student would be actively involved in examining microwave remote sensing data obtained during snowfall events, both recent and historic.    The basic task for the student will be to get a handle on how well our remote sensing methods are working towards improving the general knowledge of falling snow estimation.   There will be a data analysis aspect to this work and a communications aspect to it as well.   <br><br><strong>Vegetation Spectral Bio-Indicators of Photosynthetic Efficiency  <br></strong>Current ecosystem carbon exchange models are limited by a lack of quantitative information on the spatial and temporal variability in photosynthetic uptake, an important physiological and ecological function. To use remote sensing to measure photosynthetic rates we need to develop connections between leaf physiological responses and spectral optical properties. In the proposed research the student will process field measurements of both spectral reflectance and photosynthesis of leaves and plants, examining how both vary diurnally and seasonally, as well as the effects of incident light levels (sun versus shade).   During the summer of 2013 measurements will be collected at field sites in the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center located near Goddard Space Flight Center. Students will spend their time working in our laboratory, and also making limited further spectral measurements.  Students will be responsible for processing the data and developing relationships between the leaf spectral characteristics and rates of photosynthesis.  They would need to have their own transportation.  Students will need to be able to work methodically and independently, processing leaf samples for chemical analysis and using MATLAB and/or statistics packages for data organization and analysis.<strong><br><br>Evaluation of the operational precipitation products using independent rain gauges <br></strong>This internship intends to evaluate the operational precipitation products using independent rain gauges in mid-Atlantic region. there are 17 rain gauges in the Southern Delmarva Peninsula. The internship will include the analysis of the data, creating the rainfall products, running rainfall statistics. The computer programming skills are required for the completion of the program. <br>Expected outcomes:  Both oral and poster presentations are expected. The intern should report daily progress and expect to work 8 hours per working day.<br>Computer Skills: FORTRAN or C++ and/or IDL is recommended. The student may do all the calculations using Matlab. <strong><br><br>STEM Education Intern and Spanish Translation of STEM Education materials<br></strong>An insufficient number of American students are choosing careers in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) to fill the available jobs.  One approach to encourage more students to participate in STEM activities is to provide the curriculum in Spanish.  Students interested in working with JCET faculty on STEM materials for educators and students and/or translating English curriculum into Spanish should apply. The most important qualifications are motivation, organization and punctuality. <strong><br><br>All positions are available on UMBCworks: </strong>Apply by March 31, 2013 for best consideration.<br></div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The summer intern will work within the Analytical Method Development (AMD) group responsible for developing analytical methods and controls for Baxter’s Premix drug products. The AMD group has several “state of the art” instruments including HPLC and UHPLC, SEC/MALS, IC, GC-MS, Head-space GC, CE, and UV-VIS and also equipped with DOE based software for HPLC method optimization. The summer intern will develop analytical methods using these state of the art instruments. Candidates must have strong analytical chemistry and instrumentation background, research focus, and ability to interpret analytical results. Academic background and practical experience with HPLC instruments is highly desirable. The summer intern will gain experience in analytical method development for pharmaceutical industry.<br><br>
    
    <p>Baxter’s U.S. Internship Program provides interns with 12
    weeks of supervised and practical work experience that is directly related to
    their academic studies and career goals. The program averages more than 100
    students each year in areas such as, finance/accounting, engineering,
    information technology, manufacturing, packaging, research and development,
    marketing and regulatory affairs. After completing the Internship Program, many
    interns are hired as full-time employees.</p>
    
    <p><span>At
    Baxter, interns typically will:</span></p>
    
    <p><span><span>·<span>
