The internship commitment is 30 hours per week for 4 weeks during Summer Session One (Monday - Friday, 9:30 am - 4:00 pm from Tuesday, May 31 – Friday, June 24).
Open to all majors, this is an excellent opportunity for students in STEM fields to learn to tell effective stories and for students in social science and humanities fields to gain research and technical skills. Interdisciplinary teams will integrate narrative-based research and professional skills to create effective stories about UMBC’s campus, our larger communities, and our lives. Participants receive a $3000 stipend and a scholarship for a 3-credit internship course. At the conclusion of the project, participants will receive a letter describing their contributions, which they can list on their resumes. Additionally, they have an opportunity to earn a Digital Badge in Interdisciplinary Collaboration.
