Historian Candidate Added!
We are excited to share with you our officer candidates for the Wisdom Weaver Student Interest group for the 2024-2025 year.
Our candidates are running uncontested. Should you have any objections to these candidates please make your concern known to Professor Lauren Price by Friday May 17th via email at
Laprice@umbc.edu. Thank You!
Nidhi Lad, Co-President: My name is Nidhi Lad, I served as Co-President of Wisdom Weavers during the 2023-2024 school year. As one of the co-presidents of Wisdom Weavers, I am continually inspired by our club’s dedication to challenging ageism and fostering meaningful intergenerational relationships. This cause is close to my heart because aging is a universal journey—stereotypes or misconceptions shouldn’t mar it. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have gained with Wisdom Weavers and cannot wait for what the next school year has in store. This experience correlates with my academic pursuits and personal interests as I am a public health and biology major on the pre-optometry track. I have a passion and drive for providing care and fostering new relationships and Wisdom Weavers has complimented this passion. With the leadership skills I've gained at Wisdom Weavers, I am committed to making a meaningful impact that transcends generational boundaries and fosters a more inclusive society.
Kanza Ahmad, Co President: Hello, I am Kanza Ahmad, a senior at UMBC studying Biology with a minor in Health, Wellness, and Aging. The objectives set by Wisdom Weavers have motivated my involvement in the group, as I am committed to giving back to older adults in our community, especially by sharing knowledge about aging. Currently, I am an activity coordinator at a local assisted living facility, where I interact regularly with older adults. The residents enjoy activities like puzzles, dog therapy, and crafts, but Bingo is always the popular choice! My involvement includes past roles on the board and participation in engaging initiatives such as the Holiday Card Campaign, Paint n' Sip, and the Alzheimer's Walk. Together with my peers, I hope to play an active role in the ongoing growth of this wonderful group!
Sohna Sallah, Secretary: Hi! My name is Sohna Sallah and I am currently a sophomore biology major. I’m also pursuing nursing and fun fact, I like to sing. I am running for the position of Secretary for the Wisdom Weavers because I have been looking for a way to get more involved with this club! I think that the Wisdom Weavers is a club with a very great mission and I would really like to be a part of it and to participate in the outreach associated with it. I enjoy helping others and being a part of opportunities to support my community. I hope to be considered for this position to meet new people, build lasting connections and both contribute to and promote the success of this club!
Abigail Derbie, Treasurer: Hello everyone, my name is Abigail Derbie, and I am a Public Health major. I am applying for Treasurer in the Wisdom Weavers Club. As someone deeply passionate about making a positive difference in our community, I've been eagerly seeking opportunities to get involved in a club that directly impacts the lives of others. My genuine concern for the well-being of others, especially the elderly, motivates me to actively seek opportunities to provide support and assistance where it's needed most. The prospect of joining Wisdom Weavers excites me greatly because it aligns perfectly with my values and aspirations. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about the chance to not only contribute to the club's mission of aiding the elderly but also to learn from their wisdom and experiences. Becoming Treasurer for Wisdom Weavers presents an incredible opportunity to channel my passion for service, ensuring that our efforts are not only impactful but also sustainable in the long run. I can't wait to work with other members and leverage our combined abilities to really impact both Wisdom Weavers and the lives of the senior citizens we serve.
Teju Datla, Historian: Hello, my name is Teju Datla and I am currently a junior at UMBC pursuing a Biology major and a Chemistry minor. I am extremely passionate about Wisdom Weaver’s mission of connecting with elderly members, spreading awareness about aging, and supporting the community. Personally I believe we have a lot to learn from elderly individuals in our community, and the invaluable stories and wisdom they can offer hold immense value. I would love to have a more involved role within the group which is why I am running for historian. I see this as an opportunity to document the club’s journey and actively contribute to preserving our experiences. I look forward to playing a hands-on role within Wisdom Weavers and working towards the purpose of this phenomenal organization!

Intern of the Week: Olapeju Otusajo
Check out Olapeju's internship!
Name: Olapeju Otusajo
Pronouns: She/Her
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Information Systems
Current Class Level: Junior
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Location of the Organization (City, State): Columbus, Ohio
Title of position: AI & Data Science Fellow
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Last summer, I worked as an AI & Data Science fellow at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. The program was created for sophomore students interested in getting acclimated to the corporate world of financial services. I spent six weeks in J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s Columbus, Ohio office from late May to early August. During the first three weeks of the program, we were able to hear from a series of guest speakers, including CEO Jamie Dimon, who shared their insights on topics like imposter syndrome, having a growth mindset, and the importance of networking. I had the opportunity to receive advice from industry professionals who had once been in my shoes and to learn how to make the most of any opportunity I faced. Additionally, we acquired valuable technical skills to prepare us for our function-specific tasks, such as Excel, Python, and SQL.
I had the chance to strengthen my User Experience design skills during this time as well. We were given the task of creating a business proposal that would help boost efficiency for one of J.P. Morgan Chase’s minority depository institutions (MDIs). Alongside 3 other interns, I assisted in the creation of a 20-slide presentation that included UX wireframes and visual media, which we later presented to the MDI representatives. We received very positive feedback from the panel and interest in the possible implementation of our AI virtual assistant product.
During the next three weeks of the program, we were split into our business functions. Another AI & Data Science intern and I were placed under the direction of a product management team that created an internal data retrieval algorithm, enabling bankers and other JPMC personnel to pull client information more quickly and efficiently. I participated in meetings and assisted my manager with the necessary research for the product. Additionally, I experimented with data visualization models to demonstrate the progress of the product to stakeholders. My internship concluded with a final group project with 3 other interns, where we used Python and SQL to complete a case study showcasing what we had learned over the summer.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I learned about this opportunity while searching through Handshake for internship opportunities. I had been checking in every few days to find new listings and updates for companies that interested me. In late January of 2023, I received an invitation to an exclusive virtual event by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. entitled, "Advancing Black Pathways / Advancing Hispanics & Latinos Fellowships Info Sessions." I was unfamiliar with this program at the time, so I found it beneficial to attend and learn more. I was able to hear from J.P. Morgan professionals and individuals who have completed the program. The Advancing Black Pathways (ABP) program aligned with my career interests and seemed like a great way to gain industry experience. After attending the session, I decided to apply. I reviewed the available positions and decided to try my luck with the AI & Data Science position, given my interest in the field after researching it in some of my IS classes. A few days after I submitted my application, I received a request to complete a video interview. It was a short, 15-minute HigherVue assessment that focused on getting to know you as a candidate and your interests in the position. Two months later, in March, I was invited to a Super-Day interview. The Super-Day setup consisted of two back-to-back 30-minute interviews with 3-4 J.P. Morgan employees specific to the function for which you applied. I ended up doing pretty well during the interview and received an offer three weeks later.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Handshake, LinkedIn or other social media
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
What I enjoyed most about my internship was the opportunity to learn from those around me. I wanted to take advantage of the chance I had to speak with professionals in the industry who work in roles that interest me. I gained much more clarity about my career interests when hearing about the day-to-day responsibilities of the role. I asked many questions that revealed aspects of the job expectations that I wouldn't have been able to discern from a simple job description. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. was a great company to gain industry experience with, and I truly encourage the push for professional growth. I appreciated being encouraged to explore different fields that interested me. At times, it felt like I was experiencing three internships in one. For instance, while at JPMC, I was paired with a mentor whom I met with weekly. During one of our meetings, I expressed my interest in User Experience design. My mentor then connected me with another JPMC professional who worked in that field. I learned about the projects she was involved in and the tools she used to create her designs. This experience prompted me to seek out courses and resources to further develop those skills and prepare for my future career. I still maintain contact with her to this day, and she has been instrumental in helping me progress towards becoming a great UX designer.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
While shadowing a team of product managers, I spent a lot of time hearing about possible solutions and approaches to solving the projects they were working on. My manager was involved in a project that required creating an algorithm to search the internet for specific information about thousands of potential clients. This algorithm aimed to collect information such as company name, stock value, location, organizational chart, etc., which would then be compiled into profiles stored in the company’s internal employee resource portal. The sources of this information were chosen based on their perceived reliability and value to JPMC. However, I found this approach inefficient because while a company might be valuable to JPMC in terms of business value, it might not provide the most reliable financial data. This could lead to inefficiencies due to the time taken to fill out the profiles. I suggested that only certain sources with a high rate of reliability should be used to retrieve data. I was then asked to share more about an alternative solution, which I pitched to the team for their consideration. The concept of incorporating multiple procedures for procuring information was implemented into the algorithm to enhance data retrieval effectiveness. Witnessing my idea evolve into a project requirement was incredibly rewarding. Additionally, I made valuable contributions during meetings by sharing my insights. As a new team member, I brought a fresh perspective to a team that had been developing a product for some time, identifying pain points that may not have been previously considered. Even if my ideas were not always implemented, I still facilitated meaningful conversations and provided insights to be considered in the future.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Make sure to reflect on your career interests first. What do you want to spend your summer doing? What companies are you interested in? One mistake that I made during my job search was applying to any and all internships that I saw were hiring, even to positions I didn’t care for just to get the internship experience. I thought that this method of applying everywhere and crossing my fingers was the most effective, but now I know that narrowing down your search will yield more quality results. The strongest applicants are those who have a true passion or interest in the field they are applying to. This way, when you get to that interview stage, you'll have a lot to speak about and your genuine enthusiasm will shine through. Once you find that field that makes you want to learn more about it, research the skills required to excel in the area. It will be a proactive way to get an early start on the application process and passively prepare for interviews. Before submitting your application, if possible, prepare yourself to be a competitive applicant. Take on leadership roles in on-campus clubs or organizations, look for part-time opportunities that relate to your career goals, and explore on-campus research that piques your interest. These are all resume boosters that can demonstrate your drive and initiative, qualities that recruiters are looking for. These tips will help you submit stronger applications that are more likely to land you the role you are seeking.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
The career center helped me prepare my application by providing free resume workshops and review services. I used the online resume guide to understand the qualities of a strong resume and the common mistakes that could potentially hold me back.

Hey CyberDawgs,
ROOM CHANGE: ENG 231
Sorry for the late notification. But I just wanted to remind everyone that the End of Semester Celebration is still on for tonight from 7:10 to 9:00PM. However, we will be in ENG 231 for tonight, since we can't eat in ITE 231. We will have free Pizza and Drinks! As well as a chance to hang out and play games.
Unfortunately, the prizes did not come in time for tonight, but we will still be announcing the winners of the CyberPaws CTF and the Raffle. We will communicate with the winners to get them to you.
We also will be celebrating graduating members of the Cyber Competition Team and Club by sending them off with graduation cords.
There will be no Webex for tonight, so if you can make in person, try to make it out!
Kind Regards,
William Brooks
CyberDawgs President

Take the Campus Climate Survey Today!
The 2024 Campus Climate Survey was launched! Information gathered from the survey will be used to inform our ongoing education, prevention, and response work, and is an important component in campus-wide efforts to stop, prevent, and remedy the effects of sexual misconduct at UMBC.
All students who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten $25 UMBC Bookstore gift cards.
You can access the online survey here. The survey will be open from Thursday, May 2, 2024 until Thursday, May 16, 2024 and will take about 15-25 minutes to complete.
This survey is anonymous and confidential. After completing the Campus Climate Survey, you will be prompted to enter your name and email address in a separate voluntary survey to enter for a chance to win one of the gift cards.
Content note: This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears before and after the survey and is available on the ECR website.
Thank you in advance for your participation!

Exciting New Selected Topics Course Fall '24!!!!
Poli 489-03 Pakistan: Politics and International Affairs
POLI 489-03
Selected Topics in International Relations
Pakistan: Politics and International Affairs
Professor Devin Hagerty
This course is an in-depth seminar on Pakistan’s domestic politics and foreign affairs since 1947. We'll begin our coverage by examining the position of South Asia’s Muslims during the British Raj. Next, our journey will take us through the movement for "Pakistan," the partition and independence of India and Pakistan, the uneven course of democratization, two India-Pakistan wars over Kashmir, the 1971 Bangladesh wars (civil and international), the rise and fall of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in the 1970s, military rule under General Zia ul-Haq in the 1980s, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, unstable democracy in the 1990s, the return of military rule and 9/11, the U.S. war in Afghanistan, Islamist radicalism and the Army’s crackdown on the "Pakistani Taliban," and Imran Khan and the evolution of today’s so-called "hybrid democracy."
Why study Pakistan? With 240 million people, Pakistan has the world’s 5th largest population and 6th largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. Bordering Afghanistan, China, India, and Iran, the country is situated in one of the world’s most volatile regions. Of the 49 Muslim-majority states around the globe, Pakistan has the longest history of trying to sustain democracy. Political development in Pakistan has also featured efforts to infuse governance with elements of Islamic law. The country’s attempts to promote economic development have been disappointing. In the early 1960s, Pakistan's economy was considered on par with that of South Korea. Today, South Korea’s per-capita GDP is over $34,000 per year, while Pakistan’s languishes at $1,461 per year, far behind every other South Asian country except Nepal and war-ravaged Afghanistan.
Pakistan is especially interesting from the standpoint of international and human security. Its ongoing strategic competition with a nuclear-armed India, history of terrorism, decades-long pivotal role in Afghanistan’s civil and international wars, and growing susceptibility to the severe security effects of the climate crisis make it a crucially important country to study in terms of the 21st century’s most challenging security issues. For this reason, upon request, Dr. Hagerty will approve the course for Security Studies (SEST) certificate credit.
To ensure that students are prepared for the demands of a 400-level seminar with a substantial research component,
instructor permission is required to enroll. Please email Dr. Hagerty (
dhagerty@umbc.edu) so he can review your transcript and other preparation for the course.
