Christine Routzahn, director of the Career Center was recently interviewed for the July 2023 Baltimore Sun Education supplement story, "The benefits of experiential learning: Students gain valuable skills while making a difference." Routzahn discussed the Maryland Technology Internship Program (MTIP), which is administered by UMBC and funded by the State of Maryland. MTIP was created to help Maryland retain top tech talent by increasing the number of paid technical internships offered in the state.

States of Becoming is a traveling exhibition curated by Fitsum Shebeshe and produced by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. Independent Curators International (ICI) supports the work of curators to help create stronger art communities through experimentation, collaboration, and international engagement. Curators are arts community leaders and organizers who champion artistic practice, build essential infrastructures and institutions, and generate public engagement with art. ICI's collaborative programs connect curators across generations and across social political and cultural borders. They form an international framework for sharing knowledge and resources and for promoting cultural exchange, access to art, and public awareness of the curator's role. Lead funding is provided by the Hartfield Foundation as part of an initiative to support ICI's commitment to new curatorial voices who will shape the future of the field, and ICI's Curatorial Intensive alumni as they move through the stages of their career. States of Becoming is made possible with the generous support of ICI's Board of Trustees and International Forum. Crozier Fine Arts is the Preferred Art Logistics Partner.
