Expansion of MTIP featured in technical.ly Program administered by UMBC’s Career Center

The recent expansion of the Maryland Technology Internship Program (MTIP), administered by UMBC’s Career Center, was featured in the May 22, 2024 technical.y article, “Major state funding boost means more Maryland college students can get tech internships.” 

Created in 2018, MTIP provides funds for Maryland technology-based businesses, as well as state and local agencies,  to hire interns from colleges across the state, and recently received a $700,000 investment from the state. It also serves as a pipeline to keep tech talent in Maryland. The technical.y article includes information about MTIP, and that the investment " … will allow UMBC to double the program year’s offerings, starting with internships this summer. Before this funding, which kicks in on July 1, the number of internships averaged 160 per year. Now, 300 internships are expected. This funding, on top of a current base budget of $365,000, will make MTIP a $1 million-a-year program."

In addition to speaking with MTIP interns, the article includes an interview with Jen Spencer Heilman, the Career Center’s program director for workforce initiatives; Vamshi Krishna Ginna, M.S. '24, computer science; and Jake Weissmann, the associate vice president for government relations and community affairs, who noted that, “An infusion of cash into this program is just a real sign of faith from the governor and hopefully shows both the opportunity and longevity of the program.”

The MTIP expansion was also the subject of a May 22, 2024 UMBC News article, “UMBC-run program will support twice as many tech internships this summer,” and includes interviews with UMBC President Valerie Sheares Ashby; Spencer Heilman; Courtney Cavin '22, M.S. '23, chemical engineering; and Mustafa Al-Adhami, M.S. '15, Ph.D. '20.

Earlier this year, the Career Center's Christine Routzahn, director, and Spencer Heilman wrote a guest commentary for Maryland Matters, entitled, "Supporting Md.'s technology growth, innovation, and talent retention by increasing paid technical internships." The March 4, 2024 article focused on the success of the MTIP program.

An illustration of a diverse group of people celebrating Pride Month under a rainbow-colored banner. Individuals represent a range of disabilities, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations.June marks National LGBTQ+ Pride Month and offers the nation the opportunity to reflect on the incredible contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Our nation is at its best when it welcomes, represents and includes people of all backgrounds. This includes people with disabilities and the intersections shared with the LGBTQ+ community. According to a study published in 2012, fully 36 percent of women in the LGBTQ+ community and 30 percent of men in the community also self-identify as people with disabilities. Learn more about the intersection via RespectAbility here, especially with Leah Ilana's essay on the need for safe refuge.  More  Disabled LBGTQ+ Profiles, in their own voices, are profiled here.

We celebrate with you! You matter! UMBC Resources include:

LGBTQ Student Union - for all students (undergrad, grad, part-time, full-time)
LGBTQ+ FSA - Faculty and Staff group
The Pride Center is centrally located on the first floor of the UC.
LGBTQIA+ Resource Page via the Office of Equity and Civil Rights

Dear Colleagues, 

On behalf of the Council of University System Staff (CUSS) and the Council of University System Faculty (CUSF), we are seeking your participation in a brief survey to gauge your awareness of and the strengths and growth opportunities for shared governance efforts on your campus and within the University System of Maryland. When functioning properly, shared governance, for those who are unaware, is a system where committee(s) of faculty, staff, and students advise campus/system leadership on policies/procedures/issues, giving a voice to all three groups. 

This survey is anonymous (the survey platform will not collect any identifying information from respondents, including IP and email addresses) and should take no more than five minutes to complete. The responses of this survey will be analyzed, aggregated, and shared with the leadership both on your campus and at the University System of Maryland. 

The deadline for responses is June 21, 2024. The link to complete the survey is: https://umdsurvey.umd.edu/jfe/form/SV_0PwGK52PmIRDCOa

Questions or concerns can be directed to the chairs of the Shared Governance Councils, CUSS Chair Kalia Patricio (krp@umd.edu) and CUSF Chair Heather Haverback (hhaverback@towson.edu). 

Thank you in advance for your participation! 

Kalia Patricio, CUSS Chair
Heather Haverback, CUSF Chair

We'd love to help!

Please email Kate at drabinsk@umbc.edu if you would like to have access to our database of self assessments written by faculty at every stage of promotion and tenure, whether on the tenure or lecturer track.

Also, if you have recently gone up for promotion or tenure and are willing to share your statement with others, please email it to Kate as well.

Finally, let us know if you would like to be paired up with a reader for direct feedback. We pair up folks who are at the level you are aiming for, and it can be really helpful to have a pair of eyes that doesn't know a lot about your field, as committees are often diverse. Let us let you know what makes sense to a smart but general reader! We'll circle back near the end of the summer to make sure everyone gets the readers they need.

Happy summer from the Women's Faculty Network!

UMBC Magazine has an article on CSEE Professor Curtis Menyuk and his seminal work on using optics and frequency combs to develop more accurate time-keeping technology. This has led to the recent establishment of the Center for Navigation, Timing, and Frequency Research (CENTAUR) at UMBC with support from the Army Research Laboratory. Its research on optical clocks can improve the accuracy of the current satellite-based Global Positioning System and provide alternatives in case of its failure.

The Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management department is excited to announce the launch of our LEAP Leadership Development Academy this August 2024! 

UMBC's LEAP Academy is a 5-month leadership development experience designed to provide the critical professional competencies and people skills that new people managers need to be effective at leading others and teams. This program is also appropriate for existing supervisors who need a tune-up on today's critical foundational managerial competencies to better support their team. 

This cohort-style program (3 separate 20-person cohorts) will be delivered in a hybrid format with live in-person instructional sessions and virtual team coaching sessions. Participants will also receive an All-Access Pass to FranklinCovey's Impact Portal where they will have access to additional resources.

OSP is very pleased to formally announce that Cameron McAdams has been selected as the new Assistant Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs.  Cameron joined the UMBC Office of Sponsored Programs as a Grants and Contracts Specialist in November 2010,  and was promoted to Grants & Contracts Manager in 2015. 

Cameron provides fourteen (14) years of experience in Research Administration to the AD position in OSP. It should be duly noted that he is also a proud alumnus of UMBC (Class of 2006, majoring in Modern Language and Linguistics)! 

Cameron has had the opportunity to work with nearly all of the colleges and units during his years working in OSP, but has spent the past nine (9) years managing the grants and contracts that have emanated from the College of Engineering and Information Technology (COEIT).  His astute knowledge and experience have been well-noted and recognized by his peers as he was recently nominated for the COEIT Outstanding Partnership award and had been nominated for Staff Employee of the Quarter as well in the past.

Cameron’s proficiencies and leadership capabilities will be most welcomed in his new position as OSP Assistant Director.

Please join us in congratulating Cameron on this well-earned promotion!
