Topics in Animation and Interactive Media 


This course invites an interdisciplinary group of students throughout the UMBC campus, including Visual Art students, animators, designers, information systems students, and students working in music technology, computer programming, and digital humanities, who will work in a project-based collaborative environment. The Rap Research Lab will introduce students to the processes of creative technology, data visualization and multimedia production in a professional work environment. Students work under the guidance of the Rap Research Lab director, usually in teams, on client-based or research projects. The focus of the course is on the development of ideas, utilizing evolving technologies. Rap Research Lab productions demand a diversity of skills from students. This opportunity is an upper-level course welcoming applications from students with a wide range of experience from ideation to production as well as skills including: spatial design,

Writing By and For Artists, Curators & Critics Critics

How do artists engage in the practice of writing about their own and others' artwork? What are the conventions curators follow in formulating theses statements for art exhibitions and in writing labels for the art objects on display in a show or a museum? What is entailed in producing an effective piece of art criticism? Students in this seminar grapple with these questions on a practical level by reading published works by artists, curators and critics, and by carrying out a range of weekly writing exercises. On a more philosophical level, the goal of the course is to become so comfortable with writing about art that to do so becomes more of a matter of desire than duress. The course will be conducted as a small seminar with weekly discussions and written assignments. Note: individual goals may be established with the instructor.

Advanced 3D Animation

This course will continue a student's exploration of 3-D computer animation. Advanced techniques for modeling and procedural rendering will be introduced, as well as animation techniques that utilize scripts, expressions, deformations and inverse kinematics. Students will utilize these skills in the context of strengthening their own artistic voice.

December 3rd is the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, honoring the United Nation's commitment for promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities - more than 1 billion people worldwide are in this demographic, the world's largest minority. The day raises awareness of the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of disability that affects people around the world. 

The theme for 2022 is transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fueling an accessible and equitable world.  The theme reflects recent consideration of the impacts of COVID-19, climate change, and the invasion Ukraine. More information about the UN Virtual New York Commemoration event, including registration is linked here.

UMBC is recognizing this important day with the screening of the documentary, I Didn't See You There on Monday December 5 at 4p in Admin 101 (link) - please join us for this award-winning film, which will be followed by discussion/Q&A.


Working toward an accessible future is everyone's responsibility. As a campus, we engage together to create a future which insists that people are not needlessly excluded due to health conditions that create substantial limitations in how people engage with the world. Report barriers when you encounter them - at UMBC our accessibility concern form is available 24/7 to report any issues that arise: https://accessibility.umbc.edu/report-campus-accessibility-concern/.

UMBC's Accessibility & Disability Services partners with the entire campus community -departments, groups, and individuals - to overcome barriers. Student Disability Services  is a resource for all students with disabilities.

If there is an accessibility concern on campus - report it via this linked form.  With Facilities Management maintenance or repair reporting - the best, first step is to report it to Work Control via 410-455-2550 or Workorder@umbc.edu.  For residential hall repair conditions, non-emergencies can be reported to http://fxit.umbc.edu, and emergencies can be called in to the FXIT line: 410-455-3948.

Hello! My name is Natalia Alfaro and I am a Senior Public Health major here at UMBC. I am also a Career Peer at the UMBC Career Center. Did you ever wonder what we Career Peers do? I would love to tell you!

As a Career Peer, I am a source of advice for career resources guidance and a conversational guide for those with no experience with resume writing. One of my main responsibilities is to provide feedback to students on their resumes and cover letters during our daily drop-in hours.  I advise students on professional document formatting, efficiently communicating their accomplishments, and understanding the technical aspects of resume and cover letter writing. 

I also present Career Center workshops. This means collaborating with various student organizations and classes to provide students the opportunity to learn about the resources provided by the Career Center and details about the job search process. Workshop topics can range from learning how to pick a major to job search tips to learning how to navigate networking platforms like Retrievers Connect and Linkedin, and more. 

Being a Career Peer is a very enriching experience. I have learned a great deal about professional resume writing and career development via interacting with students and direct training from the Career Center staff. I have also been able to learn how to better my own career goals by using the various resources available from the Career Center and attending networking events. Before becoming a Career Peer, I would not necessarily have accessed as many Career Center resources; however, this opportunity has empowered me to feel confident in my abilities and has given me skills to network and begin my path to achieve my career goals. 

I highly encourage students to go to the UMBCCareer Center website to learn more about resources on major tools, networking  and more! For help or if you have any curiosity in seeking resume review support there are a few options:

  1. Express Drop-in services hours are anytime Monday-Friday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm (last student seen at 3:45pm) in the Career Center, Math/Psychology building, 201. 

  2. Schedule a Virtual Express Resume Review. These are held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Tuesdays. Schedule inHandshake or via theCareer Center website

  3. Schedule a resume review with the Internship & Employment or Career Specialist teams.

Happy December! 

As we look to the end of the semester and a restful winter break, we finish out the year with a few sessions on leadership development, wellness, and exam stress relief for students.  

We continue to share curated offerings from HRDQ on leadership development including: First or Worst: What Builds and Breaks Leaders; and Taking the Lead: Five Things Every Supervisor Needs to Know. These webinars are free through HRDQ, and you can find all of their offerings here. 

We also continue our collaboration with the USM Learning and Talent Development Committee by offering all campuses the USM Winter Wellness event on December 20th. There are 14 separate workshops during this day-long event, including “Communicating Without Conflict with Your Significant Other”, “Managing Holiday Stress” and “Emotional Eating: The Connection Between Mood and Food.” Select all, or just one or two, to get you on the path to wellness this winter. 

This collaboration with USM also extends to our students. This month, UMD extends a welcome to all USM students for a workshop on wellness techniques to ease end of semester and exam stress. More information and registration can be found at https://go.umd.edu/micro-moments. 

Have a safe and pleasant winter break!
