Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

I am interning within the Software Engineering Center for Raytheon Missile Systems. Upon orientation, I was assigned onto a project collaborating with a team of out Raytheon Dulles in Virginia. We operate on Agile Scrum so my day to day responsibilities are working on the software assigned to me and daily meetings with my team to discuss the work done and progress of the project.


Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I received help on my resume through the Career Center and my goal post grad is to serve the country and work for a Government, whether Contractor or Federal Agency so I applied to Raytheon online, with interest in the type of Defense company that they were. I was invited to a Hiring Event out in Tucson, Arizona at the end of April where I was interviewed for the position of Software Engineering Intern. I had experience interviewing from previous internships and I also did a lot of research on the company, specifically how the Software Engineering Center operates. I found out that day that I would be offered the position.


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?

The collaboration and networking with interns and employees from all over the country. Also working everyday with people who share the same passion of protecting our country.


How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

My goal is to always work hard and do all and everything I can to be a benefit to the company with nothing but a positive impact. In this case, working for a Defense contractor, knowing I contributed to ensuring the safety and security of my country in any way that I could was a huge honor.


What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

Put yourself out there. Take initiative to meet people, network, and research opportunities that correlate to your passions. There are so many opportunities on the Internet, just apply.

Since I finished the program I have been in my home country, Colombia, holding a position of professor in public policy and director of an observatory in public policy. Last year I was kindly invited to give a talk in the department and the option to teach a summer class came up.
 
The School of Public Policy has approved a 2018 summer class which I will teach, if there is enough enrollment:  PUBL 610-01 Evaluation of Policy Interventions.    See the summer listings: www.summer.umbc.edu. Registration begins March 5, 2018.

The class will have a strong focus on the practical issues of evaluation. The class is based on the experience I gained working at The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank. I can say by experience, that this kind of issues are not taught in most public policy programs, but are pivotal when working in public policy issues and the public sector.
 
The class will be a hybrid class in the second summer session (early July – early August) for 4 weeks and 3 credits. We will meet in the classroom in the evenings  twice a week and other work will be online.
 
To have the class run, it is necessary to have at least 6 students. We´re sending this email  out again in order to have an idea if enough students are interested on taking the class.
 
I´m attaching the syllabus for you to have an idea of the contents of the class.   
 
Please if you are interested, email Sally Helms and let her know of your interest.  You do NOT have to be in the Public Policy MPP or PhD in order to take this course.  Registration begins March 5, 2018. Please register as early as possible so this course can run.  www.summer.umbc.edu

This year, the program will place up to 25 recent PhDs from the humanities and humanistic social sciences in two-year term staff positions at partnering organizations in government and the nonprofit sector. Fellows will participate in the substantive work of these organizations and receive professional mentoring. Fellows receive a stipend of $67,500 per year, individual health insurance, a relocation allowance, and up to $3,000 to be used toward professional development activities over the course of the fellowship term.

This initiative, made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to expand the role of doctoral education in the United States by demonstrating that the capacities developed in the advanced study of the humanities have wide application, both within and beyond the academy. The Mellon/ACLS Public Fellows program allows PhDs to gain valuable, career-building experience in fields such as public policy, development, conservation, arts and culture, and media.

ACLS seeks applications from recent PhDs who aspire to careers in administration, management, and public service by choice rather than circumstance. Competitive applicants will have been successful in both academic and extra-academic experiences.

Applicants must:


The deadline for submitted applications is Wednesday, March 14, 2018, 9pm EDT.

No matter what save that money and do not touch it until you are in desperate need. Take another 20% and save it for a very long term goal like a house or your retirement. Never ever ever never touch it endless endless your roof is on fire. 
Other fun tips:
Every time you are given a five dollar bill save it in a five dollar bill box and once every six months deposit all those 5 dollar bills to the bank you can save like 100 dollars with that
Do the same exact thing with change but don,t deposit change at grocery stores as they charge a convenience fee.
Every 500 dollars you save spend 50 dollars on your self as an award like a really nice steak dinner or a cool t-shirt that for some reason costs 50 dollars. If you incentivize savings you are more likely to do it.
Budgeting is a big thing if you see where your hard earned dough is going it makes it harder to spend it.
Use coupons
Plan your grocery shopping around weekly sales
plan fun cheap alternative dates like hiking
Last tip try not to buy things on impulse take time and weigh if the item you want will really meaningfully impact your life.

So far I've got two ideas for events, casual play and Collegiate Rocket League tournament prep.

Casual Play:
Anyone interested hops in our discord and we either set up a private lobby (if enough players) or que and just chill and have fun

Collegiate Rocket League:
Prepare for the upcoming college rocket league tournament that will most likely happen around August. This is recommended for the more competitive among us as it will be a large time commitment in both practice and tournament play. 

Hop in our discord to join us! Soon I will be polling everyone in the discord for popular dates/times that people want to play.
