An Inside Look at Graduate School & Summer Research:
How to Prepare, Get Accepted, and Succeed

Evelyn S. Erenrich, PhD
Asst Dean, Rutgers Graduate School-New Brunswick
Rutgers University

Head Swimming and Diving Coach Chad Cradock earned his 200th career win at the CCSA North Invitational this past weekend. Cradock swept the competition, earning wins over Gardner-Webb, NJIT, and VMI to accomplish the feat.

“It is a pleasure for a milestone like this to occur at home,” Cradock said about winning number 200. “I want to thank all the coaches who have been a part of this over the years, including Chris Gibeau who has been here with me for most of it,” he added. “I am proud to work with talented athletes both in the past and the present for their spirit of hard work and upholding UMBC tradition.”

Cradock has amassed a record of 200-66-1 over his 13 plus year career at UMBC. He has a total men’s record of 105-23-1, while holding a 95-43 mark with the women.

The Retrievers will close out the month of October with a dual meet at George Washington on Saturday, October 25. The meet with the Colonials is set to begin at 1:00 p.m.

Caroline Bodnar

Role at the UMBC Career Center: I help people figure out "what they want to be when they grow up" and what steps they need to take to get there.

 

Q: Where have you earned your college degrees?

A: Undergrad = University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. Wahoowa! Grad= Towson University in Towson, MD.

 

Q: What program(s) did you study? How did you choose your major?

A: B.A. in Psychology. I started out a Biology major on the pre-med track but decided that I wanted to help people without having to take all those advanced science and math courses. I basically took every Psych course the school offered because I loved the subject that much!

M.A. in Counseling Psychology

 

Q: Tell me about the job and internship process when you were in college. Were you able to find job/internship positions that were related to your major or your career interests?

A: I interviewed for a work-study on-campus job as a fiscal tech assistant in UVA's biomedical engineering department on my first day of class and was offered the job on the spot. I kept that job for all 4 years including summers because they gave me a raise every year. Internships were not really emphasized so I did not have any. However, I was a research assistant in a cognitive Psych lab for academic credit for 4 semesters.

 

Q: What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

A: “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

 

Q: Why should students visit the Career Center?

A: Students and alumni should visit because you don't have to do everything on your own. I never went to my college career center mistakenly thinking they could not help me. As a first generation college student, I didn't have anyone else to point me in the right direction so it would have made things infinitely easier if I had used the resources my school offered. Plus, we are fun and friendly people so students should not be intimidated to check us out.

 

Q: What is your favorite aspect about UMBC?

A: This is the fifth university I have worked for and while each one has had a unique culture and personality, I really like the small feel of UMBC and how supportive everyone is of each other. It is such a pleasure to work with UMBC students because they are so polite, hard-working, and appreciative. Plus, we're a little quirky and I think that's pretty cool.

 

Q: What is one item on your bucket list?

A: I really want to try sky-diving. I was all set to do it on my 30th birthday and then I discovered that I was pregnant so I decided to hold off for a bit. I also love travel and want to see as much of the world as I can in my lifetime.

 

Q: What is one aspect of the DC/Baltimore area that you often explore?

A: My husband and I like to visit off-the-beaten path places. One recent interesting find is the Mansion on O Street in DC where you can wonder around themed rooms and find secret passageways. I also love animals so the National Zoo is an old fave that is free!

The logistics (viewing positions, applying, signing up for interview time slots, etc.) are all handled via UMBCworks.

Don't miss out on employers coming to UMBC to recruit YOU this fall! The following is a list of employers coming to conduct on-campus interviews with application deadlines within the next month.

Getting Your Dream Internship


Interested in gaining real-life experience that complements your classroom learning? The process to find internships for the summer starts now.

The internship experience I had over the summer was outstanding. I learned new skills and information, and made new friends and connections within my field of interest. It was my dream internship and I knew it before I even applied. When I started considering internships I decided that I wanted an experience that would be different from what I have been doing and something that would challenge me intellectually.

I started looking at the Smithsonian Institution’s website and looked at potential mentors. Once I found somebody with similar interests, I emailed him. I was very honest about my experiences and very honest about what I wanted out of an experience working with him at the Smithsonian. I had my friends revise the email so that I knew that I was giving the best impression possible.

After the email correspondence he advised that I apply through the Smithsonian Minority Internship program. I promptly thanked him and began my application. The application included a personal statement, my resume, letters of recommendation, and the application. Once my application was submitted, I notified him that I submitted my application and that I was very excited about the possibility of working with him.

When I learned that I got the internship I was ecstatic! I called my friends, sent thank you emails to my recommenders, and exclaimed my excitement on social media. I filled out the paperwork and then it was official! I was going to be working in DC at the Genetics Lab of the Smithsonian National Zoo over the summer!


If you are interested in internships for this summer, I recommend attending the Internship Success Conference from 5:30 – 8:30 on October 29th in the Skylight Room.

You can start internship search now. The Career Center is here to help you find, attain, and enjoy your internship experience.


First: Please schedule an appointment online using UMBCworks, stop by our office (Math/Psych 212) or call our office (410-455-2216) for a 30 minute appointment. During this appointment we will review your resume and approve you to begin applying for internships using UMBCworks.


Next: Find internships. 
UMBCworks is a great tool to use for applying for internships.  You can set up Search Agents that will automatically email you when internships meeting your desired criteria are posted.
Companies also come to campus. Please see the calendar on our website to see when employers will be visiting campus, for networking events, for On the Road events, and For Lunch & Learn events. You may have even found some great internship opportunities at the Fall Career Fair. 

There is also a list of resources on our website. (http://www.careers.umbc.edu/skills/intern/resources.php)


Then: Apply to positions
Have a great resume prepared and know that some positions will also ask for a cover letter. We can help you with both of those documents at drop-in hours. Having a well-written and tailored resume and cover letter will help you make a great impression. 

Some research internships will ask for a personal statement about your research interests. Make an appointment with a career specialist for help with your personal statement. 

Fill out the application and provide all necessary information. Remember to submit when you are finished and call to confirm that your submission was received. 


After you have obtained an internship:
You can schedule an appointment so you can receive transcript notation, academic credit, and register for Practicum 98. The practicum is a co-requisite to internships. Via the practicum, a Career Center coordinator will be assigned to guide you and advocate for you throughout your internship. You will also receive professional development tips and skills via the practicum.
