Environmental Science Internship with the Smithsonian
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's (SERC) Internship Program offers undergraduate and beginning graduate students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the fields of environmental research and education. This program enables students to work on specific projects under the direction of SERC's professional staff and is tailored to provide the maximum educational benefit to each participant.
Since 2001 the SERC internship program has been designated a REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) site by the National Science Foundation. With this funding, along with generous donations from the Smithsonian Women's Committee, and University partnerships we are able to provide internship opportunities to qualified undergraduate students looking to further their knowledge in the sciences.
Projects include terrestrial, atmospheric and estuarine environmental research within the disciplines of ecology, biology, chemistry, microbiology, botany, zoology, mathematics and physics. Projects are also offered in environmental education and media. Although students will become familiar with all the research being conducted by a particular staff member and with much of the research of SERC in general, individuals will devote most of their time to a project and content area of particular interest to them. Students will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge in a selected field of study and to learn a variety of research techniques through firsthand experience. At the conclusion of the internship, student participants will be expected to present the findings of their independent projects in a formal seminar to the SERC community.
Selection is based upon the student's academic credentials, extent of relevant training or experience, letters of recommendation, and the congruence of the student's expressed goals with those of the internship program. The Smithsonian does not discriminate on grounds of race, creed, sex, age, marital status, handicap or national origin of any applicant.
The specific dates and duration of the internship appointment are arranged between the supervisor and the student. However, internship appointments are generally full time (40 hours per week), 10 to 16 weeks in length, and coincide with the usual academic semesters and summer terms.
Applicants must register and submit an application on line: https://solaa.si.edu/solaa/SOLAAHome.html Select Smithsonian Environmental Research Center Internship Program from the drop down list of programs.

SUCCESS (Students United for Campus-Community Engagement for Post-Secondary Success) is the first four-year college experience for young adults with intellectual disabilities in Maryland. The article highlights the early progress of the program, which has seen its applications nearly triple. Shriver Center Director Michele Wolff talks about how the SUCCESS Program has been building on feedback and response from students and families. “We are building the program as we go, which is…a benefit and a challenge,” Wolff said. “The benefit … is …

How did you first get involved in your organization?
Sheena: I attended the 2012 Student Alumni Association event: Sweeten Up Your Network, and loved the experience I had with the successful young alumni there. After that, I wanted to be a part of the behind-the-scenes work that made such a thing possible so I filled out an interest form and attended their end-of-semester planning retreat.
Kevin: I first got involved when our first advisor came to one of my other groups on campus and told us about how they were having an interest meeting for SAA. At this time it hadn’t been formed yet and I was interested in the mission of the group. A couple of months later, our group was formed and I became the VP for Internal Affairs!
Stephanie: During Woolie training 2 years ago, one of the Woolies and a former SAA adviser came and spoke about a new student org they were starting that would connect student to alumni. I thought it would be an awesome experience because I was interested in getting advise from former UMBC students. Who knew what other possibilities would be available?
What is your organization already best known for at UMBC?
Sheena:I believe the Student Alumni Association (SAA) is best known for their empowering, student-driven events. With the help of our advisers, every activity we hold on campus is thought out, planned and executed by the students in the organization. It is a very nurturing environment where every idea can be brought to life because of the resources available to us and time-commitment that is always generously given.
Kevin: I think our group is best known for our annual event called Sweeten Up Your Network. It’s an event where students can speed network with all kinds of alumni from different backgrounds, and ask them questions about their experiences during colleges, life after college, and why they chose the decisions that they did.
Stephanie: Our org is still up and coming, but we have successfully held Sweeten Up Your Network two years in a row. This event allows students to network with alumni and "pick their brains" in 5min. You'll be surprised the kind of information/advise that you will receive.
What is something most people at UMBC do NOT know about your organization, but they should?
Sheena: Most people get confused when they see us, the usual reply at involvement fest is "...but I'm not an alum". We would like to clarify that we are not an organization for UMBC alumni but for current UMBC students by current UMBC students. In short, our goal is to connect students with the bottomless experiences, advice and resources that only young UMBC alumni can give them through as many on-campus activities as possible. Need first-hand career advice? Tips on post-college living? An opportunity to get a leg into a very competitive work-force? We have the connections, it is our gift to you.
Kevin: I think people should know that our organization is for students. There’s a lot of misconception about our group due to the fact that “alumni” is in our group title, but we are an organization for the students, by the students.
Jessica (our advisor): A lot of people think that SAA is a group for Alumni, people who have already graduated from UMBC, but in actuality its for current students. SAA works to connect students with Alumni to help them with career networking, professional development, and making connections with Alums who share their interests. On the flip side of that, SAA hosts several cool socal events throughout the year including UMBC Dye Hard (a black and gold tie dye event), homecoming kickball (students vs. alumni), casino night, instagram scavenger hunt, pizza study parties, and much more. Another cool thing SAA does is promote spirit and tradition on campus. We always hear that UMBC doesn't have spirit or an on-campus presence and SAA works to promote our UMBC community, celebrate Homecoming, and get students excited about being Retrievers. SAA is for anyone who wants to leave a legacy at UMBC.
Stephanie: People should know that SAA has so much to offer. Don't write us off just because we have 'Alumni' in our name. We're students who desire to leave a legacy on campus through connecting students with alums and helping with homecoming. We love to have fun and plan fun events.
