Degree Mentors
Why did you choose to major in INDS?
When I entered UMBC I was initially a biology major, but after looking over the required courses for the degree, I realized that it was not the right path for me. In choosing a major that encompassed only one field of study, I would not have been able to adequately represent the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience that makes it so interesting and unique. By choosing to major in INDS however, I was able to seamlessly incorporate all of these diverse, yet equally important perspectives. In doing so, I feel that I've created a degree that prepares me to both continue my neuroscience education, as well as for any future career endeavors in the field.
What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
After I graduate, I plan to attend graduate school in the hopes of obtaining a PhD in Neuroscience. This will be necessary if I hope to achieve my ultimate goal of going into neuroscience research, focusing specifically on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. My INDS degree will be supremely useful for these endeavors, as it has not only helped me to gain specialized knowledge of my field, but also skills and experience that will make me a more well-rounded candidate when applying.

This summer, the Career Center proudly announced its acceptance as a member of the International Career Collective (ICC), a distinguished network of 23 U.S. universities supporting over 120,000 international students from more than 150 countries. This membership marks a milestone for UMBC's international students, as it opens up a collaborative platform to enhance their career development.
As part of the ICC, UMBC will partner with top institutions, including Johns Hopkins University, Duke, and NYU, to offer specialized career resources tailored for international students. Upcoming initiatives will feature an International Career Summit and Employer Expo, fostering professional development and networking on a global scale.
The ICC’s mission is to unite higher education professionals in creating impactful events and resources that aid international students in launching successful careers. Through this collaboration, students will gain access to career events, skill-building workshops, and a global network of employers.
This month, ICC universities, including UMBC, will co-host the 2024 International Career Summit, a virtual five-day event designed to empower students with career insights and strategies. Highlights include sessions on communication, job search tactics, global career paths, and life design, concluding with the ICC Career Expo on November 19. Spaces are limited; registration is essential for each day. For more information about the ICC and the upcoming summit, visit the ICC website.

As educational institutions continue to innovate, audiovisual technology remains a core pillar for enhancing next-generation learning spaces and yielding positive outcomes for both faculty and students. This session will explore the new realm of AV over IP technology and how you can optimize your network to distribute audiovisual content to every corner of your campus. We will learn how to distribute AV over IP in active learning classrooms with multiple displays. Discover the role of encoders, decoders, and IP switches. Learn considerations for delivering professional quality audio with the AES67 standard and visually lossless video at high resolutions and ultra-low latency. We will also dive into AV and network infrastructure concepts such as compression, bandwidth requirements, codecs, and network switch protocols. Lastly, this session will discuss the benefits of incorporating AV control and distributed audio into the world of AV over IP. Explore how centralized AV control systems can elevate the overall learning experience, making it more dynamic and interactive.
This presentation is well-suited for audiences in K-12 and Higher Education, including CTO/IT and Technology Directors, Technology Coordinators, AV Designers, AV/IT Technicians, and others in instructional technology roles.
