Today, Tuesday, August 18th, at 2pm! As part of CNMS Advising's "College Boot Camp" virtual series, Mx. Melissa Huselton, Health Professions Advisor, will be available to answer questions during "White Coats Start Here," an unstructured, virtual Question and Answer session about how to prepare for health professional school (ex: medical school, dental school, etc). More information about the "College Boot Camp" series, as well as the link to access the Webex virtual meeting room, may be found below:

The countdown to the start of the semester is HEERRRE! It's time to gear up and lock in to make sure that you are as successful as possible. To help with this -- CNMS Advising will be releasing short video playlists everyday this week that are curated for CNMS-majors specfically!

To get things started, we will kick things off today with a focus on general STEM study skills. Whether you’re a new, incoming student or even a seasoned upperclassman, we’re sure you’ll be able to find a helpful info session somewhere in our lineup (see attached flier and schedule below).  

Monday 8/17 -- STEM Study Skills

Tuesday 8/18 -- Core Competencies

** Special Guest and LIVE Q&A Session "White Coats Start Here" with Mx. Melissa Huselton (PMED/Health Professions Advisor) @ 2PM via Webex **

Wednesday 8/19 -- BIOL/CHEM Course Support

Due to unforseen circumstances, the Office of Graduate Student Life will be closed Tuesday, August 18 and will reopen Wednesday, Auguast 19. 

Our apologies for any inconveinence this may have caused. 

See you tomorrow! 

Attention Staff & Faculty! Please pick-up your regalia for Convocation by Saturday, August 22 at 4:00pm. The Bookstore will be closed on Sunday, August 23.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email bookstore@umbc.edu.

The Dresher Center has formalized the process for requesting co-sponsorship funds. Through this, we seek to support a variety of departments and events across the academic year through co-sponsorships. Faculty and staff may request small discretionary grants (maximum $500) to support opportunities such as visiting speakers, workshops, and conferences held at UMBC.

Applications are accepted from August 1-April 30 of the current academic year.

Please note:

• At least two units or departments must commit to co-sponsorship (which can include financial, administrative, publicity, or other in-kind support) prior to application to the Dresher Center.
• Co-sponsorship funding supplements the support of the lead unit, which is expected to administer funding and the event. The Dresher Center can promote the event through our calendar and website but does not assume additional organizational responsibilities for co-sponsored events.
• The Dresher Center does not co-sponsor events that conflict with other events we are supporting.
• Events with remote speakers are eligible for up to $250.
• The Dresher Center for the Humanities must be acknowledged as a co-sponsor (logos can be provided upon request).
• If you are recording your event, the Dresher Center may be able to host the recording on our YouTube channel. The Dresher Center may have further questions regarding plans and will evaluate YouTube hosting requests on the basis of cost (including time and availability of Dresher Center staff) and on the merits of broadly distributing the event recording through a public platform such as YouTube.

WELCOME TO COLLEGE BOOTCAMP! Today kicks off the first day of our success playlist and we are jumping right into a cornerstone topic -- STEM study skills! 

College coursework is challenging across the board, but there are some essential skills that can help crack the code for science learning specifically.  In the videos below, you will learn about some easy, actionable, and science-backed study habits that you can implement into your schedule from day one. For example, planning for spaced out, high intensity study sessions can help you master STEM content while harnessing the benefits of diffused thinking and allowing for long-term memory and understanding. Some of the videos below will also reference how the study habits you build in college like active learning will be reflected and reused in your future careers such as in the medical school teaching mantra of "see one, do one, teach one." 

Most importantly, be mindful that your STEM coursework is supposed to be challenging and it is only through taking on the struggle that you will develop effective studying skills. Throughout the semester, reflect on your study successes and setbacks, consider the tips below, make adjustments as needed, and ask for help! 

Academic HIIT: High Intensity Interval Studying w/Emma Barnaby (CNMS Student Success Coach)

TED-ED Talk:3 Tips on How to Study Effectively

The Top Study Habits to Improve Learning w/Dr. Andrew Huberman (Professor of Neurobiology & Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine)

Join us again tomorrow for another playlist that will cover the importance of hollistic development, core competencies, and a  LIVE Q&A Session "White Coats Start Here" with Mx. Melissa Huselton (PMED/Health Professions Advisor) @ 2PM via Webex.

Stay with us everyday this week to strengthen your skills and power your future. It starts today! 

Scope of the supported project

Dr. Brad Peercy's most recent NSF grant continues his work on representing the movement of clustered cells through a challenging geometric landscape.  In conjunction with experimentalist Dr. Michelle Starz-Gaiano (UMBC Biological Sciences) and former graduate student Dr. Naghmeh Akhavan (U Michigan Mathematics) we use in vivo data and Phase Field modeling to represent the energies and forces in cellular interactions in response to chemical signals represented with reaction diffusion equations.  This hybrid PDE system will then be validated and used to predict migration pathology.

Motivation

During human development and wound healing, cells of the body must migrate to new locations in a coordinated way. Moving cells rely on chemicals in their environment to direct them to the correct places. Often, they are guided by positive cues called chemoattractants in a process termed ‘chemotaxis’. In in vitro systems, cells will move along a gradient of chemical cues, but in vivo it is difficult to predict how gradients form and how cells respond to variations, since the surrounding environment is heterogeneous and likely to alter both the chemical distribution and the response.

Training

This award and related subaward will train graduate students and early career researchers.  The grant will support broader interdisciplinary efforts through CIMBRE.

The Georgetown Law Investigative Internship Program is now accepting applications for the Spring 2027 semester! 

Students interested in a deep, substantive experience in the field of criminal law are encouraged to apply.

Application Deadline: October 16, 2026

It is important to note, however, that decisions are made on a rolling basis. This means that some of the spots are often filled before the deadline date, so it is advisable to apply early.

Minimum Qualifications:

• The internship is open to students at accredited four-year colleges, college graduates, or graduate students. With respect to undergraduate students, juniors and seniors are preferred, but first-year students and sophomores are sometimes accepted.
• Participants from a variety of academic majors are generally accepted, and all majors are eligible.
• Previous exposure to or experience in the fields of law, criminal justice, or public service is helpful but is not required.
• Applicants should be able to demonstrate that they can devote a sufficient amount of time to this internship. (See time requirements for explanation.) 
• The program needs interns who can make their investigative responsibilities a significant priority.
• Interns must also be able to demonstrate strong communication skills in the application process.
• The ability to easily communicate with persons of differing backgrounds, values, and cultures, and to document work in written form that is appropriate for use in court, is crucial to investigative work.

To learn more about the internship program, visit this website.

We’re excited to see you all back on campus! Check out our Welcome Week dining hours and find the perfect spot to grab a bite and refuel. Don't forget to meet us at the Convocation Cookout on Sunday, August 23!
