Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Vincent Brown and I am a transfer student from Barry University in Miami, FL where I played on the Men’s Basketball team my freshman year. Now I am a Junior/Senior Premed, Biology major with a minor in Ancient Studies. I have lots of interests in things from Comics, Science-Fiction, and Anime to Ancient Civilizations and Space!

 

Tell us about how you are involved on campus.

Besides tutoring Biology, Organic Chemistry and Physics in the LRC, I am on the E-Board of UMBC’s Premedical Society as the club’s webmaster. I am also a member of the Biology Council of Majors and the Ancient Studies Council of Majors. In addition to this, I am a teaching assistant (TA) for Dr. Eisenmann’s BIOL 302 Genetics class this semester and I am currently trying to become a Conversation Partner for International Students in the English Language Institute.

 

How and why did you get involved in being a tutor?

I became a tutor during the Fall 2018 semester after I wanted to find a way to get more involved on campus. I utilized tutoring in many of my classes and found it very helpful so I wanted to be able to help other students just as I have been helped.

 

What is your favorite thing about being a tutor?

My favorite thing about tutoring is helping students find the way to learn or study that works best for them and seeing the light bulb go off inside their heads. Giving the students the ability to find the right answers on their own and giving them the confidence to do so is also very rewarding.

 

Why should students utilize the tutoring?

Students should use tutoring because it is one of the best resources on campus, plus it’s free! Tutoring is beneficial for all students whether they are struggling with the material or are doing fine in the class. I say this because tutoring offers more than just helping you understand a topic from class. It can help you develop new study habits/techniques and learn how to find answers to your questions on your own, as well as serve as a place to simply get some one-on-one attention.

 

What advice would you give students about how to prepare for a tutoring session? 

The best way to be prepared for a tutoring session is to have questions already prepared! Some advice for bringing questions would be that you should have at least one specific question/example for every general/broad question that you bring because this will allow the session to happen more smoothly and the tutor will be able to spend more time helping you because you won’t be stuck during the session trying to find a problem to work on.

 

When and where can someone work with you through the Learning Resources Center?

For any student that needs help in BIOL 100, 123, 141, 142, 302, or 303, CHEM 351/352 and PHYS 111/112, I am available on Mondays 11-12, 1-2 and Fridays 12-2. I am also trying to determine if I can tutor any other hours so I may have more availability in the future. You can schedule an appointment through the StudyTree app, online through the LRC website or in person at Sherman 345.

Investigations Of The Acidity And Liquid Water Content Of Chesapeake Bay Aerosols During The OWLETS-2 Campaign

Nicholas Balasus 1:00-1:15pm, UC 204
(Mentor: Christopher Hennigan)
This study characterized aerosol acidity and liquid water content over the Chesapeake Bay during the OWLETS-2 (Ozone Water Land Environmental-Transition Study) campaign. Aerosols are minute solid particles or liquid droplets that are suspended in the atmosphere. Those aerosols that are 2.5 μm or smaller in diameter (i.e. PM2.5) are of particular importance to human health because of their potential to penetrate deeply into the lungs and cause an array of adverse health outcomes. Measurements of inorganic PM2.5 composition and gas-phase ammonia were undertaken at the Hart-Miller Island supersite, which lies east of Baltimore on the Chesapeake Bay. The location of the measurement site was important for multiple reasons, including its proximity to cattle and poultry farms and the influence of the bay as a source/sink of gases. The median aerosol pH for this study was 2.31, which was higher (less acidic) than the median aerosol pH predicted for a site in downtown Baltimore during the summer (1.27). Additionally, pH and aerosol liquid water did not exhibit strong diurnal variations, in contrast to other sites in the eastern U.S. during the summer. These results suggest a strong influence of the Chesapeake Bay and the surrounding area on aerosol chemistry.

Find out how to jump start your career and win prizes!

I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but April is the annual Career Center Career Month! It’s so big and exciting we even have a website dedicated to all things Career Month. Check it out here. But what exactly does Career Month mean? How are these events any different than the usual Career Center workshops? Well, I am so glad you asked…


One of the big differences is just how many events we are hosting. During Career Month, we will have at least one event almost every single day! Events are split into three categories: Networking, Career Exploration, and Professional skill building. We’ll have student-alumni networking events, bus trips to companies’ offices, and workshops for specific majors and interests. Want to know the NSA’s process for issuing security clearances? We have that.  Want to transition your internship into a full-time offer? Stop by on April 22nd to find out. Curious about how to develop and maintain your personal brand? We can do that too. Check out our full calendar of events here! There's something for everybody.


Two major events that you should consider stopping by are our Arts with a Purpose event and our Clothing Closet event. Arts with a Purpose is on Thursday, April 11th. Stop by the top floor of the library and listen to talks by employers about how they’ve built successful careers in the arts. Be sure to stay till the end for a networking session! The Clothing Closet event is happening this week at the Harbor MPR! Come pick up your free professional outfit Wednesday or Thursday of this week!


Another big difference about Career Month is the prizes! We’re raffling a prize every day. To enter, all you have to do is take a selfie at a Career Month event, post it on your Instagram, and tag it with #UMBCCareerMonth. More information can be found here.


Start thinking about what events you’d like to attend now! Some events, like Career Paths for Graduate Students, Sweeten Up Your Network, and Dining Etiquette Dinner require registration. So if you’re looking for jobs, building a network, or expanding your skill set, the Career Month has events for you. We’d love to see you there! ]]> I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but April is the annual Career Center Career Month!
