●      Utilize Student Support and Tutoring Services for peer and tutoring resources.

●      Visit the Learning Resources Center for learning assistance services.

●      Schedule a one-on-one meeting with your professors to validate you are obtaining the accurate information in lectures and/or labs.

At the end of the spring semester, the Merit Scholarship Review Committee will review your academic record and confirm compliance with your scholarship requirements.

Baltimore Water Taxi is looking for 8 interns to join their first ever sales and marketing field team. Interns will be conducting grassroots sales activities like performing neighborhood canvasing campaigns, creating content for social media and their website, assisting with customer support, surveying, and observation to inform our user experience research, and more! This is an excellent opportunity to learn the ropes of small businesses, try new ideas, and have real responsibility and hard goals in a work environment. Interns will also have the opportunity to attend professional trainings in sales, marketing, and other critical business skills. This is the opposite of a boring desk job. If you’re an outgoing people-person, a clear communicator across all mediums, and interested in how to build a business, this opportunity might be perfect for you!

Pay is $12/hr with performance-based bonuses available every week.
