Name: Gabriella Salas
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Baltimore Witness
Position Title: Writing Intern
Major or Program: Media & Communication Studies, English Literature
Current Class Level: Senior
Work Term: Spring 2022
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
I intern at Baltimore Witness which is a non-profit website that marries journalism and data transparency. My typical day involves attending in-person hearings and trials and reporting on those cases. We cover non-fatal shootings and homicides in Baltimore City. We do this with the hope of delivering transparency about the Baltimore City criminal justice system. Aside from attending hearings and trials, I also interview prosecutors and attorneys, study trends regarding crimes and trials, and I write articles for the website.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I received an email from Rebecca Adelman last semester about this opportunity and sent our Editor-in-Chief, Trina Antoine, my cover letter, resume, and sample writing. I submitted during late December and heard back fairly quickly. I had one interview and was hired on the spot.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
I have enjoyed the writing process and attending on-going trials. Some of these cases can be very interesting and seeing how the criminal justice system plays differently everyday is fascinating.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I think being able to give the residents of Baltimore a view of what's going on inside the criminal justice system is very eye-opening. Reform can't happen unless we know exactly what's going on.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would say that whether you're interested in journalism like me or interested in learning more about the criminal justice system, to definitely know how to write well, to know a little bit about the criminal justice system in general, and it doesn't hurt to pay attention to on-going trends in the city you're interested in. I think having that background knowledge is very helpful, especially when you're spending all of your time writing about it.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Baltimore Witness has allowed me to see a different side of journalism. It's not driven to make flashy headlines, but rather to report the facts and deliver transparency to its community.

Name: Marvin Onwukwe
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: UMBC USM LSAMP
Position Title: Undergraduate Researcher
Major or Program: Biological Sciences
Current Class Level: Junior
Work Term: Spring 2022
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
My responsibilities include learning laboratory procedures and getting myself up to speed with the other undergraduate researchers in the lab by undergoing training. I'd like to get onto my own project and intellectually contribute to the findings. I take part in chores, meetings, technique training and data collection. I collect flies from food vials carefully and put them to sleep with carbon dioxide and inspect them under the microscope. I need to discover their gender and safely collect the correctly designated flies from labeled fly lines so that they can be treated with the experimental variable and gage the results through their homogenized sample.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I heard about the vacancy through a recent UMBC graduate and I had formally applied via USM LSAMP.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
Learning from experienced undergraduate peers
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I believe I made an impact by contributing to a greater whole. The lab is reputable, the grand scheme/goals of the research contribute to solving some of today's most relevant medical qualms of which I would be fortunate to make contributions to in the smallest part.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Now is the best time. Don't wait, you'll be happy you took the opportunity to grow.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
I feel more engaged with people who could be valuable resources. It gave me more confidence in pursuing the daunting initial steps I needed to take to find out my passions. I held so much initial fear towards the future as many do but I now feel more capable of assertive action that would put me in the right direction.

]]>Name: Evelyn Yuen
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Museum of the Bible
Position Title: Communications Intern
Major or Program: History and Sociology
Current Class Level: Junior
Work Term: Spring 2022
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
As the communications intern, I am responsible for developing "stock" content for social media, press releases, and the museum's magazine. I sort through digitized artifacts and organize lists of artifacts that would be appropriate to post on social media. Interpreting the artifacts and presenting them in plain English is also part of the process. Besides that, I help research best practices and competitors' practices for podcasts and TikTok for internal use.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I obtained this position through my last position at the Museum of the Bible as a museum education intern. But originally, I learned about the intern positions at the Museum through Indeed.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
The people at the museum are amazing and very supportive. I learned a lot from them and their encouragement has given me (a non-major) so much confidence to complete my duties well.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
My manager and the staffs' appreciation and encouragement are indicators by which I know I did something helpful to the museum. Besides, my manager has given me so much freedom in my duties and allows me to express my opinions. The fact that they value my effort and opinion are clear indicators that my work is making an impact.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Be confident in your knowledge and skills and be curious all the time. Don't refrain from asking questions due to fear of asking a "stupid question." As a non-major, I did not know technical jargon and the process of establishing a marketing campaign, I learned through asking. Especially since every company and organization has their style of working, not knowing everything is not anathema and asking is not an indication of ignorance. In fact, employers expect constant communication with the intern and are welcoming towards questions.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
The resources from the practicum have definitely debunked many myths that I held. They have supported me well as I now know what to expect from an internship and how to get the most out of it.

Welcome to the CARD/FAES Application Portal for the UMBC MPS in Data Science IRTA Fellowship Program. This portal is maintained by FAES in cooperation with the Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD).
Now accepting Cohort I applications for the August 2022 semester start.
CARD/FAES Application Deadline: May 2, 2022
(please refer to the timeline below for additional important dates)
The newly formed Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD) at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is offering a two-year unique, research-intensive master’s level fellowship program to build a stronger, more diverse and inclusive community in biomedical data science. The goal of this program is to cultivate the next generation of data science and bioinformatics professionals at CARD. Fellowship awardees will gain foundational knowledge in data analysis and data management through collaborative online instruction and research performed at CARD with experts in the field of Alzheimer's and related dementia research. Beyond their coursework, as members of the research team, fellows have the opportunity to utilize and refine new skills while working with real data curated at CARD. Information about the CARD mission and philosophy, scientific themes and structural priorities, as well as mentors, can be found on the CARD website.
Three application cohorts will be administered over the course of three years; each cohort will start in the Fall semester of 2022 (Cohort I), 2023 (Cohort II), and 2024 (Cohort III). Application dates for Cohorts II and III will be posted in the spring of the corresponding year.
The following information provides details on who is eligible for this exciting opportunity and the eligibility requirements, admission requirements and how to apply for the fellowship program, proposed coursework, and timelines for completing the CARD and UMBC applications. Watch the video of the Virtual Information Session for additional information about CARD, research and mentoring at CARD, and to better understand the framework for blending FAES and UMBC courses. The FAQ page also includes answers to a variety of commonly asked questions that may not be otherwise covered on this page.
FELLOWSHIP OVERVIEW
U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Legal Residents: Selected candidates will receive a full-time Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Student (Academic) Fellowship to work at CARD for a total of two consecutive years. During this time, selected candidates will get trained in data analysis while studying the MPS degree. The fellowship will cover costs of the MPS degree (except for books), including a paid stipend while working at CARD.
Candidates with no intention of working at CARD are not eligible for the fellowship. However, they can pursue the MPS on their own by applying directly with UMBC.
The program is a 30-credit hour professional graduate degree with a mandated minimum GPA of 3.0. This two-year degree/fellowship program will allow qualified students who take specified FAES Data Science and Bioinformatics courses to transfer up to 15 credits to UMBC’s MPS in Data Science. The master’s degree will be earned in two consecutive years. All courses will be taught by highly experienced data science professionals.
