Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of Blacks in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans.

Come celebrate Black History Month with the Mosaic and attend events such as our PawTalk: QueenEarth and QueerCore and What’s The Tea: Black, Queer, and Here! where we will be having a discussion on the intersection of being both Black and queer and how that has impacted the lives of those who identify within those communities.

Same Job, New Round of Emails Have you received a job alert from Cisco? The Career Center has begun hearing from students that they are again receiving emails asking them to apply for the position:  UMBC PAID JOB OFFER.  The emails are coming from various individuals that claim to be hiring for positions at CISCO.

THIS POSITION IS A SCAM AND WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE SENDER.  WE DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY ARE GETTING YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION - IT IS NOT FROM UMBCworks.

The scam has been reported to UMBC's Department of Information and Technology (DoIT). 

This job is not posted in UMBCworks. Despite their claim, the contact did not get your email through UMBCworks.  These scammers have many ways to get student email addresses.  Please see the information and recommendations from DoIT at UMBC about phishing and spam HERE.  If you have already given your personal information, you should follow DoIT's recommendations.  You may want to alert the campus police about your particular concerns.

Also, in order to assist DoIT Security Team's investigation, recipients of the email should send security@umbc.edu a notification including the full header set of the message. These headers are not normally displayed but can be easily accessed. Please refer to: https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867970
for details.

The fact that the person used an email address not associated with the company is a red flag.  The wording in the email also seems suspect, particularly the fact they are asking you for your information before sharing the job description.

Please be sure to review the information in our Career Guide on "red flags" to look out for when evaluating the legitimacy of a job or opportunity. This information can be found on page 63 of the Career Guide

Have research, scholarship, or creative work you want to present? Find out how!


Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) features research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits, performances, and film. Over 300 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor’s on-going projects.  They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated.This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC’s commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.

All current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship or creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at URCAD. Mentors, fellow students, friends, family members, high school teachers and students, graduate school recruiters, and the general public are invited to attend.

Brian D. Hanson, Jr. is a Meyerhoff Scholar and a McNair Scholar, majoring in Computer Engineering, who will graduate in spring, 2020. 

Title of your research project: 
Fabrication of a Wearable Temperature Sensing System for CIPA Patients
Lab Partners (pictured L-R): Adam Der, (Mentor) Dr. Gymama Slaughter, Morgan Freeman, Brian D. Hanson, Jr.

The purpose of this project was to develop a temperature sensing system that could be integrated into a glove to enable people who could not interpret the environmental hazards associated with temperature. Patients with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA) are a population who cannot interpret temperature therefore the creation of this system would serve as a tool to assist with increasing their level of independence in activities of daily living such as cooking for themselves.

Who is your mentor for your project? 
My mentor is Dr. Gymama Slaughter from the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Department.

How did you find your mentor?
I found Dr. Slaughter by word of mouth from other Meyerhoff Scholars who were current students in her lab. To secure my position in working in her lab in Summer 2018, I visited Dr. Slaughter after one of her classes even though I was not taking the course to express my interest.

Why did you choose them?
I chose Dr. Slaughter with hopes that she would give me an opportunity to continue my aspirations of conducting summer research and diversifying my experience as an undergraduate researcher aiming towards graduate study. I was not aware of her excellent skill set with developing proficient researchers prior to reaching out to her. Moreover, she demonstrated as a mentor for her students how we should work together, study the problems we are researching, and uphold a standard of excellent when presenting our work.

How did you become interested in this project?
I became interested in this project by informing Dr. Slaughter what my interests were in regard to conducting research as a junior. I had summer research experiences as a freshman and sophomore in the fields of Human Computer Interaction at Iowa State University and Data Science at North Carolina State University respectively.

What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? 
The most challenging aspect of my research was developing a wireless implementation of the temperature sensing system with an Arduino. It was very unexpected to receive so much support from Dr. Slaughter such that she was willing to enter our research for consideration at an international conference.

What has been the most rewarding part?
The most rewarding aspect of working as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Slaughter lab is having the professional relationship with her as a mentor. I have expressed to her how determined I am to reach graduate studies and she has provided nothing but guidance to help me along my path. 

How will you disseminate your research?
I will disseminate our research as an URCAD presentation during the Spring 2019 semester. On behalf of the UMBC McNair Scholars Program Summer Research Institute (SRI), I have presented this research at the 2018 SAEOPP McNair/SSS Scholars Research Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? 
I encourage any student to get involved with research because you never know what passions you can discover or who you can help by doing this kind of work. For some people it may challenging at first but conducting research can have so much of an impact on your community based on how you make it.

What are your career goals?
My career goals are to pursue a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in the field of Rehabilitation Sciences and Technology with a focus on Micro-fabrication of Assistive Technology devices.  My goal is to develop initiatives that improve the quality of life for people who are veterans, disabled, or have diseases that impede their ability to enjoy their lives.
