Linda Wiratan wins Prestigious Goldwater Scholarship!
Future leader in STEM research
UMBC junior Linda Wiratan has been awarded the Goldwater scholarship for 2018. Yasmin Graham earned an Honorable Mention.
Linda is a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major with a minor in Creative Writing. She is a member of the Honors College, a URA Scholar and URCAD presenter, and a published poet in Bartleby, UMBC's creative arts journal. Her mentor is Dr. Hua Lu and her current research is entitled, "Investigation of Effects of Elicitor-Induced Defense Activation on the Circadian Clock in Arabidopsis." She will present her research poster at URCAD on Wednesday, April 25th from 10-11:30 am in the UC Ballroom.
Linda joins UMBC's past Goldwater recipients who have earned this prestigious award. As a representative of science, she hopes to improve its public perception by advancing its approachability. To this end, in addition to all of her academic achievements, Linda is the founder of City of Cells, LLC, a science-focused organization with the mission of improving the public perception of science through interactive and creative means such as blogs, science-inspired products, and educational animation. She will pursue a Ph.D. in Cell or Molecular Biology and conduct protein dynamics research. She has won various awards for her research posters, and has consistently been named to the Dean’s and President’s lists at UMBC. She has co-authored four articles with her mentors, Dr. Hua Lu and Dr. Marcin Ptaszek, in peer reviewed journals, including Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Letters, and Nature Communications (under review). The paper which Linda co-authored was selected as a cover article in the current issue of Inorganic Chemistry, and she also made the graphics for the cover. She was selected from a pool of 1280 applicants for the Goldwater scholarship. The award supports high-achieving STEM students who will pursue careers as research scientists, and will support Linda with funding for her senior academic year.
Yasmin Graham is a junior Mechanical Engineering major, a Meyerhoff and MARC U* STAR Scholar, and LSAMP participant. She earned Goldwater's honorable mention.
Congratulations to Linda and Yasmin!

Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2018 Calendar of Events
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Every 107 seconds, someone in America is sexually assaulted.
Approximately 4/5 of rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.
Survivors of sexual assault are 3 times more likely to suffer from depression.
These are just a few statistics to highlight why this month of awareness is so very important for our campus and our greater community. We have several events this April that will honor the voices and experiences of survivors of sexual assault. Additionally, there are events that will seek to raise awareness about sexual assault and the importance of effective consent.
The event calendar is attached to this post. Please feel free to download, mark your calendar with the events you plan on attending, and share the word with other students, staff, and faculty.
Highlighted Events:

make in the Women's Center during the week of April 9th).
Tuesday, April 17th on Erickson Lawn from 12-6pm
Quilt Making Workshop in the Women's Center from 5-6:30pm
The Monument Quilt is a crowd-sourced collection of thousands of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. By stitching our stories together, we are creating and demanding public space to heal. Supplies will be provided. All are welcome.
We need MANY volunteers to help set-up and take-down the Monument Quilt. You can sign up to volunteer here.
Throughout all of April, opportunities to make shirts for UMBC's Clothesline Project will be made available in the Women's Center. Community members wishing to make a shirt can let someone at the front desk know they are interested in making a shirt and a staff member will be able to assist you.

Intern of the Week: Arnold Epanda for Computer Science!
Check out his internship with Lockheed Martin
Name: Arnold Epanda
Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Lockheed Martin
Position Title: Software Engineer Intern
Major(s)/Minor(s):Computer Science
Work Term:Summer 2017
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
As the fall semester was coming to an end, I received a phone call from Sikorsky Aircraft, before a United Technology company and now a Lockheed Martin company to help in building their perception and autonomy work. I passed the interview, was given an offer and stipend for travel relocation since the workplace was in Stratford CT, miles away from my hometown Maryland.
I was super excited to intern with this company for two reasons: First, I felt a sense of connection with my interviewers (three at the time) because it seemed like they heard about UMBC already, for they asked quite a few questions about the school and after I gave them my feedback about the school I am attending, they acknowledged at the end of the interview that it was a great college to go to. Their view of UMBC enhanced my confidence about the school and was a reason to further accept their offer. Second, it was my first time interning away from home, receiving travel stipends, and preparing to live in Connecticut sate. Therefore, it was the perfect opportunity to have a fun summer, working on fun projects, meeting new people and knowing that I would have to build software that could impact on millions of lives.
When it came to saying YES/NO for my offer, I went for a YES and my role was to write algorithms with a lot of performance emphasis that will be integrated into their perception system.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
Of course, there are a lot of organizations out there willing to help students succeed.
I have never really thought of using these organizations in order to apply for internships until one of my friends, now a software engineer in Texas, recommended INROADS to me, a non-profit organization that aims to place minorities student in tech and big corporations.
I received coaching interviews throughout that program, resume reviews and was then called for an interview. Plus, INROADS send your resume to companies. Therefore, you do not need to worry about looking for these big corporations, for they come to you.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
Curiosity. Not being afraid to ask questions and having great team partners that are willing to see you succeed.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
By being my best-self, being genuine, and having fun with everyone.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Search for non-profit organizations that are willing to help - plenty of them exist. Have friends in your area of study, which I consider to be very important. Go out and meet people, do not wait for them to come to you. Make friends everywhere. Prep for interviews, get resume reviews, go to careers fairs, pray, and be patient.
