SWE Conference Carpool

SWE Conference Carpool Please fill out ASAP Hi SWEethearts,

If you are going to conference or plan to, please fill out this spreadsheet as soon as possible (there are lots of columns, be sure to scroll all the way through)

https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/spreadsheets/d/1-wPjpC6ZvBNYVUscNlgmEGXxZ2vb2lElDchAovs59Iw/edit?usp=sharing

If you can DRIVE, you can be reimbursed for mileage, special instructions will follow for that.

Also, we will not be funding lodging, even though we were going to attempt to, so if you signed up for all three days you will need to make arrangements for yourselves. I suggest using the carpool list as a source of contacts. People could share rooms or even Airbnb.

Do you like free food? Did you miss the Fall Career and Internship Fair? Are you worried about finding an internship? Do you want experience networking with employers? If your answers to any of these questions were “yes,” then consider registering for UMBC’s Diversity Recruitment Event! The event, co-hosted by UMBC’s Career Center and the National Society of Black Engineers, is on Wednesday, October 19, 2016, from 5 to 8 PM in the UC Ballroom.

Pre-registration is required, and today (October 12), is the last day to do so. You can click here to register for the event.

The Diversity Recruitment Event is like the Fall Career and Internship Fair, but it is smaller, with 32 employers registered to attend. This is great news for students! There are more opportunities for you to network with representatives and make a memorable impression.

Not only that, but you have a chance to get career advice from someone who knows what you are going through. That’s something that I lose sight of a lot; these professionals have valuable experiences that they got only after they were once just like me; a college student living off of Salsaritas and gummy worms. They know our struggle and can give us advice on how to get where we want to go.

There’s a false misconception that the Diversity Recruitment Event only invites employers looking to hire STEM majors. There are plenty of companies coming that want to recruit students from allmajors. Plus, you never know where exploring your options can take you. You might find out you’re interested in a subject you never even considered because you learned of different career paths or opportunities you can take when you study that subject.

You can find a list of employers coming to recruit you here. Take the time to do your research if you choose to attend the event! The best way to tailor your experiences to what an employer is looking for is by researching what they want in a candidate. You can do this by looking at their job descriptions and announcements.

Make sure to dress professionally (here are some tips to help you with that) and bring plenty of resumes to distribute to the employers! The other day I went to an information session, and the representative told us all that she would email us directly, even before submitting an application, simply because we gave her a copy of our resumes at the networking event. If you want your resume looked at beforehand, drop in hours are 2-4 PM at the Career Center (2nd floor of Math & Psych), and 6-8 PM Tuesday and Wednesday in the Library’s Writing Center.

There’s also a number of different prizes you can win and a free dinner. I’m pretty sure there’s a group of students on campus who make it their mission to find all the free food on campus, so take note of that.

Again, pre-registration is required and today is the last day to do so. Take advantage of this amazing opportunity organized by your school! You never know what you’ll learn about yourself and what you want to do with your future when you go out and talk to people who actually work in the field that you’re interested in.

The Women’s Center has officially kicked off our roundtable series for the fall semester! We call this series Our Bodies, Ourselves, specifically focusing on personal embodiment and the intersections of identity that come along with existing as a body. This event, specifically called Beauty Embodied, introduced the semester-long discussion of diverse embodied experiences.

our beautiful roundtable flyer

Beginning this ongoing series, The Women’s Center invited three panelists to open up the conversation of embodied beauty. Alumnus Crystal Ogar, Dr. Medulene Shomali of the Gender and Women’s Studies department, and our very own assistant director Megan Tagle Adams served as our panelists!

We spent the next hour complicating the notions of beauty, femininity and privileges associated with who gets to embrace ideals of beauty. All panelists spoke about the privilege and racialization of specific beauty standards and stereotypes. We discussed at great length who has access to conventional beauty. Women of color specifically have a lot of challenges associating with conventional beauty, as the hegemonic view of westernized beauty is white, thin and able-bodied. All panelists identified as women of color, and were able to draw upon their various identities to share their experiences with racially exclusionary beauty.

Crystal encouraged us to find the beauty within everyone, to notice the little things that make a person beautiful, and to complicate beauty further by understanding that looks are not the complete picture of a person, as there are so many factors that go into being a beautiful human outside of external appearance.

Both Megan and Dr. Shomali allowed the group time to deconstruct our definitions of beauty. Beauty and femme identity isn’t inherently a feminist stance to take, and shaving your legs or putting on makeup in the morning doesn’t necessarily have to be a feminist act. No one is more or less of a feminist for the way that they present their bodies. Megan said it best- instead of the feminist manifesto being written in red lipstick, she suggested that it could be written while wearing red lipstick. The act of wearing lipstick is not what makes or breaks a feminist, and the most important thing is to allow personal expression to be encompassed in ideals of beauty.

Dr. Shomali took it even further, proposing the radical notion that beauty isn’t actually necessary. Instead of trying to broaden the term of “beauty” to include all walks of people, we could decide to throw out beauty as an important concept to begin with. Both Crystal and Dr. Shomali posed that ‘ugly’ should not equal “bad”, and that it is perfectly fine to not be beautiful- it does not take away of a person’s humanness to not have access to or even care about beauty.

Overall, Beauty Embodied was a great success, with lots of dynamic discussion from the panelists and the women’s center communities. We questioned and unpacked our notions of beauty and femininity, engaging with our own experiences of living in an aesthetic world.

Meet Himadri,

She is a double major (Biological Sciences & Interdisciplinary Studies) and an URA Scholar. She is also a Teaching Assistant for the Chemistry Discovery Center and a Tutor for the Learning Resources Center. If research is in your future, Himadri recommends getting started in the process early on so that you have enough time to get involved in a lab, learn and discover if research is your passion. Her future plans are to pursue a career as a physician, possibly specializing in the field of Neurology.

Her research involves in examining stress-induced analgesia (SIA), the phenomenon in which exposure to intense stress suppresses the perception of pain. From an evolutionary perspective, SIA is part of the adaptive fight-or-flight response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system that enhances an individual’s ability to survive a crisis situation; pain suppression is a critical component of this response as it enables individuals to escape a threat even if they have sustained an injury.
