About Chesapeake Shakespeare Company

The Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) is offering paid internship focused on the digitization of MCHC collections. The intern will perform scanning, metadata cleanup and enhancement of our digital collection’s resources. This is an opportunity for a student or recent graduate to gain hands-on technical experience in object handling, digital imaging, technical writing, inclusive language, and digital accessibility. The intern will work under the direction of the Director of Digital Collections and Initiatives and have opportunities to intersect with Special Collections Archivists, Museum Educators, and Curatorial staff throughout their work.

Hi Retriever Entrepreneurs! The Shriver Center is looking for a cohort of students to participate in UMBC’s Intercultural Engagement Prep course in SP25 semester. This course is designed to grow your intercultural competency and skills. It also serves as the introduction for students interested in UMBC’s Peace Corps Prep Program.   

This program is open to:

• International students (You are already in your intercultural experience!)
• Future or returned study abroad students (Prep for or reflect upon your abroad experience!)
• Students interested in applying to the Peace Corps or similar international service programs after graduation (Get ready to learn and serve abroad!)
• Students who have an interest in preparing for other intercultural experiences or international development careers (Is this the path for you?!)
• Students who want to prepare themselves as global citizens in a multicultural world (Everyone, right?)

As a participant in the Intercultural Engagement Prep pilot program, you will:

• Meet other globally-minded students at UMBC;
• Develop your critical analytical skills;
• Increase your cultural self-awareness and critically reflect on your own unconscious bias;
• Develop strategies to improve your intercultural communication and how you’ll apply it in your future career;
• Recognize cultural differences, commonalities, perceptions, power and privilege dynamics, and how they can lead to conflict; and
• Understand the importance of intercultural dialogue and intercultural citizenship competencies for fostering social justice.

This non-credit/no-fee course, PRAC 103 (course # 6928), will meet twice in the Spring 2025 semester at a mutually agreeable time, but the majority of the course is accessed through asynchronous learning. Students will be required to attend two globally themed events or activities and will also have independent assignments to complete in Blackboard. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will earn two UMBC certified digital badges titled Increasing Cultural Self-Awareness and Reinforcing Intercultural Dialogue.

You can register for the course under PRAC 103 and course number 6928 in the SP25 Schedule of Classes.

Hope to have you join!
