Researcher of the Week: Zachary Nicholas
Pressures on Parents of Children with Special Needs
Zachary Nicholas is a current URA Scholar, a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and an Anthropology and Biology major (Dec. '19)
Title of your research project: Deciphering Cultural Roles and Social Pressure on Parents of Children with Special Needs
Describe your project: I will be examining what social factors influence decisions made by parents of children with special needs. I will also be looking at how the world around children with special needs is typically regulated by people without special needs and how that may be biased and affect their development and childhood.
Who is your mentor for your project?
Dr. Bambi Chapin, Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration and Policy
How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them?
Dr. Chapin has been my faculty advisor since I transferred to UMBC in fall 2017. In fall 2019, I was in one of Dr. Chapin’s classes and that is when I realized that our research interests were similar. I thought she would be the right person to oversee my project with her extensive knowledge on parent-child relationships and children’s cognitive development.
How did you become interested in this project?
I have always been interested in topics like genetics, genomics, heredity, and human history. While trying to narrow down on my future career choices, I was shadowing prenatal genetic counselors. With each case, I wanted to know what was going through the parents’ minds when either there was a high risk for their child having a genetic disease or their child was diagnosed. There seemed to be bountiful layers and possibilities on what affected those parents when it came to making a decision to either get tested to know if the child has a disease for sure, or not to risk doing a procedure that causes a higher miscarriage rate. The variability in parents’ responses is what got my mind wanting to know more on the subject.
What has been the hardest part about your research/What was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The most unexpected aspects of this project have been how difficult it is to get permission to conduct qualitative observational research in a medical setting and how effortlessly the subject and focus of your project can change based off the data that is produced.
What has been the most rewarding part?
When the parents, siblings, and health practitioners of the children with special needs get a chance to express their thoughts about the subject it is beautiful to watch. It is something that is a huge part of their lives and is also something that they are passionate about, yet they rarely can talk freely about how they feel on the subject.
How will you disseminate your research?
I will conduct a PowerPoint presentation at URCAD and plan to publish my paper as a short ethnography.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Do not be afraid to put in extra work when it comes to your project. It will be a reflection of you and will be a time where you can explore your academic interests in depth.
What are your career goals?
After graduating from UMBC, I plan to attain my Ph.D. in Genetics. I would like to either become a professor or work in the Biological Science Research Industry.

Good Morning Retrievers!
It is the first day of National Tutor Appreciation Week and what better way to celebrate than to get to know one of our tutors! Today's tutor is Hannah Ramcharan! Hailing all the way from Frederick, MD, Hannah has tutored Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science for the Academic Success Center for two semesters. Let's find out some more interesting facts about Hannah!
Tell us a little bit about yourself!
Hi! My name is Hannah Ramcharan and I am originally from Frederick MD. I am currently a junior majoring in bioinformatics. For the past two semesters, I have worked at the Academic Success Center and enjoy tutoring students in bio, chem, math, and comp sci classes.
Outside of being a tutor, how else are you involved on campus?
To keep myself involved around campus, I am currently the treasurer of the Apartments Community Council where I have the opportunity to plan community building events for residents. Additionally, I am on the Student Health and Counseling Advisory Council where I meet with the members of the council to talk about how we can promote mental health and wellness around campus. I am also currently working in Dr. Lobos lab doing RNA sequencing research with bacteria and planetarium to further develop mathematical models.
Why did you decide to be a tutor?
Being able to see students grow in their academics and develop good study habits was one of the primary reasons why wanted to become involved in tutoring.
What do you love about being a tutor?
I really enjoy witnessing students get a sense of satisfaction when something finally clicks, and times when my student comes back with the news that they passed the exam with flying colors because it shows that their hard work has paid off.
How should a student prepare for a tutoring session with you?
A student who comes in well prepared usually has questions or topic in mind that they would like to go over. It is important that they know what they don't know because that where I would come in to help! Last but not least, having an open mind is key so that they are able to think about new ways to solve a problem.
How can someone meet with you through the Academic Success Center?
A student can stop by drop in tutoring, or they can make an appointment in Sherman Hall to have weekly tutoring sessions. My tutees usually ask me when I have hours for drop in tutoring in the Academic Success Center, and we try to coordinate our time accordingly.
Hannah is one of our amazing tutors and SI/PASS leaders that we are highlighting during National Tutor Appreciation Week, and we appreciate her sharing her love of tutoring with us.
Follow us on myUMBC to see who we highlight tomorrow.

October is Disability Awareness Month
Celebrate the diversity of disability
National Disability Awareness Month is a national campaign held in October that raises awareness about issues for people with disabilities, and celebrates the many and varied contributions of Americans with disabilities.
NDAM's roots go back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with various types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to "National Disability Awareness Month."
Americans with disabilities make up almost one-fifth of our population. Since the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by the 41st Present George H.W. Bush on July 26th 1990. There have been huge strides in accessibility and inclusion. People with disabilities still face discrimination and lack of understanding.
The Presidential Proclamation of 2015 states: “America is at its strongest when we harness the talents and celebrate the distinct gifts of all our people. This October, as we observe the 70th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, let us pay tribute to all who fought for better laws, demanded better treatment, and overcome ignorance and indifference to make our Nation more perfect. In their honor, and for the betterment of generations of Americans to come, let us continue the work of removing obstacles to employment so every American has the chance to develop their skills and make their unique mark on the world we share.”
Disability Awareness Events:
We hope to see you there!
Name: Warren Leggett
Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Schneider Electric
Position Title: Pre-Construction Engineer Intern
Major(s)/Minor(s): Mechanical Engineering
Current Class Level: Senior
Work Term: Summer 2019
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or
research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
My day-to-day tasks can be anything between
rendering cost estimates on a control system, to being in the field at a job
site working on the systems hardware. Most of my work has focused on the design
of control systems such as HVAC and other building automation systems. I have
also had the opportunity to work on advanced projects that have required data
and design analysis.
Describe the process of obtaining your position.
When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I discovered this position
through UMBCworks. I had previously received a lot of interview and resume
training through workshops and professional development sessions hosted by the
National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), so I was well prepared for the
interview process.
What have you enjoyed the most about your
position or organization?
I have enjoyed being able to
learn more about the industry and develop new skills throughout my day-to-day
work. I have also enjoyed meeting people who have helped me foster these skills
and be successful throughout the internship.
What advice would you give to another student
who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would advise students seeking employment to
network! Make those connections and gain knowledge through communicating with
other people. Sometimes the best way to get a foot in the door is to sneak in
with someone else. Also, the Career Center is a great tool to help jump start
your career, so take advantage of those resources!
