Jessie Cooley, passionate about Archery, MacGyver, and MATH!
UMBC's Math Lab Tutors are in the Library, waiting to help!
Tell
us a little about yourself.
Hi. My name is Jessie.
I am a sophomore math major and computer science minor. I enjoy playing a
variety of sports with my friends and I also play an uncommonly known
instrument called a Bowed Psaltery. I am a counselor for a scout-like group
called Pathfinders. My favorite show is MacGyver and I have a huge passion for
math.
Tell
us about how you are involved on campus.
I am involved in a couple
campus clubs. I am a part of Alpha and Omega as well as the newly formed
archery club and I am a tutor for the Math Lab.
How
and why did you get involved in being a tutor?
A professor encouraged
me to apply to learn how to teach math. I also have learned that not only am I
able to help other people understand math, tutoring many classes requires me to
be proficient in the topics from each class I have taken. Teaching is one way
to really know that you understand the material and helps to keep that knowledge
fresh in my mind with the added bonus of helping my peers.
What
is your favorite thing about being a tutor?
I love the moment when
the person I am working with really grasps the concept. But the most satisfying
thing is when that person then turns and begins explaining the concept to
someone else.
Why
should students utilize the tutoring?
First of all, it’s
free. There is no pressure for you to understand things right off the bat. We
help you learn at your own pace. You also don’t have to come in regularly,
although you are welcome to, if you have one topic that you find tricky, we can
just work on that area.
What
advice would you give students about how to prepare for
a tutoring session?
To prepare for a
tutoring session it is good to think about what topics or maybe a certain type
of question you will need help in. Also being prepared with the materials you
might need such as class notes, pencils, and scrap paper will make our time
together the most productive.
When
and where can someone work with you through the Learning Resources Center?
I work at the Math Lab
on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3pm to 6pm but
there are many tutors ready to help. The Math Lab is located on the first floor
of the library. You just walk through the book detectors at the front and turn
right, then keep walking in that direction until you get to the LRC desk.

Training
OCSS student staff must attend training sessions prior to the fall and spring semesters. Student staff will be expected to assist during Welcome Week- the last weekend before classes. Student staff will work an average of 5-10hours per week, as well as attend weekly team specific meetings on Fridays at 12pm. If you are unable to attend the training or meet this time commitment, you cannot serve as an OCSS student staff member.

Mia Rickenbach @URCAD XXII
Wed April 25 | UC Ballroom | Time: 1 – 2:30 p.m.
Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25 where Theatre student Mia Rickenbach will present her visual research, "Seeing the Stories: How Art Can Impact Human Trafficking Awareness".
This research was a study of theatrical scenic art, which evolved into a project investigating the impact of visual storytelling on human trafficking awareness. The study of scenic art included working in large-scale, trompe l’oeil illusion painting, matching paint color, and faux finishes such as marble and wood grain. These techniques were developed at Cobalt Studios’ Summer Scene Painting, and employed in the scenic design and painting of UMBC’s Department of Theatre productions.

Ethan Griffin @URCAD XXII
Wed April 25 | UC 312 | Time: 11:30 – 11:45 a.m.
Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25, where Interdisciplinary Studies major Ethan Griffin will present his research “Urban Transportation Landscapes: A GIS and Political Historical Narrative of Baltimore’s Transportation Deficiency” in UC 312 at 11:30 a.m.
The intent of the research is to represent the extent of Baltimore City’s transportation deficiency through the use of an interdisciplinary mixed method analysis utilizing the lens of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Political History. Metropolitan transportation is a complex network of mobility which contributes to the success of tangential urban systems which include but are not limited to access to green space, education and economics.

Sad news for the UMBC community
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Dr. Cedric Herring, professor and director of the language, literacy, and culture doctoral program, passed away last night. Dr. Herring made enormous contributions to UMBC in just four years; his colleagues and students have learned from his example, his scholarship, and his commitment to making the academic world more inclusive and just.
Additional information and a fuller tribute will be shared with the campus in the coming days. For now, please join in doing all that we can to support his spouse and our colleague, Dr. Loren Henderson, assistant professor of sociology, anthropology, and health administration and policy, and their family, as well as his colleagues and students, at this difficult time.
Scott Casper, Dean, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
