Two Entrepreneurs Receive Undergraduate Research Awards
Meet Drue Nixon and Mia Rickenbach, ENTR URA Scholars!
In partnership with the Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship, two UMBC students have been awarded the new Entrepreneurship URA Award for 2018-19. They will receive $1500 to start their idea and get their social entrepreneurship project going.
Drue Nixon (Interdisciplinary Studies)Project Title: Ella and Ida Summer CampMentor - Gib MasonThe contributions that black women have made to major social movements such as the civil rights movement, has been largely ignored in historical texts. In many books and texts, authors center their narrative around a male figure who somehow organized the entire movement. In contrast, black women are often portrayed as supportive figures to men. This narrative marginalizes the stories of black women. For many years, comic books were viewed as a source of entertainment for children. In recent years, more and more educators are seeing the benefit of utilizing comic books in the classroom. Comics can possibly help visual learners who process information better by studying pictures and images.
The goal of Ella & Ida Comics Summer Camp is to not only teach young girls about the black women’s contributions to nineteenth- twentieth century social movements, but to also teach them how to produce a short historical comic book.
Mia Rickenbach (Theatre Design and Production)Project Title: Create FreedomMentor: Nataniel SinnottMany people are unaware of the realities of modern-day slavery and human trafficking. Many people who are aware of these issues feel they are powerless to take action for change. Many organizations that are fighting modern-day slavery are underfunded and unable to make a larger impact than they already are. Create Freedom is an idea to change these three circumstances: to raise awareness, to empower change-makers, and to fund fighters. Two years ago, a group of students at UMBC gathered together on Shine a Light on Slavery Day to create works of art with donated time, talent and materials. These pieces of art were then shared, sold online, and sold in the UMBC community. This raised over $300 for The Samaritan Women, engaged students in discussions about human trafficking, and empowered artists to use their skills to make a change. Moving forward, Create Freedom can become a vast network of artists, partnered in the fight against modern-day slavery. Thankfully, lawmakers are taking greater action to address this issue, but I believe art will be the catalyst for the social change necessary to end this slavery. When everyday people are made more aware of the realities of trafficking, they can identify and oppose its workings in their own communities. In addition, as we partner with more organizations and build greater trust, there is the exciting opportunity of engaging survivors themselves in this process. Through art therapy, rescued trafficking victims can tell their stories. Create Freedom could empower their stories to be shared, heard, and sold to benefit the organizations that have helped them. (Mia will be presenting part of this work at URCAD on April 25th from 10-11:30am in the UC Ballroom).

Take Back the Night 2018 Roundup!
On April 12th 2017, UMBC hosted Take Back the Night. The night began with an introduction by the emcees and march leaders, Morgan, Ellie, and Autumn, and Women’s Center staff member, Samiksha.

After the introduction was the survivor speak-out. The speak-out is the heart and soul of Take Back the Night. Survivors are encouraged to come up and share their story with the crowd before the march throughout campus. As a survivor, sharing your story at TBTN allows you to acknowledge your experience with others who believe and support you.

We then moved on to the march portion of the night, where we got loud and chanted in support of victims of sexual violence. We Believe You, an activist group dedicated to ending sexual violence, led the march, the survivor circle of care, and a private discussion in the Women’s Center following the march.
The survival circle is a new addition to Take Back the Night. At the peak of the march, everyone formed a circle around True Grit. Survivors were invited to the middle of the circle, while supporters chanted the refrain, “We see you. We believe you. You matter.” After the survival circle, the march back to Main Street commenced.

After the march, community members got back together for some craftivism! This part of the night is intended to provide space for reflection, creative expression, and community-building between survivors and supporters alike.

Thank you so much to everyone for a powerful and moving evening. Thank you to every survivor for sharing their story, to every ally who supported the survivors, and a special thank you to all the volunteers and We Believe You members who made TBTN possible!
If you weren’t able to make it, here are some resources:
Sexual Assault Awareness Month is all of April and we still have many events happening throughout the month. Check out the SAAM calendar for other upcoming events you can attend!

Iman Said @URCAD XXII
Wed April 25 | UC Ballroom | Time: 1 – 2:30 p.m
Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25, Psychology major Iman Said will present her research "The Role of Socioeconomic Status on the Relationship Between Number of Marginalized Identities and Mental Health".
Despite the correlation between experiences of marginalization and negative mental health outcomes, little research exists regarding the effect of socioeconomic status on this relationship. Although socioeconomic status can increase access to resources (e.g., healthcare, therapy, higher education) the impact of these privileges on the mental health of marginalized individuals is understudied.

Finding Professional Success in the Arts
Attend Arts with a Purpose to make the most of your degree!
Spring has finally sprung, and Career Month is in full swing! There have already been so many fantastic events, like IBM-UMBC Day, and the CAHSS Careers Conference. There is another upcoming event I’d especially like to highlight: Arts with a Purpose! This event is made just for our creative majors, including visual arts, graphic design, cinematic arts, film/video, theatre, dance, music, MCS, and INDS. If you fit these majors, come to this event to gain advice from professionals and get a chance to network with them!
UMBC has a strong undergraduate liberal arts foundation, but it’s no secret that there is a pretty strong STEM presence here. Biology is the largest department on campus, and it seems like employers are only looking for students with lab experience or tech experience. I understand that trying to pursue your passion in the arts can be disheartening at times, but here at the Career Center we want to ensure you that your career goals are valid and you will achieve them!
Arts with a Purpose is an event that Career Center has held for several years now, and it is not only a place to hear the stories of people who have succeeded in making a living creating things they are passionate about, it is also a great opportunity to network and make connections with those people. Personal networking is one of the best way to find jobs AND land jobs. This event will have 20 employers, including several offices here at UMBC looking to hire students in the arts. How can you best be prepared?
Make a 30-second commercial: this should be a clear and concise tool to communicate the skills you have and the goals for your future. Make sure you practice it so you can convey yourself with confidence!
Do some research on the employers: we have a full list of the employers attending, so check out who you might be interested in so that you go in with a game plan.
Have your resume and/or portfolio ready to go: Bring plenty of copies of your resume to give to employers, and you can even sign up for a 15-minute portfolio review! All students in relevant majors will be sent an email about the event that includes a sign-up for the portfolio reviews.
Be ready to listen: We are bringing in some great panelists that have endless advice to give, so make sure you are taking it all in - and take notes!
We want ALL students at UMBC to feel they have a chance at success, so this event is designed for all of our creative majors to have that chance. Keep a lookout for all the other great events happening this month as part of Career Month!

We know you need brain fuel...
So yes, you can eat in the Library!
Food is allowed in AOK Library and the RLC. Drinks are too, but in a covered container please! We do ask that you avoid pricey equipment like photocopiers, printers, computers, microform readers, the Digital Media Lab, and Special Collections.
Spills sometimes happen - please clean up as best you can and alert library staff so they can check books and furniture for damage. Paper towels are available in the bathroom if you need them.
And when you’re finished, toss your trash in a bin! There are several on each floor. Happy studying!
