Employer Information Sessions - Spring 2013
Information sessions are a great opportunity to meet one-on one with company recruiters, to network, and to gather information on potential employers (and as a bonus, many employers offer food during their session). Information sessions offer students the chance to make a great, in-person impression.
The following employers will be at UMBC this semester to meet with students to discuss their organizations and employment opportunities. These sessions offer students the chance to network and really prepare for the application process and/or interviews with the hosting organizations. Please RSVP via the Events tab in your UMBCworks account (access myUMBC under the Jobs & Internships topic in myUMBC). The complete employer information session schedule can be viewed here.

Co-Create UMBC @ 5
644 posts and 5 years ago this week, I launched Co-Create UMBC.
At the beginning, there were no Real People Profiles, no participation from faculty and staff, and no long strings of comments from readers. The audience I imagined for my posts was limited to the 30-40 SGA members (SGA was a much smaller organization back then) not in the room with me at the moment. I wanted to share some of the stories and ideas from my one-to-one conversations with them. And I wanted to talk about my own vulnerabilities, and my own process of learning how to be an effective human being and citizen, to make it OK for students to experience their own imperfections and growth as something other than traumatic and isolating. The entire first semester, Co-Create UMBC attracted half the number of views it now gets in a week.
Much has changed. I'm more confident in my intuitions about how to say things. But in a way, I still I'm still discovering my voice and my purposes. I know I want to make UMBC visible to itself as a community co-created by all of its members. I want the people at UMBC to see and know each other as human beings, not merely as roles like "professor" and "student." And I still want to name my own struggles, past and present, when doing so can help set someone else free. My favorite moments as a blogger have been the ones when people have shared how they have become conscious of their thought patterns by identifying with mine, or able to name a hope or fear because I did so in a post. I'm grateful to everyone who has ever shared those thoughts with me.
In case you're wondering, this is the most-viewed post of all time, which is kind of funny because I said very little (but provided a link to something provocative). This is my favorite personal story I've shared, although if you're willing to read my two epic multi-chapter sagas (one about quitting a law firm, one about the implosion of my undergraduate student government), please help yourself. This is my favorite piece of Co-Create UMBC social/political commentary. And I have treasured the reaction to this post the most (I've re-posted each year), because years ago this list was simply my way of coping with life.
So what topics should Co-Create UMBC tackle in the years ahead? What new series could complement the Real People Profiles and help reveal the UMBC community to itself? What conversation starters would prompt you to share? Leave a comment, and let's get this next half-decade started.

Your UMBC Bucket List
We have a fine tradition at UMBC (now one year old): At the beginning of the academic year, we share our lists of things we'd like to do while we're here. My UMBC Bucket List includes seeing performances in every venue in the new Performing Arts & Humanities Building, participating in my third Election Night Extravaganza (this November), advising a student organization other than SGA (already advised SGA, loved it), and completing my Ph.D.
So what's on your bucket list? Take a look at the lists people posted last year for inspiration, then please share. After that, let's hold each other accountable for following through. I didn't do so well at checking off items from my list from last year. Did you?

Researcher of the Week: Manpreet Suri
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
When did you join the Ronald E. McNair (REM) program?
I was accepted as a McNair Scholar for the 2011-2012 academic year (REM 20).
How did you find out about McNair?
I found out through a friend who was applying.
What have you gained from being a McNair scholar?
I gained many valuable skill sets including: independent study skills, the ability to critique research, interpersonal skills, and the importance of fostering the mentor relationship.
What is your most recent independent research project?
I am working on creating a device that assists the visually impaired in reading Braille.
How did you find your mentor for this project?
I searched the Department of Information Systems for a professor doing research in the area of assistive technologies and Human Centered Computing. I came across Dr. Shaun Kane, who has done much work in these areas.
How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
I didn’t, Dr. Shaun Kane gave me a list of projects in his lab to pick from. I wasn’t able to decide at first, but the opportunity to create a novel device really excited me.
How much time did you put into it?
I spent two hours every Friday during the spring 2012 semester working on the proposal and literature review. I worked about five to eight hours a day Monday through Friday for my summer Research Fellowship.
What academic background did you have before you started?
I was a Mechanical Engineering major for a semester, then I switched to Information Systems for its interdisciplinary nature.
How much did your mentor help you with your research?
My mentor introduced me to the topic and potential directions for the research. I am doing all of the research as an independent study under his guidance.
What has been the hardest part about your research?
The most difficult part of my research is iterative prototyping. This is a cyclic process of designing, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process.
What was the most unexpected thing?
There is no one unexpected thing. The process of design is always unexpected because design, like fashion, changes very rapidly and constantly. Design is always improving.
How does your research relate to your work in other classes?
As an Information Systems major, I learn to work with computer hardware, software people, and the design process. I get to take what I learned in class and apply it directly to a real world problem.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Research is a challenging yet rewarding way of exploring your interests. It is not for everyone. However, this should not dissuade you from attempting it, you might discover that you enjoy it and realize a passion of yours.
What are your career goals?
I aspire to go to graduate school and then work in the government in Network Security Administration.
