Intern of the Week: Sehar Zaheer for Financial Economics!
Check out Sehar's internship with Moss Adams!
Name: Sehar Zaheer
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Moss Adams
Position Title: GPS Operational Intern
Major or Program: Major: B.S in Financial Economics | Minor: Information Systems
Current Class Level: Junior
Work Term: Summer 2021
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
During Summer 2021, I was given an opportunity by Moss Adams (MA) to intern within their Portland, Oregon Office. Moss Adams is an accounting firm based on the West Coast with 25 offices in total. During my time with the MA Portland Office, I was able to shadow the Tax, Audit, and Consulting departments as well as work on operational projects with other interns. The shadowing experience was 3 weeks long, with 1 week in each department. This process allowed me to narrow down which department I wanted to work in as a full-time employee. Furthermore, the operational projects allowed me to be creative and develop my leadership skills.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
During the Spring 2021 semester, I found this opportunity on LinkedIn, however I narrowed my search to specifically opportunities within the Washington and Oregon states. Before applying for this internship, I thoroughly looked through the Moss Adams website to get as many details as I could about the company. In addition, I used platforms such Glassdoor to read reviews about the company from employees and previous interns. After I was confident in the company and had adequate information for my specific internship, I applied. The application process was done through the Moss Adams website. A week after applying, I heard back from a recruiter for my first round interview (mostly relating to technical questions). After doing this interview, I received an email saying that I was through to the second round interview (I generally chatted with 2 Manager/Director level employees). Soon after the second interview, I received an offer!
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
From reading about it in reviews and articles to experiencing it first hand, the best part about Moss Adams has to be the culture! Everyone is friendly and willing to help you in any way possible. I'll give a quick example: for a project during the internship, I had to reach out to different people within my office (of my choice). I decided to reach out to 2 firm partners. You would think their schedule is too packed to be able to sit down for a chat, but they made time. Thus, there are a lot of opportunities to network!
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I made an impact at Moss Adams through the charity fundraiser project. My team and I were able to raise $10,000 over 2 weeks time for the Oregon Parks Forever Charity. Our campaign was about replanting trees after the wildfires that happened in Oregon. $1 = 1 tree replanted, thus we replanted 10,000 trees!
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Do your research! Never apply without all the appropriate knowledge on the company, especially for interviews. And if you can, talk to current or recent employees/interns from the company you want to work at. People are the best resource!
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Know what you want out of the internship.

Hispanic Heritage: Luminaries with Disabilities
It's not just Frida Kahlo who has changed the world
Did you know there are 5.2 million
Latinx individuals in the U.S. who identify as living with a disability?
Please join us in celebrating the intersection of National Hispanic Heritage
Month with our Latinx disability community.
Description
of photo: Latinx voices for disability

September
15th marks the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrating those
whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South
America. September 15, 16 and 18 celebrate independence for at
least six of these countries - which is valued and celebrated especially by
community members and luminaries with disabilities. Respect
Ability shares their robust list of luminaries here - and while
it does mention Frida Kahlo, an artist who contracted polio at age 6 and
survived a horrific bus accident at 18, taking up painting during her recovery,
and leaving an indelible mark on the world - other luminaries include:
Mexican
writer and activist Gabriela
Brimmer whose life is chronicled in the 1987 film, Gaby: A True Story
Maria
Soledad Cisternas - Chilean lawyer and disability activist who was involved
with drafting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities and chaired that UN Committee, and served as Special Envoy.
Tony
Coelho Congressman from California and primary author and
sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and celebrated its 31st
Anniversary with President Biden.
Eva Middleton of Belize brought disability
awareness and justice to her home country of Belize.
Vik Pineda brings activism and advocacy
and awareness from his work on the west coast.
Annie
Segerra (also known as Annie Elainey) cites Frida Kahlo as a huge influence and has her YouTube channel here
Lizzie Velasquez 's Dare to Be Kind
anti-bullying campaign was informed by her lived experience with her peers and
online.
We share this invitation to celebrate Hispanic/LatinX heritage with Elizabeth
Acevedo's powerful poetry, calling forth beauty within the reach of her words.
For
campus resources and to request accommodations please reach out to Student Disability Services (for undergraduate
and graduate students) or Accessibility & Disability Service (employees with disabilities).

Women’s Center “This or That” Fall 2021 Scouts: Let the Challenge Begin!
“How can I join the Women’s Center?”
Well . . .
Do you hang out in our lounge? Do you come to our events? Do you read our blog or chat with our staff?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then congratulations! You are a part of the Women’s Center.
But we understand the feeling of being a part of something special. Showing your loyalty and commitment to a cause is empowering. Finding home and belonging in a space that means something to you, means something to us.
So, now, you can “join” the Women’s Center by being one of our fearless and loyal Scouts!
The Women’s Center Scouts program began several years ago in the spirit of the Pawnee Goddesses created by our friend Leslie Knope. Maybe you’ve also heard of the Girl Scouts? Radical Monarchs? Or Lumberjanes? Our Scouts program is kind of like that. Nonetheless, there are Women’s Center badges out there waiting to be earned!
Here’s the deal. To become a Women’s Center Scout, participate in our “This or That Scout Challenge!” Each Scout must meet the challenge by completing a set of 4 different challenges outlined by the Women’s Center throughout the fall semester. The challenges include:
-
1. Follow us on social media @womenscenterumbc on Twitter, Instagram, & on myUMBC!
- If you’re already a member and following one of our pages, great! You’re one step closer. After following us, comment/reply to one of our posts…
-
2. Spend time in the Women’s Center!
- Bring a friend to the Women’s Center and give them a tour!
-
OR go to one of our discussion group meetings! (Learn more by visiting our myUMBC page and visiting our discussion-based groups’ page)
-
3. Celebrate our 30th Anniversary!
Any UMBC community member who completes the challenge by December 1st gets a Women’s Center T-shirt and a shout-out on our social media pages!
Wear your Women’s Center t-shirt with pride. Jess and Ojus are showcasing this year’s Women’s Center t-shirt!
All UMBC students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate! Stop by the Women’s Center beginning Monday, September 27th to claim your Scout’s Card and get to work!
For questions, stop by the Women’s Center or email us at womenscenter@umbc.edu.

Considering Graduate or Professional School?
Check out some tips for beginning the Application Process!
Are you interested in Graduate or Professional school? As you explore programs and get started on the application process, here are some useful tips to keep in mind!
Take time to find the right program fit!
Is there something in your major or academic program that’s drawing you to consider applying to graduate or professional school? Don’t be afraid to start the conversation with advisors or professors in your academic department to start to think about pathways that might be right for you. UMBC faculty were once where you are right now, and will undoubtedly have great insight about the process or connections to programs that might interest you. Use your networks to your advantage!
Once you research programs that interest you, try to visit those schools – check out in-person and virtual admissions/recruitment events put on by the institutions and connect with the campus. You’ll have the opportunity to explore how the campus is laid out and learn about the surrounding area, housing options, and the studio/classroom/lab facilities. Ultimately, you should be asking yourself, “how is the campus and does it seem like the type of environment I would like to spend time in?”
You’ll also have the chance to connect with program directors, faculty and current graduate students. You’ll want to consider whether or not the program has a professor who shares your research areas of interest. And meeting current students is especially important if your program will use a “cohort” model – meaning you will work with the same people throughout the duration of the program.
Finally, take time to research class options – some programs will provide more flexible schedule options including evening, weekend or online classes, while other programs may be more traditional and have classes throughout the day.
Graduate Admissions
The majority of graduate and professional programs will require you to complete an entrance exam, similar to taking the SAT or ACT when applying to UMBC. See below for which exam you might be expected to take:
- Dental School: DAT (Dental Admission Test)
- Business and Management Schools: GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test)
- Master’s and Doctoral Programs: GRE (Graduate Record Examination) *Most common graduate admissions exam*
- Law School: LSAT (Law School Admission Test)
- Medical School: MCAT (Medical College Admission Test)
- Pharmacy School: PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test)
For graduate programs in the Visual or Performing Arts (such as Master of Fine Arts programs), you might need to prepare for an audition or portfolio submission of creative work as well. It’s important to research all the components necessary for any application and make sure you start the application process early!
Letters of Recommendation – ask early and ask people who know you best!
Most applications to graduate or professional school will require you to submit letters of recommendation. Your recommenders should be individuals who know you well, such as a professor who taught you in several courses or a research mentor.
Start by setting up a meeting to ask for a recommendation, which will help emphasize how important the letter is to you and give you the chance to provide context and answer questions your prospective recommender might have.
Allow at least two months prior to the deadline to give your recommenders enough time to complete the recommendation.
Funding Graduate or Professional School
Another important aspect to consider is how exactly you will be funding your graduate or professional school program. The UMBC Career Center does a great job at breaking down the different components associated with
funding your graduate education. It’s important to make sure you understand if there are scholarships, grants, financial aid or graduate assistantships available through the program you are exploring.
See below for some other helpful links as you continue to prepare for your next steps!
Also be sure to check out Grad School 101 – Hosted by the Career Center – on October 14th!
