From iHARP to Microsoft: this summer, one of iHARP’s PhD candidates, Tolulope Ale turned research into real-world innovation
Summer Internship Story
This summer, iHARP PhD candidate Tolulope Ale brought his expertise to Microsoft as an intern.
Here's how Tolu summed up his experience: "This summer, I had a fantastic internship experience, supported by the Microsoft mentorship program, which helped me connect with colleagues at every level. I built an LLM customer-engagement chatbot using Semantic Kernel and Azure AI Foundry, with two key features: Brand Persona (responses tailored to a specific brand's voice/tone) and Conversation Style (Brand Persona, Casual, and Gen Z modes selectable by the user). I demoed the solution to my team, a data science group, leadership, and a broader cross-functional audience (DS, SWE, PM, and PMM), and it was very well received. A standout aspect of the design is its easy configurability for new brand use cases with minimal code changes. I also implemented evaluation for each LLM component and added a latency tracker to monitor performance end-to-end."

[RESPOT] Relationships Unfiltered: The Good, the Bad, and the Toxic
Is it okay to ask your partner to not be friends with people you are not comfortable with?
How should you handle it when your partner gets defensive or emotional when you try to give them feedback?
How can I make sure I'm respecting my partner's boundaries?
Can I trust relationship advice from influencers on social media?
It is common to feel confused about topics like boundaries, expectations, and communication. Relationships are complicated! Bring your questions and join a discussion with UMBC students, faculty, and staff.
We'll start with an activity where you tell us - is this red or green flag behavior? Then, we'll shift into a Q&A with our panelists.
Light refreshments will be provided.
----
This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's
nondiscrimination policy.
Art submissions are now open. Deadline to apply is Oct 26th. Submission form:
https://forms.gle/oEySkjgnRLLhTp2j8
"Without Fear" Theme Overview:
As young people in this era, we face tremendous uncertainty and fear about the environments around us. It feels like we've inherited a responsibility to a world whose problems we didn't make. As if our futures have been co-opted by systems that don't have our best interest in mind. As artists, we are limited by time, money, and resources. We worry about whether making art will allow us to survive, when the whole purpose is to enjoy just making art.
So we ask: If fear no longer limited you, how would you imagine, build, or live in the future? Who are you without limitation, without fear?
