You are able to grant access to your student account information via a feature in myUMBC called Profile Sharing. Depending on the level of access you grant to the other person, they may be able to see your billing and financial aid To Dos, billing summary, and financial aid summary. You may also grant this person the ability to contact university offices by phone, email, or in person to access your records.

When sharing your profile, please be aware of how it affects your rights as they relate to The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student education records by limiting the disclosure of such records. Sharing your own profile is one of the ways you may request that UMBC disclose your records to others.

Susan V. Plitt, Associate Director Employer Relations & Recruitment Programs, Career Center

It is not every day that internship and job seekers have employers coming to them, but for UMBC students, that day is quickly approaching.  September 28th is this year’s Fall Career & Internship Fair — one of UMBC’s large annual recruiting events. 

Over 120 employers representing corporate America, non-profits, and government agencies are expected to attend, including this year’s class of

Career Center Employer Partners:  UPS, Hershey Company, National Security Agency, Lockheed Martin, Constellation Energy, Tiber Technologies, T. Rowe Price, Nielsen, Next Century Corporation, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Allstate, Phoenix Operations Group, PayPal, Morgan Stanley, the Government Accountability Office, Consortium National Accounts, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, basys, Asymmetrik, and the U.S. Air Force.  For a full list of employers attending, please visit http://careers2.umbc.edu/calendar/fairs/fallcareerfair.php

It’s a given that the fair is a not-to-miss event for every soon-to-be graduate, but with the variety and caliber of recruiters descending on UMBC’s campus this  month, it is in reality an event relevant for everyone in the UMBC community.

The Career Center will be piloting a new program this year asking employers to identify themselves as “Freshmen Friendly.”  This designation will help our first-year students to feel more comfortable while exploring careers, learning which jobs are in demand, and identifying skills that employers look for in college hires (great information to have on-hand when plotting how to best spend the next four years).  Please encourage your first-year student to take advantage of the opportunity to casually connect and explore.

Sophomores and juniors should attend to search for employers offering internship and co-op opportunities.  Many organizations will be recruiting for summer 2017 internships at this fair!  UMBC alumni can benefit as a number of attending employers will be looking for both entry-level and experienced candidates and since, the fair is a community event, job searching parents are invited to attend the fall Career Fair, as well.

Whether for yourself or your student, you will want to sneak a peek at the list of attending employers and learn all you can about how to prepare for and make the most of the upcoming fair.  The Career Center’s website, http://careers.umbc.edu/ has all this and more!

Opportunity is about to knock on UMBC’s door (September 28^th, the RAC, 11:30 am – 3:30 pm, to be exact); everyone is invited to open it!
