The UMBC Retriever newspaper has a longstanding tradition of satirical April Fool's editions. In 1977, the paper published its very first April Fool's issue entitled The Poodle. The issue was filled with sarcastic and humorous articles including one naming the poodle as UMBC's new mascot and one stating that the SGA president and Physical Education Department were sponsoring a duel between two inmates from the Maryland Correctional Institution. Since then, The Retriever newspaper has published annual April Fool's issues during the week of April the 1st under the name The Deceiver.  Amusing article titles over the years have included, "Student Bursts into Flame During Lecture," "Administration Building Stolen During Last Weekend," "UMBC Explodes," and "Giant Terrapin Attacks UMBC."

[original message from Simon Stacey]

The Goldwater Foundation has just announced the results of the 2016 competition, and three of UMBC's four nominees have won 2016 scholarships. They are:

Daniel Ocasio, Junior, Chemical Engineering  (PI, Lee Blaney, Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering)
Naomi Mburu, Sophomore, Chemical Engineering (PI, Leon Bellan, Vanderbilt University)
Andreas Seas, Junior, Chemical Engineering (PIs, Alexey Kamenskiy, Jason MacTaggart, University of Nebraska Medical Center)

All three students are members of the Meyerhoff Program and Honors College. As far as I know, this is UMBC's best showing in the competition so far.

Mitsue Wiggs, in the Meyerhoff Program, coordinated an innovative new initiative this year which saw the program's applicants submit early versions of their applications to Meyerhoff alumni in relevant fields for review and advice, before their applications reached the UMBC Goldwater Scholarship Selection Committee. This resulted, it seems, in material of higher quality coming to the Committee. 

David Eisenmann (Biological Sciences) and Lee Blaney (Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering) did sterling work on the committee this year. They reviewed a larger than ever and highly diverse pool of applications this year, winnowed the group, and then provided advice and feedback on nominee essays over several months, including what would otherwise have been their winter break. 

The excellence of our students, and the fantastic support they get from people like Simon, Mitsue, David and Lee, make for great outcomes like this one!

Check out everything you can attend in April!

Get excited for Career Crush Month!


Career Crush is an entire month (April) dedicated to undergraduates at all stages, graduate students, international students, commuters, alumni, faculty, and community members.


The topics you’ll see this month include professional development, networking, building career skills, and discovering career options. We help you through events like workshops, one-on-one mentoring with alumni and employers, and even a Spring Career Fair to help you win this challenge!


Why should you play? Build your skills to prepare for the next level (in life). The Career Center is bringing experts from various fields to connect with you. Whether you’re a freshman in your undergraduate career or you’re pursuing your PhD, it’s crucial to learn more about your career options and to connect with people in your field. We’ll help you to gain the skills and opportunities to do so!


Win “Career Crush Loot” for participation in different types of events. The “loot” comes in the form of buttons and if you collect one of each of them you will win a free Career Crush t-shirt. There are also “Bonus Loots” for certain events, including head shots for your LinkedIn page!


Think of UMBC as an RPG game of your life. Each semester is a different level. There are hidden bonuses all throughout the University that you just have to be open enough to find. Career Crush is a hidden bonus. You don’t need it to graduate (beat the game) – but if you do, you will be far more prepared for the sequel: life after graduation. 


As a graduate student, I can’t wait to check out all of the great opportunities this month to have some fun while learning some great insight for my career. I highly recommend you do the same! See you out there!
