ADD your FALL Internship, Co-op, or Research Position to your Transcript

Have you found an internship, co-op, or research position, but just don't know how to get it listed on your transcript or get credit for it this Fall Semester? Do you want a notation on your transcript for all your hard work, but are unsure how to proceed?

Well look no further! The staff at the UMBC Shriver Center is here to help!

If you found an internship, co-op, or research position for the fall already, you can get the notation on your transcript - and be on your way to possibly receiving credit- its not too late.

TO ADD INTERNSHIP/CO-OP/RESEARCH TO YOUR TRANSCRIPT:
1. Either call (410-455-2493) or stop by the Shriver Center on the ground floor of the Public Policy Building to make an appointment with a Coordinator.
2. Get a letter/memo from your employer (on company letterhead) verifying that you are interning at least 8-10 hours per week and bring it to your appointment. This is only needed if you found the position on your own and not UMBCworks.
3. Meet with a Shriver Coordinator to get enrolled in the Practicum (to have your internship/research noted on your transcript as a university sanctioned experience) and have your potential credit options explained to you.
4. Enjoy your internship, co-op, or research position this fall semester!

If you DO NOT have an internship, research, or co-op position lined up but are interested in obtaining one, we’ll be glad to help you with that as well.

The Challenge and Excitement of Being a Student AND a CEO

April 28, 2010
12 – 1:00p.m. • Commons Room 331

Starting and growing a new business is both exciting and challenging. Now add onto that the
responsibilities of being a student as well!

Come listen to UMBC student entrepreneurs talk about their experiences in launching their companies.

Featured student panelists:
Martin Figueroa, '11, Managing Member, ROM Designs, LLC
Major: Media and Communications
ROM Designs, LLC specializes in the creation and sale of art on sneakers.

Christine Osazuwa, '11, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Scene Trash Magazine &
Promotions
Major: Interdisciplinary Studies - Music Journalism and Management
Scene Trash Magazine is a regional monthly print magazine that focuses on unsigned and
independent bands on the East Coast. Both the magazine and promotions components set out to develop and gain exposure for up and coming bands.

Dehyu Sinyan, '11, President and CEO, Virtual Parent, LLC
Major: M.S. Systems Engineering
As an undergraduate student at UMBC, Dehyu came to the realization that time management
was not his strongest ability. Furthermore, there was no service provided that used popular
technology to assist students in learning how to manage their time, develop effective study
skills, and keep on track with their academic and personal schedules. Capitalizing on this
overwhelming need, Dehyu conceived the Virtual Parent, a service offering a copyrighted
dynamic scheduling application that provides university students with reminders about
academic and personal events through the use of automated text messages.

Financial Representative Internship with Northwestern Mutual

Interns with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network have the same opportunities to build their careers as full-time representatives. Supported by our network of specialists, training programs and mentoring opportunities, interns have access to the resources, products and assistance they need to help their clients and build their practices.

Like financial representatives, interns strive to understand their clients' goals and visions in order to uncover financial solutions that put them on a path to success. Network Representative interns are in business for themselves – but they're not alone.

The Northwestern Mutual internship program has been named “one of America’s Top Ten Internship for twelve consecutive years” by Vault Guide to Internships.

Northwestern Mutual was named one of “the 50 Best Companies to Sell For” in 2006 by Selling Power Magazine (November/December 2006).

Received the highest available ratings for financial strength from the four major rating agencies in 2005: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and A.M. Best.

Named “America’s Most Admired” company in its category for 24 years, according to a 2007 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Named “Most Admired” company in its category in the word, according to a 2006 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Earned the highest customer satisfaction score among U.S. life insurers in the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index survey in 2005.

Your local office provides tools, resources and training to help you discover and build your markets to develop a successful practice as a Network Representative intern. At Northwestern Mutual we believe training is a process, not an event. Can you envision a life of real world compensation, freedom and calling your own shots? Many college students cannot. The Northwestern Mutual internship is a valuable opportunity for students to combine classroom learning with a real-life look into what they could truly make of themselves.

Preferred qualifications: To be considered for the position, you must be a full-time student at a four year institution and have completed at least 2 years of college coursework. You must have strong interpersonal skills, be self-motivated and have a history of personal success.

Well look no further! The staff at the UMBC Shriver Center is here to help!

That internship you found is important to obtain admission to graduate school and to find employment after graduation. You gain experience, can get paid, and could potentially obtain three upper level credits, all by interning only 8 to 10 hours per week.

Best of all, if you found an internship, co-op, or research position on your own for the summer already, you can get the notation on your transcript (FREE OF CHARGE) - and be on your way to possibly receiving credit- its not too late.

IN ORDER TO GET YOUR INTERNSHIP/CO-OP/RESEARCH POSITION TO BE ADDED TO YOUR TRANSCRIPT:
1. Either call (410-455-2493) or stop by the Shriver Center on the ground floor of the Public Policy Building to make an appointment with a Coordinator.
2. Get a letter/memo from your employer (on company letterhead) verifying that you are interning 8-10 hours per week and bring it to your appointment.
3. Meet with your Coordinator to get enrolled in the Practicum (to have the notation put on your transcript as a university sanctioned experience) and have your potential credit options explained to you.
4. Enjoy your internship, co-op, or research position!

If you do not already have an internship lined up but are interested in obtaining one, we’ll be glad to help you with that as well.

Entrepreneurship Speaker Series on this Monday at Noon

Monday, March 30, 2009
12 - 1 p.m. • UC 312
Guest Speaker: Jeannie L. Howe, President, BayCliff Associates, Inc.

Nonprofit organizations rely on community support to pursue their missions, but not all of those “resources” are tapped through traditional fundraising. Ingenious partnerships and collaborations can more fully engage constituents and provide a critical source of visibility, in-kind donations, and good will. An entrepreneurial leader in the nonprofit sector must, particularly in times of great competition and need, create innovative avenues of support that will help further the organization’s mission.

Building on more than 20 years in leadership positions with nonprofit organizations, Ms. Howe founded BayCliff Associates in 2008. As a mission and results-driven executive, she has developed and secured funding for new initiatives including the creation of “signature events,”
cause-related marketing programs, marketing and public relations tools, and campaigns to raise program and unrestricted support. She is skilled in engaging key constituents and celebrities in organizational activities including marketing campaigns and national legislative
initiatives.

Three myths about Internships, Research, and Co-ops

Three myths about Internships, Research, and Co-ops brought to you by your Shriver Center Coordinators at UMBC

Myth: The downturn in the economy means that no internships are available.

FACT: Interns are still in demand and will be where many organizations look to fulfill their fulltime recruiting needs. More and more companies report that they are using their interns as an effective way to fill their hiring needs. By participating in an internship you can get the inside track on the best opportunities. The Shriver Center has connections with hundreds of organizations where you can get your foot in the door (most paid). By getting your resume approved in UMBCworks, you will have access to them as well!

Myth: Most students don't have enough experience to make a compelling resume and get the best positions.

FACT: You're probably more competitive than you think - and the Shriver Center can help you develop a resume and interview skills that will make you stand out. The Shriver Center has a range of services just for UMBC students to help you standout from your peers and get the positions you seek. We specialize in working with students to transform your credentials from ordinary to extraordinary!

Myth: If you're going to graduate school, you don't need to do internships or research.

FACT: What will make your applications stand out is the ways that you have applied what you have learned inside the classroom in a practical setting. The Shriver Center isn't just for students preparing for the corporate world - UMBCworks has many opportunities for students interested in research and academia. Taking advantage of these opportunities now will help you be more prepared and qualified for graduate studies.

To take advantages of all of these opportunities and more, log onto UMBCworks and start applying today!
