UPCOMING HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRESENTATION

OPEN TO ALL MAJORS
Monday, March 7th
12 noon to 1pm, Public Policy, LH-9 (1st FlOOR)

Learn about Careers in Public Health and Opportunities (research and graduate programs) at Harvard University School of Public Health!

BONUS: Also Learn about The 2010 Affordable Act and the Future of Health Care in the U.S.
On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This legislation marks a watershed moment in U.S. health care policy. By 2019, the numbers of uninsured will be reduced by approximately 30 million as a result of Medicaid expansion and a set of subsidies, penalties, and regulatory reforms intended to increase take up of individual insurance. These policies will bring the promise of financial access to health care to lower-income Americans but will increase the urgency of delivery system reforms to ensure meaningful access to high-quality care and affordability in the long run. This presentation will highlight the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, their anticipated effects, and the set of delivery system reforms that have been proposed to alleviate the strains the newly insured will impose on the delivery system and increase the value of health care for all Americans.

Description

The year-long fellowship begins with an intensive nine-week summer program.

* Senior-year follow-up

Take This Class, Change The World

Civic Imagination and Social Entrepreneurship (cross-listed as Political Science 209, American Studies 280, and Sociology 298) will be offered again this Fall 2010 semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 to 12:45.

Students in the class will read, think and talk about ideas and examples relating to the process of social change. They’ll also work in groups to choose a social problem or opportunity and launch a practical project to create change on campus or, through the campus, in the wider community. The plan for the project will be the major piece of academic work produced for the class. Implementation will be up to you: If you’re inspired, hopefully you’ll decide to follow through even after you complete the course in December.

Projects developed by students in this class in fall 2008 and fall 2009 have included creating a basketball league for homeless men in Baltimore (implemented summer 2009), blanketing the UMBC campus with black and gold banners to build school spirit (to be completed in the next few months), setting up new applied research opportunities for UMBC undergraduates (one of this year’s Prove It! finalists), launching a human rights awareness campaign focusing initially on hunger and access to clean water (you’ll see this unfold starting next month), developing new health and wellness resources for UMBC students, setting up a community action program for middle-school students, and establishing a healthy food co-op on campus.

Internships are a key strategy in the Electronic Systems (ES) sector college recruiting program. The purpose of the ES Summer Intern Program is to identify and hire students for summer and part-time jobs early in their academic careers, with the potential of their receiving full-time job offers during their final year of school.

In general, engineering/technical intern candidates must: 1) Be enrolled in an accredited bachelor's degree (or higher level) college/university program in an engineering/ technical major; 2) Have completed at least their sophomore year; 3) Have at least a 3.0/4.0 overall GPA; 4) Be available to work for 10 weeks during the summer 2010 semester, and 5) Be able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. citizenship is a pre-requisite; a current clearance is helpful, but not required). In most cases, intern candidates major in one of the following engineering curricula: Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, Computer Science/Software, Systems, Industrial/ Manufacturing, Engineering Physics, or related area. Many of our software/computer science internships involve real-time embedded systems, so some background in that area is helpful. Exposure to radar & other sensor technologies and/or RF/microwave/communications applications is also potentially useful.

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.

Family Member: Well, with all the news about the economy, I don't think it's smart to put all your eggs in one basket. And you know you can't mooch off of us another year.

You: Stop bugging me! I just don't know where to begin!

And an awkward silence fills the room, ruining your delicious pumpkin pie.

Wouldn't you rather be able to say...

You: Well, I met with my Shriver Center coordinator and they helped me get my resume in good shape. They also showed me how to use UMBCworks to apply to positions. I have two offers already from Fortune 500 companies and I'm interviewing with 3 other organizations over winter break. While I haven't made up my mind yet, I have a lot of good choices. The economy may be down, but there is still a strong market for interns and I know I'm going to have a good experience that may even set me up for a fulltime job after graduation.

Call 410-455-2493 to make an appointment with the Shriver Center TODAY to start your path to a successful spring or summer internship and avoid Thanksgiving awkwardness.

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!

For those of you who do not have a UMBCworks account, visit us on the web at http://www.shrivercenter.org/student_howdoigetstarted.html
and call our front desk at 410-455-2493 to make an appointment to get your resume reviewed. The Shriver Center is located on the 1st Floor of the Public Policy Building.
