Presenter: Crystal Moll, Fine Artist

Crystal Moll is a fine artist. For the past 20+ years she has been using the neighborhoods of Baltimore as the subjects for most of her painting. While in college, her studies included both Fine and Professional arts. She wanted to learn how to paint, but was always concerned with the need to earn a living. During her studies and after, she ran an advertising design studio in Philadelphia.Her fine art studies helped her become a better designer and once she became
a full time painter, her advertising skills were used to promote her fine art endeavors. Unlike many artists, Crystal chooses to "represent" herself for the most part, maintaining control over all facets of her business.

She believes the more tools in the tool box the better. Come listen to her discuss her entrepreneurial journey and the importance of taking advantage of educational, personal and professional support.

Have you found the internship or research position of your dreams on your own, but just don't know how to get it noted on your transcript or get credit for it this spring 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!

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. To begin the process of finding an internship through the Shriver Center and UMBCworks, visit http://www.shrivercenter.org/documents/Shriver%20Center%20Four%20Step%20Process.pdf That link will detail exactly what you need to do.

The Shriver Center (1st fl Public Policy) is OPEN from 8:30 am to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, so stop in or make your appointment soon!

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.

Do you have questions about how to meet your long-term financial goals?

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!
