Dear Students,
If you're pursuing a career path in media, broadcasting or communications, I encourage you to consider applying for a funded fellowship program with the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Comprised of six entities, including Voice of America, USAGM's multi-channel broadcasts reach more than 394 million people across the globe each week.
Over the course of 15 weeks (20 hours per week) this spring semester, you'll gain real-world experience at the largest global media agency in the Federal government, while making professional connections and engaging in career development networking. The program is available in-person in Washington, D.C., along with remote and hybrid working models to allow greater flexibility for all students to access this opportunity.
This is a fully funded fellowship, with sponsorship covering the cost of the program, housing (if needed) and roundtrip travel to and from Washington, D.C. (if needed). A stipend of $2,550 to $5,550 will also be provided to help alleviate any additional expenses.
The deadline to apply for this program is Monday, October 31, so I encourage you to learn more and see if you're eligible for this unique opportunity.

The Maryland Board of Elections has placed an official ballot dropoff box in the lobby of The Commons, meaning that Maryland voters can now cast their votes on campus. You will need to be registered and request a mail-in ballot, which you can place in the box after you have completed it. Thanks to our partners in Campus Life and the Division of Information Technology for making this placement possible, and to SGA, GSA, RSA, the President's Office, and other campus leaders who joined us in working with the Board of Elections to get it done.
As of this posting, UMBC is #6 in the United States in the number of pledges to vote made by students through ALL IN to Vote's Pledge to Vote competition. Faculty, staff, and students can take the pledge; student pledges count toward UMBC's total on the national leaderboard
The Center for Democracy and Civic Life helps people develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to create healthy communities and tackle challenges together. Our work builds from the premise that civic life encompasses everyday settings and relationships through which people can generate the power to shape their world. The ideas behind our work are reflected in the Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) Theory of Change, which members of the Center's staff developed in collaboration with the leaders of national higher education networks.
