Dinner with Strangers
A beneficial networking opportunity!
This semester UMBC Alumni Relations is hosting a "Dinner with Strangers." The idea is simple: sit down for dinner with strangers and leave with new friends and valuable connections. Dinner with Strangers is your opportunity to eat a free, delicious meal and network with UMBC alumni in your prospective field.
This fall, 10 students will enjoy a dinner hosted by UMBC alumnus Mr. Chris Magaha '03, Director of the Commercial Solutions for Classified Programs at the National Security Agency (NSA). The dinner is scheduled for Monday, November 30th from 6-8 p.m.
All students majoring in electrical engineering, chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and information systems are invited to apply. Applications are due Friday, November 20, 2015 by 4:00 p.m.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Jessica El-Zeftawy '08 '12 in the Office of Alumni Relations by emailing
jbard1@umbc.edu or by calling 410-455-1678.
Volunteers are needed in the following locations:
1. Expo Hall (volunteers needed from 10:30am-1:00pm) - BWS will have a table with activities (snap circuits and puff mobiles) for girls and information about SWE. Girls and parents will have the opportunity to visit the Expo Hall for 45 minutes (11:15-12 and 12-12:45).
2. Workshop - TechBridge Activity (volunteers are needed from 2:45pm-4:00pm) - BWS will be hosting a TechBridge Activity during the last workshop for the girls. Volunteers will be needed to assist the girls with the activities and talk to them about our engineering careers.

A BIG THANK YOU...
....to everyone, especially the judges who voted for our banner for the Homecoming Banner Decorating Competition!!! SWE actually won 1st place for Judges' Choice!
We appreciate it!! Thank you all who participated!
Here are the applications for Baltimore City Robotics mentorship positions. Priority placement is given for Wednesdays 4-6 pm at Barclay School! In addition to the application, be sure to fill out the form below regarding carpooling.
"BRI Mentors commit to visiting one city middle school throughout the robotics season (Oct-Jan, and we can work with semester schedule conflicts), for one session of about 2 hours every week plus travel time. They assist coaches and work closely with children.
"Mentors will be trained in the basics of VEX robotics, and in mentoring skills and expectations—all levels of experience are welcome. We will arrange a training session with your group once applications are collected. Mentors will need to be fingerprinted for working with children after the training, and transportation to and from team practices is the responsibility of the student organization. If interested, please be sure to fill out both the applications and excel document in order to coordinate transportation!"

McNair Scholars Program!
The McNair Scholars Program provides experiences that prepare students for graduate education in all disciplines. The program involves students in research, mentoring, and other scholarly activities. The goal of the program is to increase the attainment of doctoral degrees by students from underrepresented segments of society. Eligible participants are low-income/first-generation college students, or members of groups underrepresented in graduate education.
There are a number of benefits if selected such as: faculty mentorship, hands on guidance and navigation through the graduate school application process, GRE waivers, the opportunity to attend research conferences, and first-hand exposure to individuals who have earned PhD’s.
This year’s application deadline is November 2nd. Please visit our website for more information.

Opportunity for a Co-Op at Nestle
Here's a SWEet treat for you all!
Nestle’s Technical & Production Co-op Program is looking to hire a Co-op to come on board during the January-June 2016 timeframe. We’re targeting specifically Juniors and Seniors (at the time the program takes place) and the program will be 6 months in length.
These and all other details should hopefully be laid out in the job posting link: https://www.nestleusacareers.com/job/glendale/factory-technical-and-production-co-op-program/1823/794784

Global Brigades is the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Since 2004, Global Brigades has mobilized tens of thousands of university students and professionals through skill-based programs that work in partnership with community members to improve the quality of life in under resourced regions while respecting local culture.
Environmental brigades work to ensure food security, preserve environmental and reverse environmental degradation. The main goals of the microfinance brigade is to not only establish a community bank with access to savings and loans but to train the members and executive board to be able to assist in the facilitation of other social projects in the community such as electricity, health initiatives, home repairs etc.
