2024 UMBC Suits You: Professional Clothing Drive
Help Students Suit Up for Success: Donate!
The Career Center is collecting new and gently used professional clothing for "UMBC Suits You" as part of Career Month.
Students will have the opportunity to learn about dressing professionally and then be able to select one free outfit to use for job interviews, career fairs, networking opportunities and much more.. We are asking staff, faculty, alumni, and affiliates to donate new and gently used professional attire at collection bins around campus from February 19th - March 1st.
Starting February 19th, professional clothing can be dropped off at the following on-campus locations:
- The Shriver Center, Public Policy Bldg., 1st Floor - 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Mon-Fri)
- Career Center, Math/Psych 201 - 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Mon-Fri)

Items that will be accepted: Pant suits, skirt suits, dress pants, dresses, skirts, blazers, shell tops, button-up shirts, blouses, ties, and dress belts.
Items that will NOT be accepted: Jewelry, handbags, shoes, and general accessories.
All items should be in good condition, and appropriate for interaction with potential employers and professional contacts. Please be selective! Clothing that is in poor condition, stained, or out of style won’t help our students make a good first impression. All clothing will be professionally cleaned before being offered to students.
Clothing donations will be used to benefit UMBC students and will not be considered gifts-in-kind or donations to UMBC. Clothing donations are not tax deductible. Any leftover clothing will be donated to local nonprofits.
Special thanks to T. Rowe Price for partnering with us on this endeavor.
***Students be on the lookout for more information about the UMBC Suits You Clothing Closet occurring on April 3 & 4, 2024 when you will be able to pick up a FREE professional outfit.***

Semester of Internship: Fall 2023
Major: Social Work
Current Class Level: Senior
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Baltimore County Public Schools, Woodmoor Elementary School
Location of the Organization (City, State): Lochearn, Maryland
Title of position: School Social Work Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I provide social work services and supports to elementary schoolers. These are both universal supports to the entire elementary school and individualized supports for students with social-emotional developmental delays. A typical day for me is a mix of crisis support, generalist services like the food bank or the social-emotional curriculum, networking with our community partners to bring services to the school, and having the silliest conversations all with the students' needs in mind.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
This is my Field Placement with the BSW program. I was recommended for this placement by my social work advisor, and the applications were through the program as well as through the BCPS social work processes.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
BSW Program
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
I love working with kids and being able to be there for them when it can often feel like the systems are working against them. We were all kids at one point, and although looking back it may not seem like it, it truly is a challenging part of our lives. I enjoy being able to help them through that process.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I know I am making a tangible impact on these kids' lives. Seeing them reaching their goals and being able to make friends, express their feelings and needs, and improve their overall well-being, it is super meaningful to me.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would highly recommend going for it. Even if you are not sure that it will be applicable to your field, trust me, it will be. The skills you will obtain just through going through the process and then showing up are helpful in whatever professional field. Go for it!
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Just showing up makes a bigger difference than you could imagine.

Intern of the Week: Aniket Hiremath
Check out Aniket's internship!
Name: Aniket Hiremath
Pronouns: He/Him
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Engineering Management
Current Class Level: Master's Student
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Miller Construction Services, Inc.
Location of the Organization (City, State): Baltimore, Maryland
Title of position: Project Management Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
My responsibilities encompassed a wide range of tasks, allowing me to gain valuable hands-on experience in the field of project management within the construction industry.
My main objective was to support project managers in coordinating and overseeing all aspects of construction projects from initiation to completion. This includes participating in project planning, scheduling, and budgeting activities. I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of project plans, create project schedules, and monitor project progress, ensuring that tasks are completed within established timelines and budgets.
Additionally, I collaborated with various stakeholders, including contractors, suppliers, and internal teams, to facilitate effective communication and maintain positive working relationships. I assisted in the procurement process by coordinating the selection and acquisition of materials, equipment, and services needed for projects.
During the construction phase, it involved on-site activities, conducting inspections, and monitoring the quality of work to ensure compliance with specifications and industry standards.
Throughout my internship, I had the opportunity to learn and apply project management methodologies, tools, and techniques in a practical setting. I received guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals, allowing me to develop project management skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of the construction project lifecycle.
By the end of my internship at Miller Construction Services, I gained practical experience in project management within the construction industry, enhanced organizational and communication skills, and developed a strong foundation for a successful career in this field.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I got this opportunity through the UMBC Career Center's Career Fair Spring 2023. I had researched the organizations that were attending the Career Fair and also the roles I was targeting. Before the career fair, I took the guidance and mentorship by the experienced staff members at the UMBC Career Center where I tailored my resume as per the internship I was applying to. I also worked on my elevator pitch, which is very important when you are attending a career fair. Through my research about the organization and preparation, I pitched myself to one of the senior project managers who was representing Miller Construction Services at the Career Fair. After a great conversation, he said he will be setting up an interview for me. I used the Big Interview provided by UMBC Career Center, and that's how I grabbed this opportunity!
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
UMBC Career Center, Career Fairs
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
The role has pushed me and brought out the best out of me. Every day, I have faced new challenges and after brainstorming, debate, and deliberation, finding a solution to that challenge is what I have enjoyed the most. The most amazing part of being a project manager is that I need to have the ability and skills to think about all the dimensions related to the project, which I think is very challenging. Also the organization is an amazing place to work, the team has been very supportive to me, and I was always taken care of whenever I needed assistance and guidance. I also enjoyed the weekly cook off where all the team members cooked and brought food for the entire team of Miller Construction Services. We had a great time over lunch.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
Through all the challenges I faced, I always made sure I came out of the challenge with an effective and optimized solution. I also had a never-ending curiosity to learn, which helped me learn a number of project management skills through collaboration with the project management experts at Miller Construction Services. This helped me do the work without compromising on the quality. Throughout my internship, I worked on more than 20+ projects worth more than 1 million dollars. Through my effective communication, collaboration, attention to details, critical thinking, and applying the project management methodologies, I assisted in these successful projects and created an impact.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
I would definitely like to suggest to all the students to take advantage of the resources available provided by UMBC Career Center. These resources are highly valuable and definitely help a lot. They make the journey of ending up with an internship/job easy. As mentioned before, there are great opportunities at the UMBC Career Fairs/employers events. You just need preparation and the right approach, and anyone can definitely end up with a number of opportunities.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
I have had an incredible experience working with the UMBC Career Fair. The staff members provide great insights about your application approach, fine tune your application documents like your resume and cover letter, help you prepare elevator pitch, and lastly help you ace the interview. I am glad that I got the right guidance and mentorship from the UMBC Career Center to find this role.

Intern of the Week: Imani Geary
Check out Imani's internship!
Name: Imani Geary
Pronouns: She/Her
Semester of Internship: Fall 2023
Major: Dual Degrees in Choral Music Education and Psychology
Current Class Level: Senior
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Baltimore City College
Location of the Organization (City, State): Baltimore, MD
Title of position: Student Teacher
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
As a student teacher at BCC, my day-to-day responsibilities consisted of creating and teaching my lesson plans (either individually or with the help of my mentor) for 3 sections of a General Music class.
In addition, my daily responsibilities include leading warm-ups, sectionals, and rehearsals for the school's two choruses: BCC QWAH (the full choir) and The Singing Knights (a select few auditioned students).
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
As an aspiring Music Educator, it was a required placement for my major.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Faculty connections
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
I have simply enjoyed being on the field. I am finally getting the chance to practice and apply the theories and strategies I've collected and learned over the years.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I definitely have an acute knowledge of and fluency in technology, especially in terms of having access to a breadth of resources, experience in design, and an eye for formatting. I believe I've made an impact through my technological contributions to my mentor's classroom. I've introduced several different ways to assess students electronically, and have formatted digital assessments and rubrics that my mentor has adopted for future lessons.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
My advice for students who wish to pursue a Student Teaching Internship is two-fold.
(1) Let this be your opportunity to try as many things as you can. Let every day be a chance for you to try that new strategy you learned about or implement a unique kind of assessment. Try, try, try!
(2) Take all the feedback you can get, especially in Phase 1. Find it in your heart to want to be (constructively) criticized. Your mentor and supervisors are there to guide you and offer you the wisdom and expertise they've gathered over the years. Use them! There is always room for improvement. Make those mistakes, own them, and learn from them. You'll be all the better for it.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Participating in this internship process has shown me that I'm more capable than I initially thought. Being an intern pushed me to work hard and to further develop my craft. Being on the field like this, surrounded by amazing supervisors and my mentor, has further affirmed my desire to teach. I wouldn't have changed this experience for the world.

Intern of the Week: Atharv Amit Abhyankar
Check out Atharv's internship!
Name: Atharv Amit Abhyankar
Pronouns: He/Him
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Engineering Management
Current Class Level: Master's Student
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Maryland Technology Internship Program @UMBC Career Center
Location of the Organization (City, State): Catonsville, Maryland
Title of position: MTIP Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I report directly to the Program Director for Workforce Development at UMBC's Career Center. My internship revolves around grasping the intricacies of managing the Maryland Technology Internship Program. I've been actively involved in recommending improvements to current workflows, employing data analytics to ensure accurate reporting between students and employers to the State of Maryland, and laying the groundwork for the Airtable Automation tool for future projects.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I found this position while exploring on-campus job opportunities on Handshake, discovering it in the final week of April. It immediately piqued my interest due to its alignment with my background and professional expertise, offering a valuable opportunity to refine my data analysis and process improvement skills. The job description provided a clear reference point for crafting my cover letter. I submitted my application on the same day I discovered the opening. Within a week, I received a response from the Program Director, leading to an interview and ultimately securing the position within another week.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Handshake
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
In my role as an MTIP intern, the most rewarding aspect has been gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire process and witnessing the positive impact of the program on employers, students, UMBC, and the State of Maryland. The staff at UMBC Career Center, particularly my supervisor, have consistently provided unwavering support, guidance, and assistance throughout my internship and professional development. The exposure and values acquired have significantly contributed to my academic journey at UMBC and prepared me for future professional roles.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
With the backing of my supervisor, I successfully formulated and presented to the UMBC Career Center team a functional framework outlining the migration of the entire MTIP workflow to Airtable. This proposed shift is expected to yield significant benefits, including time savings and the alleviation of laborious efforts associated with handling extensive data. In the current Fall term, I've made substantial progress in implementing this transition, leading to a more streamlined experience for everyone engaged in the MTIP process.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
For those delving into on-campus, internship, or full-time opportunities, I strongly recommend maintaining an open, alert, and prepared mindset. Often, valuable resources like the Career Center's resume review, job postings on Handshake, and the MTIP website are overlooked. These channels, along with career fairs, can serve as unexpected gateways to potential opportunities.
My own experiences during the fall career fair at UMBC underscore the significance of staying receptive. As an international student seeking CPT/OPT accepting employers, the Career Center's career fair directory became an indispensable tool in creating a personalized list of prospective employers. This allowed me to systematically approach each employer on my list. Subsequently, I expanded my interactions to engage with other employers in my field, refining my elevator pitch and gaining insights into their organizations.
This proactive approach yielded tangible results as I secured two interview calls. One came from a prominent pharmaceutical company that actively welcomes international students, while the other, although typically not open to international candidates, made exceptions in my case.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Building upon the philosophy of 'Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water,' this mindset has been instrumental in fostering adaptability and a flexible approach to challenges. In the ever-evolving landscape of my internship, much like water taking the shape of its container, I've embraced a dynamic and open-minded perspective.
Through this internship, I've had the opportunity to expand my professional network significantly. The guidance provided by the Career Center staff has played a crucial role in overcoming my communications and confidence shortcomings. Their support has been transformative, enabling me to navigate not only the technical aspects of the internship but also the interpersonal and communication challenges that often accompany professional growth.
