Check out his internship with Northrop Grumman.

Name: Christopher Lanthier

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Northrop Grumman*

Position Title: Cyber Systems Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Information Systems

Current Class Level: Senior

Work Term: Summer 2020

*Don’t miss UMBC Connects: Northrop Grumman, a virtual recruitment event on Wednesday, September 9, to learn how you could land an amazing, career-relevant opportunity like Christopher’s!

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

My team worked to develop anti-ransomware software with the potential of receiving a patent for it. Every morning we had short scrum meetings to discuss the goals for that day along with any progress we made the day before. I was in charge of writing scripts to interact with a software based Trusted Platform Module in order to securely encrypt and store data.

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I heard of the position from a family friend and attended the Northrop Grumman internship events at UMBC.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I enjoyed receiving real world experience that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere. We were able to work on an actual project and delivered a functional system that, with some polishing, could become a commercial product.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

My team made an impact with our work by providing Northrop Grumman with the opportunity to receive a patent that would directly impact their commercial operations as a business.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Never say no to experience. Even if you aren't sure what might come out of it or if you're even interested, always seek out ways to grow yourself and your resume so that when the right opportunity does come around, you'll be able to take advantage of it.

This school year looks different for many people so parents are exploring creative ways to provide the support they need for their families. The Career Center can attest to this as we are experiencing an increase in requests for home based positions such as tutors and nannies. To apply to these positions, search "Misc. Household Opportunities" in UMBCworks.

We feel that these may be great opportunities for students, however  we want to be sure that you find the one that is the right fit for you. Please be aware that because these positions are home based, and not an established employer, UMBC’s Career Center is limited in their ability to thoroughly research the individuals posting these opportunities.  Below are several things that you should do when considering application to one of these positions:

  • Do not be afraid to ask a lot of questions and be sure that you understand all that will be  expected of you if you are selected to fill the position.

  • Learn about the children, such as what they like to do for fun and how the parents would like you to handle challenging situations that may arise. Make sure the parents' answers to your questions feel like a good fit for your personality and your tutoring or nanny style.

  • Be sure you feel 100% comfortable with working in a home environment and the people that you will be working for.  UMBC is unable to do this part for you so it is important to make sure that everything feels right. If at any time it does not, simply decline the offer. 

  • If at any time something feels off or fishy, please report it to the Career Center immediately.

  • Please be sure you have read our Fraudulent Jobs and email Scams post so that you are wisely exploring all opportunities. 

  • Good luck!  We are here to support you.  We will continue to seek and provide any opportunity that we think could be of value to you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for support! Career Center

Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) – a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and private sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs.

To be eligible for the WRP, candidates must be current, full-time undergraduate or graduate students with a disability, or have graduated within *one year of the release of the database each December. Candidates must be U.S. citizens.

*Since it may take time to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 on WRP hiring, WRP will provide recent graduates with disabilities an additional year of eligibility to participate in this fall’s application period and the 2021 database.  This means that all recent graduates that applied to WRP in fall 2019 are eligible to apply again this fall.  Recent graduates who graduated on or after April 1, 2018 will be eligible to apply this fall, along with current degree-seeking students with disabilities. 

 All candidates, whether they applied last year or not, must complete a new application this fall on the WRP website so that WRP can ensure that employers have access to an up-to-date resume, transcript, and application for every applicant.  

Applications for students from participating WRP schools will open on August 24, 2020 and close October 14, 2020. It is required that all candidates complete their application and upload required documents by October 16, 2020.

WRP has switched to an informational interview process for candidates. The interview period this year will take place from October 26-November 18, 2020. All interviews will be conducted remotely, in most cases by phone.

For more information see our website or contact UMBC’s WRP coordinator, Caroline Bodnar, carolc@umbc.edu, 410-455-3975.
