CoLab is an in-person, paid summer internship in narrative-based research for UMBC undergraduates. Held during Summer Session One, student interns will work on interdisciplinary project teams to conduct research, create effective narratives, and develop public-facing final products that support the goals of on and off campus community-engaged organizations and scholars. Open to all majors, this is an excellent opportunity for students in STEM fields to learn to tell effective stories and for students in social science and humanities fields to gain research and technical skills.
Participants who successfully complete the internship receive a $3000 stipend and a tuition scholarship for the 3-credit internship course.
Program Dates
CoLab 2025 will be held during Summer Session One and meets in-person from Monday, June 2nd through Friday, June 27th.
PLEASE NOTE: During these dates, student interns are required to
dedicate Monday through Friday from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm to the in-person,
on-campus internship. Participants will have preparatory work to
complete on their own the week prior to the in-person start date of 6/2,
and a final reflective paper to submit the week following the final
in-person date of 6/27.
