UCC @ BSOS Events: Week of May 6


This email is intended to highlight professional development and career exploration events, programs, and resources for BSOS faculty and staff to share with students (e.g., on blogs, TV screens, etc.).
Scholarship Opportunity
If you are a BSOS student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of a Summer or Fall 2019 experiential learning opportunity, apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds. 
Graduating? Remember to complete the graduation survey!
Your response is important! The collected information is used to demonstrate the success of our graduates to your college Dean, future students, prospective employers, and the public at large. 

The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
Resources to explore over the summer


Create a Terrapins Connect account to connect with alumni who have volunteered to conduct industry specific resume reviews, mock interviews, and to share the scoop on how they broke into their field. 

Develop a new skill by watching videos on Lynda.com. Sample topics include:
-Analytics
-Big Data
-SPSS, R, STATA
-And many more!
The University Career Center is open all summer!

Summer break is a great time to update your application materials, gain valuable experience, and work toward your post-graduation goals. And if you get stuck or need some assistance, remember that the University Career Center & the President's Promise takes appointments all summer!

Make an appointment with the University Career
 Center to discuss: 
  • Major and career exploration
  • Job and internship search
  • Graduate school/continuing education
  • Resume and cover letter
  • Change in career path
BSOS Advisors and Instructors: 
Let's meet over the summer!

We would love to hear your ideas! Let the University Career Center help you redesign a career exploration assignment or provide you with time-saving resources. Email Crystal Sehlke, Program Director for the UCC @ BSOS, at csehlke@umd.edu to schedule a time to meet.
