Networking continues to be the best search strategies for job and internship positions. However there are several "niche boards" on campus that work great for students just starting their search. Consider sharing the resources below with the students you work with. 

• BSOS Blog and Major/Department Blogs 
• Careers4Terps advertised over 20,000 opportunities last year
• Major specific "preview" at openings in C4T:

• go.umd.edu/BSOSjobs
• go.umd.edu/GEOGjobs
• go.umd.edu/GVPTjobs
• go.umd.edu/IRjobs
• go.umd.edu/CCJSjobs
• go.umd.edu/PSYCjobs
• go.umd.edu/ECONjobs

The Your Career BSOS website is a helpful resource to inform students of their options and best search strategies.

University Student Judiciary

UMD South Africa Summer 2020

The past twenty-five years in South Africa can be characterized as a period of chaotic, peaceful and volatile mix of political harmony and turmoil, an explosion of urban-cultural creativity, growth of unstoppable entrepreneurial activity, and a time when young people are challenging the relevance of society's political, cultural and economic structures and institutions. Calls for 'economic freedom', 'decolonized education', #FeesMustFall, and #RhodesMustFall (similar to ongoing tensions about symbols of the Confederacy in the United States) are some examples of contemporary South Africa's debates.

The African American Studies Department (AASD) seeks to offer students an opportunity to be part of this evolving South African experience. Through this program, you will participate in a diverse range of activities, including volunteering with selected organizations in and around Johannesburg, visiting key historical and political struggle sites, visiting the ecological parks such as the Blyde Canyon and the Kruger National Park, home stay with families in villages in Bushbuckridge, engaging with a range of speakers and activists drawn from academia, government, NGOs and the community, and participant observations to name just a few.
