🌟 Thrilled to share my experience as a DOE Scholar supporting the Justice40 initiative! 🌟 As a rising junior double majoring in economics and mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park, this summer has been incredibly rewarding. I have been working on creating a relational database of Justice40 data by integrating multiple datasets into an database, focused on ensuring that 40% of climate investment benefits reach disadvantaged communities. In addition to this, I've reached out to utility companies and public service commissions across the nation to gather data on utility shutoffs and arrearage information. This effort aligns with the EIA-EJE partnership to explore utility shutoff payback clauses. With many states having halted shutoffs during COVID-19, customers are now facing large bills. Our goal is to find data that shows the impact of these moratoria on disadvantaged communities. We’re exploring state energy offices, federal agencies, and university studies to understand this issue better. I’ve also been utilizing Microsoft Office to design and analyze documentation, presentations, and visualizations to support our reports. This internship has provided me with valuable skills in data analysis, statistical reasoning, database management, and technical communication. Weekly progress reports, mentor collaboration, and group meetings have been vital in developing my expertise in these areas. In addition, I've had the pleasure of meeting wonderful professionals and scholars who have offered invaluable advice on graduate school, career paths, and beyond. Their guidance has been instrumental in shaping my academic and professional goals. A huge thank you to my mentors Alvin Bates, PMP, Dr. Anjuli Jain Figueroa, and the fantastic team at EJE for their support and guidance. I also would like to thank and acknowledge the UMD Fellows Program for connecting me with this opportunity and helping me build the skills needed for this role! #Justice40 #DOE #Internship #DataAnalysis #DatabaseManagement #Equity #UMD #Economics #Statistics #TechnicalCommunication #Mentorship

What do capstone courses, internships, first year seminars, common intellectual experiences, group projects, global perspectives, service learning, fostering learning communities, undergraduates working on research, and capturing these activities in a portfolio of work have in common? These are what the American Association of Colleges and Universities defines as high-impact practices. They are activities that the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) has proven to have an impact on student success – with outsized impact on underserved students. I recently gave a short talk on high impact practices and thought it'd be useful to share. Give a listen and let me know what you think! #highereducation #highered #collegesanduniversities #studentsuccess #highimpactpractices #assessment

DC Internship 🏛️ Fall 2024 Student Ambassador, Sydney Hudson! 🎓 Intern of Defense Budgeting in the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation 💼 International Business and Political Science Double Major at Gardner-Webb University 🌐 Young Leaders Program at The Heritage Foundation, intern of Defense Budgeting in the Allison Center for National Security I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to learn and contribute at the Heritage Foundation through the Young Leaders Program this semester. Most of my time is spent researching various defense issues and co-authoring pieces with my supervisor. One of the special parts of interning for Heritage is the opportunity to publish. It is amazing to be trusted with informing policymakers and the public about important issues. Another unique aspect of the Heritage internship is programming for interns from all departments, where the entire internship cohort comes together to learn about a policy issue, historical topic, or professional readiness skill. Heritage aims to build “an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.” Heritage has a truly amazing culture that flows from this mission. The experts there are so willing to pour into the interns and allow us to work on important projects. I have grown so much and am excited for what the rest of the semester holds. #DCInternship #ExploreDC #InternLife #DCAdventures #StudentLife #WashingtonDC #InterningInDC #CityExploration #DCMuseums #InternExperience #DiscoverDC #InternshipGoals #DCStudyAbroad #DCDiscovery #InternshipExperience #DCSights #InternLifeDC
