Here’s how senior Tristen Shores is spending his summer! Internships and experiential learning are key components, and a requirement, in all of our undergraduate programs Our Miners are learning how to #ChangeTheWorld!🌍⛏️🌎

Some of the students got stuck after "What's your name?" and "What do you do?" at our networking workshop. They feel like they cannot ask anything not professionally-related during networking. We told them to ask about their job as follow ups: What is your favorite part about your job? What are your challenges? What is your company culture like? Meanwhile, in the back of the room, Michelle Quevedo-Penn and I reminisced about me breaking the ice by talking about a great carnitas joint around the corner from where we were and how she was looking for ways to welcome new team members. 😆 So, what is your networking style? Are you all business? Or are you more casual? What are some of your networking icebreaker questions? And why is it not "What's your favorite dinosaur?" #networkingtips #professionaldevelopment

This summer, I have been taking my final class to complete my degree along with my internship at Towson University Admissions. The class is BUSX 460 (Professional Experience), and so far I have learned important concepts and skills that I consider necessary for my professional career. Root cause analysis (RCA) is one of those skills that I hope to continue practicing and improving on. Feel free to give it a read and let me know your thoughts! #RCA #RootCauseAnalysis

Here is the second task of my summer internship from #ApnaGuide which is to create a #ML model to predict rainfall. Apna Guide

🌟 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
