Following up on our 2015 and 2019 alumni surveys, we are conducting another one to build on our knowledge of where they have been. Our numbers keep growing and there are now 385 BPhil, 111 BIS and 51 MPhil alumni. Previous surveys focused on the BPhil program, but we’re expanding it now to include all programs. Here are some highlights from the 2019 survey: - 53% response rate (154 submissions!)  - 80% of alumni had completed or were pursuing additional studies  - Fields of work with the highest representation were education, health services, government and legal  - Alumni wanted there to be a continuing focus on; internships, sense of community, small cohorts, community connections, learning how to address challenging problems, staff/faculty interaction, building self-awareness, and unconventional approaches to educational models. The current survey will be open until March 7, so tag another RC alumni in the comments that you think should fill it out, partly because we’ll be drawing for an RC swag pack for every 50 submissions we receive. Each pack will include a toque, t-shirt and mug https://lnkd.in/d6hY8Kyb

🌟 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

Last week, I had the privilege of sharing the Office of Experiential Learning's work at the University of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business during Pearson Higher Education's "From Classroom to Career" event. Did you know that nearly 50% of students get most of their career advice from their parents? Experiential learning can help! According to the Student Voice survey, 55% of students who participated in experiential learning, including internships, realized they wanted a career in that field.
