It's Audit Time--DON"T IGNORE THIS
|
Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about
registration for next semester! All
BSOS students with between 75-89 credits are required to complete an official
academic audit in preparation for graduation.
What is an official academic audit?
The academic audit is an official review of what degree
requirements you have finished and what you still need to complete. Doing
an audit now is important to prevent graduation problems in your last
semester.
When must the audit be completed?
Students with 75 – 89 credits will be required to complete an
audit before being able to register for Spring 2015 classes.
Why is it important for you to complete an audit?
1. It gives you a chance to review what courses
you have taken to ensure that they have been recorded correctly.
2. It allows you to verify what courses and/or
credits you are missing in order to meet graduation requirements.
3. It makes sure that you, your department and
the college are all working with the same information.
Where do I go to complete the audit?
You may complete your audit in one of two ways:
1.
Online.
For 4 weeks – Friday, September 19th to Friday, October 17th – the online system will be open. This allows students to complete
their audit without having to meet with their advisors in person. To complete your audit online,
please go to: http://www.onlineaudit.bsos.umd.edu/ and follow the instructions.
2. In Person.
***Preference is for all audits to be completed online. Skip the first set of questions as they don't pertain to SG students. Please use degree navigator. Dr. Stickle will correct any inaccuracies!

Study Politics in Argentina (Where it will be Summer) this Winter!
|
This winter, study local politics in Latin America from
within. The political landscape of Latin America has changed dramatically in
the last twenty five years, as most authoritarian regimes in the region gave
way to democratic ones. In these democratic environments, political conflicts
have increasingly emerged between national and local political institutions.
In this course you will explore the tensions between federal and local
politics in the third largest federal country of Latin America: Argentina.
The seminar will combine class lectures, cultural immersion, and considerable
on-the-ground interaction with scholars, activists, and politicians in the
Pampas and Patagonia.
This program will take place in several cities of Argentina,
including Buenos Aires, Neuquen, and San Carlos de Bariloche.
The program will be directed by Dr. Ernesto Calvo, Associate
Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Government and Politics, a
native of Buenos Aires. Highlights of the program:
§ Close interaction
with Argentine local, provincial, and national decision-makers
§ Guest lectures by
leading Argentine scholars
§ Opportunity to
develop Spanish language skills and vocabulary important to social sciences
§ Hiking in the
Argentine Andean region
After you commit to the program, Education Abroad will enroll
you in one of the following three (3) credit UMD courses:
§ GVPT358K Study
Abroad Seminar in Political Science: From the Pampas to the Andes: Political
Culture and Local Politics in Argentina
§ LASC369K Special

Description:

The
DOCR Detention Services Division offers unpaid, academic internship
opportunities for undergraduate and graduate level students in the social
sciences and criminal justice fields. Internship opportunities are primarily
provided through the Reentry Services Unit and Inmate Services Case
Management staff who primarily serve the inmate population at the Montgomery
County Correctional Facility (MCCF).
These sections strive to ensure information and services are available to address the full range of individual reentry and program needs of the inmate population, and academic interns are directly engaged to observe and learn these processes as well as maintain individual responsibilities in providing portions of these programs and services. MCCF Case Management directly works with the inmate population in relation to facility processes and coordination of needs and issues within the local criminal justice system. Some Case Managers also maintain a larger role to provide core program groups within specialized program housing units to include the Choices for Change Program for men, women, and youthful offenders. The Reentry Services Unit provides programs and services to the entire population with a variety of reentry oriented workshops, program groups, and individual services. In addition to programs, the Reentry Services Unit completes Reentry Intake Screening and Needs Assessments to identify individual inmate issues and further provides individual Reentry Case Management to a portion of the population with a clinical focus. The spirit of our reentry mission is to provide comprehensive services and support to returning citizens as individuals, as members of their families, and as members of our community. While we have established programs and services within Inmate Services Case Management and the Reentry Services Unit that support our academic internship opportunities, we are also open to exploring specific areas of student interest to ensure a rounded placement and experience. Interested students should directly contact and submit requested materials to: Kendra Jochum, LCSW-C Reentry Services Manager, Intern Coordinator Direct Line: (240) 773-9982 Fax: (240) 773 9946 Email: Kendra.Jochum@montgomerycountymd.gov |

ABA Death Penalty Representation Project Spring Internship
ABA Death
Penalty Representation Project Spring Internship
American Bar
Association
Position Type:
Internship (Fall or Spring Part-Time)
Location:
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)
The ABA created
the Project in 1986 in order to better inform the bar and public about the lack
of representation available to death row inmates. We address this urgent need
by recruiting competent, volunteer attorneys, offering counsel training and
assistance, and working for systemic reform to ensure that individuals facing a
sentence of death are represented at every stage of the proceedings by
competent counsel.
The ABA Death
Penalty Representation Project provides unpaid internships for Fall, Spring and
Summer semester undergraduate students. In the Fall and Spring semesters,
internships are full or part time (15 to 20+ hours per week) and in the Summer,
internships are full time (35 to 40 hours per week). Interns can complete an
internship for course credit. Previous experience with or knowledge of the
death penalty is not required.
Internship
projects could include:
1.Recruitment:
One of the Project’s primary goals is to find representation for death row
prisoners who are without counsel. This effort requires an extensive nationwide
firm-recruiting process, and the undergraduate intern assists with reaching and
contacting firms across the country, creating and updating computer databases
with firm information, and sending out invitations to these firms for the
Project’s recruitment meetings. The intern assists in tracking potential
recruits.
2.Prisoner
requests for assistance: The Project receives hundreds of letters from
prisoners looking for legal counsel. Using materials provided, the intern will
be asked to research the prisoners’ cases and determine whether the Project can
help.
3.Website: The
Project maintains a website that contains resources for attorneys representing
capital defendants. Interns are responsible for keeping the site records updated
and posting new items. A working knowledge of website maintenance and social
media is helpful.
4.Editing: The
Project maintains thousands of resource materials from both national and
international sources. The intern will be asked to edit and format these
documents and keep detailed accounts of all files. Attention to detail is of
the utmost importance.
5. Other duties
as assigned: Interns are encouraged to explore areas of interest to them while
interning at the Project, and creativity and initiative are highly valued.
Interns are expected to be self-starters, motivated, and interested in
contributing significantly to the Project and its mission.
Desired Class
Level(s):
Sophomore, Junior, Senior
Duration:
12-14 weeks
Approximate
Hours Per Week:
15 to 20
Qualifications:
Interest in the death penalty or criminal justice, attention to detail, and

setting is a plus.
