A recap of the past week’s posts

Around 2:30 this morning (Friday into Saturday) I was hanging out at a friend’s place when I  was informed that the fire alarms were going off in Erickson and that there were sirens and police abounding. I was curious, and one of my friends visiting from Erickson was concerned, so we went over to check it out. I saw one fire engine, and two police cars, one of which pulled up right as I was getting there.

I went to talk to some of the Erickson residents who were awakened/disturbed by the late/early hour of the fire alarms, and spoke with…

As a marketing intern I have spent the last nine months helping promote on-campus events to improve campus life for UMBC students. Through this experience I have learned integral marketing skills by compiling information for promotional material and working with various departments, providing them with my own insight.

The marketing interns consist of five students, including myself. Although we all work together, we’re each responsible for different aspects of marketing. Each week I am responsible for assembling a weekly schedule of campus events which I use to write the “Upcoming Events” article on UMBC Underground. The graphic designers of the group…

For those of you who don’t know, Girl Talk is famous for…
