Description

Students, faculty, and staff — bring your lunch and stay connected with the UMBC academic community. 

Museum exhibitions are about more than just the artifacts -- they are about stories, languages, traditions, and histories. Join UMBC's CoLab team as they share their hands-on experience reshaping the Walters Art Museum's current 'Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano' exhibition.

The ability to work effectively in a team is a valuable skill for students of all majors. UMBC’s Interdisciplinary CoLab internship program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty to collaborate on relevant real-world projects during the summer session.
