CCB Internship News: New Procedure for Posting Internship Positions
After several years of maintaining the Internship Blog, I have decided I can no longer use it to post internship positions for the students of the CCB. The blog has outgrown its usefulness and it doesn't have the features that other job and internship portals offer. We (me and the CCB administration) have decided that the UMD Career Development Center's Careerlink system will now be home to all internship postings and jobs. You (students) interested in applying for internships, should make it a habit to search using the Careerlink (http://www.umassd.edu/career/careerlink/). The Career Development Staff along with CCB personnel, myself, and some of our faculty, are working to point prospective internship providers and employers to Careerlink so that it is the sole place to find internship opportunities geared to UMD students. I suggest that if you are looking to land an internship for Fall 2015 that you start soon to check on what's up on Careerlink. Just this week, I have been asking employers to enter their opportunities into the Careerlink database so students can begin applying.
For at least for the short-term, I will keep this blog up and running but it will be more for informational purposes. I will use it to post advice and announcements and I may use it to highlight excellent opportunities, as time permits. However, all students should keep in mind that if you need assistance with career planning, help with your resume, preparing for interviews, and understanding career paths/options, that the excellent staff of the Career Development Center stands ready to help. Contact information for the CDC can be found at http://www.umassd.edu/career/
I will continue to direct the internship program for Charlton in addition to my duties as a full-time accounting professor however, I will have help. A faculty member in each department (DIS and Management/Marketing) will soon be appointed to coordinate internships. I will also coordinate the accounting and finance ones. To learn more about CCB's internship program and how you can earn credit for an internship, go to our web page at: http://www.umassd.edu/charlton/internship/
We will soon be updating our internship web page for these new arrangements and I am sure you will continue to see announcements from me as the semester approaches and throughout the school year. I can also share with you developments regarding career development workshops, internship information sessions, and job fairs as those plans become firm. I am quite aware of the work being done by the new career development staff to plan a calendar of events to serve the students of the university. I think there will be quite a bit of exciting things during the next academic year to help you connect with interesting career paths.
Stay tuned.

Personal Finance Course Starts July 21. 100% Online, 100% Useful
Ramp Up Your Personal Financial Literacy This Summer
Stepping Stone
More About the Professor
If you would like to read more about my professional background, my biographical sketch can be found via this link: http://www.umassd.edu/charlton/faculty/alphabeticallisting/griffinmichael/ I try to bring my perspective to this course as someone who has not only been a full-time professor at UMASS for 30 years but has continued to consult and advise in the personal financial planning field.
How to Enroll
To enroll in the course, visit UMD’s University Extension site, where registration is ongoing. You can also read the course description and download a copy of the syllabus. The link to register is http://www.umassd.edu/extension/
Charlton College of Business, UMASS Dartmouth
For over 30 years, one of my passions has been personal financial
planning. When I first came out of graduate
school – way back in the early 1980s, I was fortunate to land a job as a
planner at E.F. Hutton and Company, a Wall Street based investment banking and
brokerage firm known for its advertising tagline: “When E.F. Hutton speaks,
everybody listens.” Hutton was also
making a name for itself in the field of Personal Financial Planning and I
worked in their Providence office providing fee-based planning services to high
net worth clients. That’s where I first
learned that one of the secrets of accumulating wealth is an integrated
approach. All areas of personal finance
need attention to maximize and preserve wealth including budgeting, borrowing, risk
management and insurance, income and estate taxes, investments, and retirement
assets. Although I found investing the
most exciting part of the puzzle, I learned that you can’t focus on just that
to grow your net worth. Before you
invest in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. you must have certain foundational
things in good order.
In FIN320 Personal Finance, our online course that serves as
an introduction to personal financial planning, I take students through the
personal financial planning process including how to:- Set financial goals
- Manage a career
- Manage a budget
- Use math to calculate present and future values, annuities, and loan payments
- Mitigate risks
- Manage credit
- Buy a home
- Start investing program
- Plan for retirements
Stepping Stone
This course also is
appealing to people who are interested in entering the financial services
filed. Certainly this course could be a first step toward making personal
financial planning a profession via jobs such as planer, advisors, stock
broker, investment and insurance sales or perhaps achieving certifications and
designations in the field such as the CPA, ChFC, CFP, CLU, CFA, and RIA. If you work at a bank or credit union and
want to learn more about financial products or just want to make sure that you
do all the right things running a household. This course will not position you
to become certified as a financial planner overnight but it could be a stepping
stone, as it was for me, into the financial planning world. I took a similar
course at Providence College when I was an undergraduate student and it sparked
my interest in a field that has exploded and is expected to continue to grow. According
to CFP board: “Americans
are struggling to pull their finances together and plan for the future. The
financial planning profession is growing to address that need, with the career
path expected to grow 41% by 2016, according to Money Magazine and Payscale.com.”
Details on the Course
The course will run from Jul 21, 2015-to Aug 19, 2015 and is
100% online. I utilize our basic
Blackboard system which is easy and straightforward to use and a robust
learning system called McGraw-Hill’s Connect – which is paired with a very
readable personal finance textbook. Students
will work on a case solution that will require they examine various areas of personal
financial planning concern for a family.
There are no prerequistes for the course and therefore
everyone –business and nonbusiness majors and nondegree seeking students are
welcome. This is a course that might
satisfy an elective (3 credits) or it may simply be a valuable self-improvement
exercise for anyone who wants to ramp up their financial literacy and open up
some options and strategies for financial security. I receive very positive
feedback from this course.More About the Professor
