Darian Harnish had a great summer working with numbers for the federal government, instead of shoveling mulch. The summer emerged from a University of Maryland fellowship, which led to an internship at the National Income and Wealth Division of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)<\/a>. There Harnish combined his two majors, economics and accounting, in an environment designed for him to do more than “just run and get coffee.”<\/p>\n

“My supervisors and division chief have taken time to bring me on board with projects that I am interested in,” said Harnish, a senior at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU). “I have had the opportunity to work on projects ranging from preparing reports and presentations to compiling and vetting data for a database.”<\/p>\n

Competitive from EMU<\/h3>\n

“One of my big fears when I put in my deposit at EMU was that I would not have access to the same opportunities students at some of the larger and more well-known universities do,” said Harnish. “My acceptance into this fellowship calmed that fear as well as reaffirming the fact that EMU has prepared me to enter my field.”<\/p>\n

Harnish’s BEA internship was part of a junior fellowship from the Joint Program of Survey Methodology at the University of Maryland.<\/p>\n

“I knew I did not want to return to throwing mulch again this summer and immediately looked into the program,” said Harnish. “The fellowship program matches each fellow with a bureau and I was fortunate enough to end up in an economics agency.”<\/p>\n

The fellowship program placed undergrads in federal statistical agencies and hosted field visits and seminars on survey methodology. Weekly seminars were held on the University of Maryland campus.<\/p>\n

“I’ve had the opportunity to meet with the Chief Statistician of the United States and tour many of the other bureaus, including the Bureau of Justice Statistics and Census<\/a>,” said Harnish.<\/p>\n

Beyond theory<\/h3>\n

In addition, Harnish found the fellowship program was a way to move “beyond theory and explore math.”<\/p>\n

“While I enjoyed my course in survey methodology, I was more interested in the possibility of working for one of the federal economics agencies. I saw this program as a good way to move beyond theory and explore the math.”<\/p>\n

In his internship, Harnish said he got hands-on experience using concepts taught by Chris Gingrich, professor of economics<\/a>, and Jim Leaman<\/a>, associate professor of business and economics. In addition, “Chris (Gingrich) and Jim (Leaman) pushed me to develop my communication skills, both written and verbal, which was very helpful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
