The University of Georgia Graduate School Outreach and Diversity Office (ODO) is delighted to announce the 10th annual Future Scholars Visitation Program to be held on November 7 – 9, 2010.

This opportunity serves as a recruitment tool for prospective graduate students to visit the University of Georgia campus. This program follows along with the University of Georgia’s strategic plan to create a more diverse environment by recruiting students from underrepresented populations. Graduating seniors and alumni from various institutions, including all Georgia colleges and universities, minority-serving institutions, and graduate preparation programs are invited to apply.

Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders in the sciences. As such, Pfizer is offering student employment opportunities with the goal of preparing students for careers in the pharmaceutical industry. The last date for students to apply is March 19.

These summer research opportunities are fully-funded and are an excellent way to gain a competitive edge toward graduate school. The Centers are currently accepting applications for the 2010 Summer Programs. Deadlines are rapidly approaching. I encourage those interested in applying to visit the Center website at www.nsfstc.org

The Summer undergraduate Research Program at UNT Health Science Center is now accepting applications and we welcome students to apply. Please forward this email to all students and contacts who may be interested
and thank you for helping students gain experience in preparation for their futures in science.

This is an eight-week program with the following goals:

- Provide an opportunity to undergraduate students to have a research
experience in mathematics.
- Help students develop skills to communicate the results of their research.
-Produce scientific publications.
-Encourage students to pursue a career in mathematics.

Multiple Opportunities – scholarship/summer research

Are you thinking about going to graduate school?

… Be SURE!

The Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering/Science
Program at Georgia Tech

I would like to bring to your attention outstanding opportunities for your talented LSAMP, CAMP or AMP underrepresented minority graduating seniors [African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Pacific Islanders (native Hawaiians, Guamanians, Samoans) Filipinos] who intend to earn a masters degree prior to pursuing the PhD. The California State University, Los Angeles MORE (Minority Opportunities in Research) Programs offers two mechanisms to support motivated students to pursue a full-time two-year research intensive MS in preparation to pursuing the PhD.

MESA students at San Diego City College and Southwestern Community College, MESA Engineering Program and Maximizing Science Potential students at San Diego State University can apply for a summer team internship starting NOW!

The George E. Brown Jr., Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is inviting applicants for its 2010 summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). NEES is a network of experimental sites across the country designed to enhance engineers’ and scientists’ potential for discovery and collaboration. The network includes state-of-the-art equipment to support physical simulations of earthquakes and tsunamis.
