Dear Students,
Are you interested in pursuing an advanced degree in STEM (see flyer attached)? If so, please join us on Saturday, October 21, for a GEM GRAD Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park! GRAD Lab encourages young people of color to consider graduate education in STEM fields and apply for the GEM fellowship. Focusing on the global importance of research and innovation, life-long career benefits, and real world role models, the symposium will help each student envision his or her future as a science and technology leader, successfully apply for a GEM fellowship, and gain entry to a graduate program. This GRAD Lab will also highlight environmental careers, and is hosted by the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), along with the University of Maryland-College Park’s Clark School of Engineering and College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences.
GRAD lab features sessions on:
· “Why Graduate School”
· “How to Prepare for Graduate School”
· “Understanding the GEM Fellowship”, and
· “Voices From the Field: Real Life Research and Internship Experiences”
Additionally, GRAD lab will feature a Graduate Resource Fair and an ice cream social. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. The event will be held at the Kim Engineering Building on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. The program will run from9am-3:45pm, followed by an ice cream social ending at 5pm.
