DOE Scholars Program

Hey all,

Hope everyone had a great break and are ready to finish out the semester strong. 

As we have mentioned several times, there is tremendous amount of opportunity for summer research available.  These programs can be found through the NSF, NASA, DOE, NNSA, and a host of other government agencies. Applications are coming due soon for the upcoming summer. 

Though most programs are current students that will continue on for the Fall 2013 semester, there are a couple of opportunities for the current seniors like the DOE Scholars Program. A poster is up on the doors in the 4th Floor of Smith Hall and it is also attached. 

This is an great opportunity for all students and the application is pretty easy. (I'm about 90% done and it took me a little over an hour.)

Subject: REU Program Updates--Reminder from IBP

Dear David:

We are gearing up for our fall reminder to students and their mentors about applying to REUs or other summer research opportunities for next summer. As you may know, we contact several thousand students from our student directory (the majority of whom are underrepresented minority students) to remind them to apply. They can search for and contact programs and opportunities posted on our site, www.pathwaystoscience.org<http://www.pathwaystoscience.org>.

If you are not sure what programs we have listed, you can find our current listing of programs at your institution here:  http://www.pathwaystoscience.org/Institution.asp?sort=Institution&subsort=TowsonU

If you would like to update a program, click the "Click here to submit program updates<http://www.pathwaystoscience.org/programform.asp?sort=MAI-AcadiaNP-TeacherRanger>" link at bottom of program info page.

If you would like to post a new program that is not yet listed, you can fill out our online program form here: http://www.pathwaystoscience.org/programform.asp or send me your information in an email.

If you are not sure whether your program should be posted, first please read our posting criteria: http://www.pathwaystoscience.org/whatwepost.asp

If you are not offering your program this year or need to make other changes please feel free to let us know. Also, if you have other colleagues who are working with REUs please feel free to pass this along to them.

We will send out general announcements to faculty, staff and students as well as reminders to students to apply over the next few weeks before the holiday season. Soliciting your updates is the first step in that process.

Thank you for helping us get accurate information out about your program to potential students!

Best regards.
David

From:	Crystal Bailey <bailey@aps.org>
To:	<jrsimpson@towson.edu>

Good evening,

 

This is just a quick note to let you know that, as in previous years, APS will be offering travel awards to students who are presenting at the APS March and April Meetings in Baltimore and Denver. 

 

We will get more details on the awards up on the website shortly—however, students must have an abstract submitted to the meeting in order to be eligible for the award.  The deadline for Abstract submission to the APS March meeting is this Friday, November 9.  So if your students have not yet submitted their abstracts to the March Meeting, please encourage them to do so by Friday if they intend to apply for travel funding.

 

Also, if your students wish to have their presentations judged at the meeting, and receive feedback as well as a certificate recognizing their participation, they will need to submit their abstracts in Category 25.1 – SPS Undergraduate Research.

 

More details on the Future of Physics Days events at APS March and April will be made available soon.  In the meantime, if you have any further questions at this time, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Best,

Crystal
