Howard University in cooperation with the Atlantic-Coast Social Behavioral and Economic Sciences AGEP (NSF funded) will sponsor a Graduate School Visitation and Undergraduate Research Program from September 20-22, 2009 on the Howard University Campus in Washington, DC. Please share information about this opportunity with your colleagues and students.

 

            During the visitation, students will tour the Howard campus, visit laboratories, interact with faculty who make funding and admissions decisions, and  graduate students and experience a sampling of life at Howard and in Washington, DC. Students will also have the opportunity to showcase their own research. All expenses for travel, lodging, food and social events will be paid by the Howard University SBE AGEP. The application deadlines are September 3, 2009 (Visitation Program Application) & September 8, 2009 (Abstract Submission). Please see attached documents for details on the application process or visit www.gs.howard.edu/sbe .

 

                The AC-SBE Alliance is designed to increase the number of underrepresented minorities who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents completing the Ph.D. in SBES (social, behavioral and economic sciences) disciplines. It also seeks to increase the number of individuals in these disciplines who will pursue careers in the professoriate. Applicants must be recommended by a faculty member, be in their junior or senior year and have a minimum cumulative 3.2 GPA.

 

            I would like to thank you in advance for assisting us in disseminating this information. Please direct all inquiries to Dr. Kamilah Woodson at [log in to unmask] or Ms. Koren Bedeau at [log in to unmask] or call 202 806 6800.
