GEM Grad Lab Event

Please join us for GEM GRAD Lab to be held at the Northeastern University; hosted by the Massachusetts Consortium – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Program (MC-STEMP); and Northeast Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NELSAMP); and sponsored by MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The MC-STEMP consortium is comprised of Boston University, Brown University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Northeastern University, Tufts University, University of Connecticut, and University of Massachusetts – Amherst. The NELSAMP alliance is comprised of Northeastern University, Tufts University, University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts – Amherst, University of Rhode Island, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

The NELSAMP poster symposium takes place on Friday, November 2 from 4:00PM – 9:00PM at Curry Student Center on the campus of Northeastern University.

The GEM GRAD Lab is on Saturday, November 3 from 9:00AM – 3:30PM at Northeastern University in the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex Bldg. #83 on the following map website link  http://www.northeastern.edu/campusmap/printable/campusmap15.pdf Attendees are expected to arrive on time and stay for the entire event. The GRAD Lab is a fun and engaging symposium where participants, science and engineering undergraduates, will receive full information on the importance of graduate school and what is needed to successfully gain admittance with financial support. Speakers range from current graduate students to university faculty and senior industry executives.

GRAD Lab encourages young people to consider graduate engineering or science education, and to 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 technology leader, successfully apply for a GEM fellowship, and gain entry to a graduate STEM program.

This event is an opportunity to learn about the GEM fellowship, which is a unique program for traditionally underrepresented students in STEM to help them go to graduate school. Please check out this link for more info
