Where: Kim Plaza When: Wednesday June 26th, 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Why: summer, end of RAE, graduations, nice weather.....so why not!? For those who are not familiar, the PEPR program (Program to Enhance Participation in Research) was created by Dr. Jewell approximately 5 years ago. In this program, grad students mentor high school students at Wheaton High School (Silver Spring, MD) on a research project of their choosing. At the end of the year, high school students visit UMD at evening for a Poster Symposium. This is a great opportunity to volunteer your time and inspire a younger generation of scientists. The time commitment expected will be similar to past years (visiting Wheaton High School approximately 6 times during the school year). New this year! --> We are looking for post-docs and grad students (year 3 or above in the Fall) interested in doing special topic lectures during the class time. Topics may include: making a poster, presenting research, literature review, developing a research topic, your own research, etc. Please complete this form if you are interested in being a mentor or lecturer for the 2019-2020 school year. Please complete the form by next Wednesday, May 22nd! Please note: this is not a binding contract! More information will be available in June. Thank you in advance! Do you find yourself doubting your qualifications or minimizing your accomplishments? Don't fret. What you may be feeling is the "Imposter Syndrome" . Fortunately, there are ways to overcome it! |
