California Alliance for Minority Participation - CAMP UCR

Hello CAMPers! We'll have our third general meeting of the quarter this Thursday from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. We don't have a speaker scheduled, instead this meeting is to practice for future symposiums. We had two wonderful speakers from UCR Today last quarter talk about poster presentations. This is an opportunity for us to practice our presentation skills and see how other students organize/format their posters. Whether you have a poster or not, whether you're an experienced presenter or you haven't presented before, we would love to have you here to relax with friends, provide feedback, and learn new skills. We look forward to seeing you and good luck with your midterms!

Our second general meeting of the quarter is this Thursday, January 31st! We'll have a UCR alum guest speaker this week, Alex Cortez! He is an academic coordinator for the Dynamic Genome Program on campus and is involved in many other programs as well. We look forward to seeing you at our meeting, please come prepared with questions!

We're so excited to have our first meeting of the quarter and catch up with you! This week we'll have a social at the Teaching and Learning Center in Rivera library. Can't wait to see you there!

Hello CAMPers! Last week we shared some information about the NSF GRFP application. Afterwards we looked around for other fellowships and found quite a few! We've put them into a document on the iLearn page (filed under 'Documents'). If you don't have access yet, email us at [email protected] and we'll get you set up!

Hello CAMPers! For those of you are planning on applying to graduate school this fall, a wonderful opportunity opened up recently! The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program opened up its application! This is a prestigious fellowship which will support you for three years as you work toward your Master's or Ph.D. at an accredited institution.

Hope everyone is having a great summer! Don't forget to utilize your summer to your advantage: if you're planning on applying to graduate school, study for the GRE, look at graduate programs, maybe get started on personal statement drafts.
