Dear PROMISE and Friends,

During the 2014 PROMISE SSI, we discussed Dr. Jemison’s 100YSS project. Here is the information for the Symposium:

http://2014.symposium.100yss.org/

PROMISE is not able to sponsor students for this conference since we will be hosting the PROMISE/GEM GRAD LAB on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at the University of Maryland College Park. However, if you are interested in attending, please talk with your department to see if they will sponsor your trip. As we receive more information, we will share them in the comment section for this post.
