Our annual PROMISE AGEP Fall Harvest Dinner at College Park will be held on Friday, Nov. 16, 2012, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. This is our “Thanksgiving Dinner” for PROMISE graduate students, postdocs, alumni, faculty, and staff. Students have a chance to be rejuvenated, re-connect, and network with others on different campuses who share research and other interests.

This event is free for PROMISE graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff from UMCP, UMBC, UMB, and institutions within the University System of Maryland.

The Fall Harvest Dinner is sponsored by PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP with additional financial support from the Graduate School at the University of Maryland College Park and The Graduate School at UMBC.

Location: Adele’s Restaurant

Broadly, graduate students can participate in PROMISE regardless of their status (full-time, part-time), ethnicity, citizenship, discipline, or source of funding. Narrowly, students who are underrepresented will be strongly supported as they utilize the services and resources of PROMISE; these students can be encouraged to consider PROMISE to be one of their major mechanisms of support. Faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and staff are also welcome to attend.

Dear PROMISE community,

Over the last year, the NSF PROMISE AGEP has been strengthening relationships with NSF ADVANCE programs which serve women faculty. Some of the ADVANCE programs are working to broaden participation at the faculty level for women and for underrepresented scholars (male and female). You already know that UMBC has a Postdoctoral Fellowship for Faculty Diversity (applications due Nov. 16, 2012.) Our friends and colleagues at Northeastern also have invited PROMISE participants to apply for their fellowship, due January 2013.  Here are the details from Northeastern. Please note that we have other PROMISE alumni who have lived and worked in Massachusetts (MIT, Harvard, University of Massachusetts Amherst), so if you win the fellowship, we will be able to connect you with contacts.
