Graduate Students,
Representatives
from the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) would like to meet with
UMBC's underrepresented STEM graduate students on Tuesday, February 26,
2013. This is a follow-up from the survey administered at the PROMISE
Fall Opening Meeting, and via email last semester.
Thank you for
participating in that endeavor! This Doctoral Initiative on Minority
Attrition and Completion (DIMAC) looks at universities that have AGEP
programs like PROMISE along with other institutions to examine
minorityPhD completion and attrition. UMBC has been chosen as one of 21
universities across the U.S. for this unique project! We ask for your
continued help; please meet with CGS reps on Feb. 26.
CGS wants to meet with students with the following backgrounds:
1) STEM field (includes Social Sciences, but not Education, Humanities, LLC)
2) Doctoral program (not M.S., unless you are in an M.S. program en route to the Ph.D.)
3) U.S. Citizen or Perm. Resident
All of the Focus Groups will be held on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, in Commons 318.
