The University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) is hosting the PROMISE STEM GRAD EXPO on Saturday, October 15, 2016 in the SMC Campus Center on UMB’s campus. This interactive event is being designed to inform, engage, and encourage underrepresented and under-served groups to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. With an emphasis on biomedical and related research areas, participants will receive a wealth of information about graduate school. Undergraduate students and career professionals considering a return to school for graduate studies will walk away with the ability to confidently apply to graduate school and finance their graduate education. The event will feature informative workshops, and conversations with deans, faculty, and current graduate students. Representatives from local colleges and universities will be on hand for a graduate fair to answer your questions.

This is a FREE event. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
