DEADLINE EXTENDED: Opportunities in Genomics Research Undergrauate Programs in genomics and related fields Title: Opportunities in Genomics Research (OGR)

OGR invites bright, innovative, and talented students to participate in our summer (Undergraduate Scholars) or postbaccalaureate (Extensive Study) research programs. The goal of OGR is to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue PhDs in genomics and related fields. Interested students may apply to:

Undergraduate Scholars Program 

Application deadline: FEBRUARY 28, 2017
The program dates are May 31 - August 2, 2017

A 10-week summer program focused on engaging students in research and intensive academic enhancement/graduate school preparation workshops. 

Extensive Study Program 
Application deadline: MAY 12, 2017 
The program dates for 2017/2018 are August 8, 2017 - June 30, 2018

A year-long program designed for recent graduates offering the opportunity for research experience and more mentoring prior to entering a graduate program. 

All students participating in the OGR Undergraduate Scholars or Extensive Study programs will be part of a top lab team led by one of many renowned scientists at Washington University School of Medicine. All students will give oral presentations of their research findings at the end of their respective programs.

Benefits include:
  • A $4,000 stipend for Undergraduate Scholars
  • For Extensive Study, the stipend/salary is comparable to that of a graduate student, (see website for details and contact information if you have questions)
  • For summer students, on-campus housing and travel to the program are provided
Both programs are looking for students pursuing a Major/Degree in Science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (with some exceptions, see website for details). 
Some majors may be an exception, like Psychology or Behavioral Sciences, but only if the student has 1) taken STEM courses and 2) expressed a desire to work in the biomedical research field

1.  Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Carly Sciandra and I am a junior Biology major with a Chemistry and History minor. I hope to obtain my MD/Ph.D in the future and spend the rest of my life helping others.

2.  Tell us about how you are involved on campus.

I am:

- an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Michael Summers HIV Structural Biology Lab

-the secretary/Risk Management Officer for Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity

-an athlete tutor and Organic Chemistry LA

3.  How long have you been tutoring/working as an SI/PASS Leader. 

-this is my third semester

4.  How and why did you get involved in SI/PASS?

I LOVED going to PASS_SI sessions when I took Biology 141. The confidence the leader instilled in me in my knowledge made me determined to become a leader to do the same for incoming students.

5.  What is your favorite thing about being an SI/PASS Leader?

I love watching students interact in groups to learn material that once confused them. The expression and pride they get when they finally grasp material is extremely rewarding.

6.  Why should students attend SI/PASS sessions?

Even if you are completely confident in the class or struggling to understand something, coming to these sessions will give a student the ability to work with peers to see their perspective on the material. They can gain more confidence through teaching others or work on understanding material through group work and activities.

7.  What advice would you give students about how to prepare for an SI/PASS session?

Read the textbook and take notes on the chapter.

8.  When and where can someone participate in your SI/PASS sessions?

SI/PASS Sessions Schedules are available online on our website.

My CHEM 352 sessions are on Wednesdays  11:00 – 11:50 a.m. and  Fridays 11:00 – 11:50 a.m. in SOND 208

Are you interested in participating in an international competition surrounding new innovation in synthetic biology and genetic engineering?

International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) is an international competition for students interested in:
  • Synthetic biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration (Yes English and Computer Science majors are welcome!!)
iGEM runs three main programs:
  • iGEM Competition - an international competition for students interested in the field of synthetic biology
  • Labs Program - a program for academic labs to use the same resources as the competition teams
  • Registry of Standard Biological Parts - a growing collection of genetic parts use for building biological devices and systems.

The iGEM team at UMBC has participated in the competition before and traveled to Boston and won the Bronze prize!

For more information:

If you are interested, please contact swath1@umbc.edu and come out to the interest meeting on

He is an American Studies and Political Science major as well as a McNair scholar. His career goal is to become an academic and an editorial writer. Prior to his research, he was more interested in policy than discourse analysis. Now, he would like to eventually write books on different types of discourse within America, particularly of a political nature or relating to African-American issues.

Richard's research will explore the cultural and linguistic approach that was used to analyze the effect that speeches by members of the right-wing Tea Party Caucus have had on conservative political discourse. The rhetoric of these politicians after their ascendance in the 2010 congressional elections was compared to the rhetoric used by John McCain, the Republican nominee in 2008, and Donald Drumpf, the Republican nominee in 2016 and current POTUS. This analysis could explain the mind set of the oval office.
