New Undergraduate Research Award with Special Collections
Apply to receive $500 from the Friends of the Library
Special Collections Invites Applications for Undergraduate
Research Award
The Friends of the Library & Gallery is inaugurating a
$500 award for undergraduates to do research in the library’s Special
Collections. Projects that make
substantial onsite use of the Special Collections in any area ranging from the
photography collections to the biological sciences archives, and from the rare
books to the science fiction holdings are eligible for consideration by the
committee charged with judging the applications. Applicants must submit a project statement, a
writing sample, and a letter of recommendation for them and their project from a
faculty mentor. The applications and
accompanying materials must be submitted to Chief Curator Tom Beck by November
12, 2015 for funding during the spring semester 2016.
Lois Kuhn Romeo, Chair of the Friends Council, said that the
group is delighted to offer support to student researchers in Special
Collections. “UMBC is nationally
recognized as an innovator in undergraduate research, and the Friends wishes to
recognize talented students by giving them support in doing their research,”
Ms. Romeo remarked. Acting Director of
the Library & Gallery Joyce Tenney said: “The Special Collections have
excellent holdings and superb staff that will be pleased to give the Friends
award winners the benefit of their expertise.”
Questions may be sent to Tom Beck by telephone (x53827) or
email (beck@umbc.edu).

Getting Ready For Advanced Degrees? Grad School is for You!
2015 GEM GRAD Lab is coming to UMBC on Sept 19th - Join Us!
An invitation for all UMBC students interested in getting ahead and planning for the future:
Plan to attend the 2015 GEM GRAD Lab at UMBC, a regional program that UMBC is hosting
to increase the numbers of students from underrepresented backgrounds
(African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Alaska Native, Native
American), who will have access to information about getting STEM M.S.
and doctoral degrees. The workshop is open to everyone, from any background. In
an effort to broaden participation in STEM, the National Science
Foundation sponsors programs like this one because there are only a
small percentage of people who earn STEM advanced degrees who come from
underrepresented backgrounds. In some fields, the numbers are less than
5%.
I am inviting you to the Regional GEM
GRAD Lab at UMBC on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2015. UMBC will host this free
event! Free breakfast and lunch will be served, and you will receive a
resource packet with information about applying to graduate school,
funding, and more! It is sponsored by a variety of universities on the
east coast, with primary sponsorship from the National Science
Foundation. This free event will be held in the Engineering Building on
campus. Students from UVA, Howard, Penn State, Binghamton University in
NY, College Park, and students from other schools will be coming.
The information, agenda, registration link, etc. can be found here:
Dr. Patti Ordóñez (Computer Science), and Dr.
Frances Carter-Johnson (Physics and Public Policy), are UMBC alumnae.
Please spread the word! Note that the event is open to all students.
- Yes, freshmen and sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors, are invited to attend.
- Yes, you may attend if you've recently transferred to UMBC.
- Yes, you can invite your friends from other schools.
- Yes,
this program is open to students from any gender, ethnicity, or age. It
will be STEM-based, but students from other disciplines are also
welcome to attend.
- Yes, colleagues from community colleges may attend.
- Yes, faculty and staff may attend.
This GEM GRAD Lab is free, but please register ASAP!
See the highlighted link above.
I'll be one of your speakers, and I will look forward to welcoming you!
Best regards,
Renetta Tull
