PROMISE: Maryland's AGEP is dedicated to increasing the numbers and diversity of Ph.D.s in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields. PROMISE also provides a strong support system for underrepresented students of all fields, and for all graduate students.  Come out for dinner and connections.

We have continually heard many of the same questions:

• Does UMBC have any other students who went to HBCUs?
  
• I came from a small town in the south. Are there any other students from Atlanta or Mississippi?
• Are there any other students from the Caribbean?
  
• I heard that there are only a few graduate students from the African Diaspora, where are they?
  
• I miss being able to hear and speak Spanish. Where are the other students from Puerto Rico, Mexico, or South America?
  

This connection meeting will allow you to meet other students, staff, postdocs, and faculty members who will answer the questions in person!

Dinner will be served. Please feel free to bring your family members, including children. If you are bringing family members, please let us know how many in the comments below. Children of our students always love it when we have programs in the game room!
