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.

• Date & Time: Saturday, October 15, 2016, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Location: University of Maryland Baltimore, Southern Management Corporation Student Center – 621 W. Lombard Street SMC 2nd Floor, Baltimore, MD 21201

This event is sponsored by PROMISE: Maryland’s Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP-T), and The Graduate School at the University of Maryland Baltimore.

Please mark the date. Stay tuned to this page for regular updates, and additional information.

Greetings PROMISE participants! You are invited to join us for our PROMISE trip to the 2016 Southern Regional Education Board’s Compact for Faculty Diversity/Institute for Teaching and Mentoring. Each year, as an AGEP family, we travel together to the SREB conference in either Atlanta, Virginia, or Tampa.  The October 2016 conference is in Tampa, Florida, and we’re inviting you to go. The website for “The Compact” is here: http://www.instituteonteachingandmentoring.org/.  We repeat what we said last year, “If you went to the 2016 PROMISE SSI on August 20, 2016, think of The Compact as SSI …  quadrupled!”

The 23rd Annual Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring will be held at the Marriott Tampa Waterside Hotel & Marina, Tampa, Florida from Thursday – Sunday, October 27 – 30, 2016.

There are nearly 1000 early career faculty, postdocs, and graduate students from around the U.S. at the conference.  In order to go, you need to be nominated by the PROMISE AGEP. Read some of our former posts for the SREB conference from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015  here.

YOU can go with us to Florida! This is all-expenses paid  trip that includes flight, select meals, and lodging. This invitation is for  graduate students who plan to actively pursue faculty careers. PROMISE must nominate you. You cannot nominate yourself. We will take as many people as we can, depending on funding. One year, we had so many great responses that we received additional funding and we took 30 people! Funding is limited this year, so please read through the information below.

Here are some facts about the conference: 

• The 23rd Annual Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring will be held at the Marriott Tampa Waterside Hotel & Marina, Tampa, Florida from Thursday – Sunday, October 27 – 30, 2016. SREB expects to exceed 1,100 in attendance.

• This is the last year of the grant from NSF that will provide funds to support AGEP/STEM scholar’s attendance to the Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring.  Scholars nominated to attend the Institute must be individuals who have an expressed interest in teaching at the post-secondary level. All of the sessions at the Institute will focus on topics and issues related to teaching and mentoring at the postsecondary level. Consequently, scholars who are not interested in teaching at the postsecondary level would not benefit from attending this Institute.

• Per SREB’s instructions: “Nominated scholars must be minority or underserved STEM majors enrolled in a Ph.D. program. SREB will not accept nominations from students.”

• SREB will pay for the following:
  • Lodging in a double room (2 persons per room) for 3 nights @ $92.50 per night including tax – $277.50 per scholar.
  • All conference meals (Thursday evening to Sunday morning excluding dinner on Thursday and Saturday evening) -$240 per scholar
  • Registration fee (includes all conference materials) – $350 per scholar.
  • The total cost that we will pay for each scholar is $867.50
  • AGEP campuses are asked to pay for the flights. The total package to attend will be approximately $1100 per person.

• Single rooms will not be available for scholars. Please do not to ask for single rooms. If you are chosen, you must select a roommate. You will be placed in double rooms. If you are chosen, you should indicate the name of the person that you would like to room with while at the Institute when you receive your registration code. If you do not select a roommate, we will assign them a roommate. If you are not willing to share a room, you will not be nominated.

• Given the limitation of funds, SREB  will not be able to pay for graduates as they have done in the past. If scholar attended the Institute in 2015 or 2014 and wants to attend to participate in the Friday Awards Ceremony, they will have to pay the cost of attendance.

• Faculty/Staff: The Institute will schedule some sessions that are specifically designed for faculty/staff. If faculty or staff would like to attend the Institute, place their names on the spreadsheet. They will be issued the appropriate ID so they can register online for the Institute. An invoice can be sent after the Institute. SREB will not pay for faculty or staff.

• We will be nominating graduate students who participate in the PROMISE: AGEP-T. This means that you must be a graduate student at one of the institutions within the University System of Maryland. If you are interested, you must show evidence of participation in a PROMISE AGEP event prior to September 12, 2016 .
