The newest addition to Meharry’s Research Week, Undergraduate Outreach Day (UGO) is an opportunity for prospective students to network with Meharry graduate students and faculty, and learn not only about our current research focuses, but also about the graduate student experience at Meharry. Undergraduate Outreach Day is a student-led event designed to encourage prospective students, especially underrepresented minorities and women, to pursue careers in health-based research careers. Undergraduate Outreach Day will be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2011 in the West Basic Sciences Building on Meharry's campus.

During UGO, students will have the opportunity to attend workshops about the different programs and career tracks in basic research and health services administration in the public and private sector; experience a graduate level lecture; receive a tour of Meharry; apply to either of Meharry’s programs (if eligible and they have the necessary paperwork); and speak one-on-one with current Meharry students and faculty.
