CUTTING EDGE SCIENCE: in over 30 programs in the sciences, math, engineering, and social & behavioral sciences. Students with interests in the biomedical sciences have a choice of over 200 labs at Rutgers and the neighboring Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Cancer Institute of New Jersey. In addition, we offer exciting interdisciplinary opportunities through our National Science Foundation IGERTs, http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/IGERT.shtmland REU partnerships -- renewable and sustainable fuels (biofuels and synfuels), materials/nanotechnology for clean energy, stem cells and cellular bioengineering, and pharmaceutical engineering.

*PERSONALIZED MENTOR-MATCHING

** OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT including rigorous training in scientific speaking & writing, GRE prep, career exploration, and networking with industrial scientists

** EXCELLENT FUNDING: Stipend + on-campus housing + travel allowance. (If the student earns a summer MARC salary, we can supplement from non-federal sources).

** ALUMNI SUCCESS: awards for presentations at national meetings such as ABRCMS & placement at top graduate schools

** GREAT LOCATION with professional & recreational advantages.

** FUN AND FRIENDSHIPS – vibrant multi-cultural community and social program.

** EASY ON-LINE APPLICATION: Rolling admissions starts at the end January and is highly selective. Apply now at http://rise.rutgers.edu!

We have hosted MARC students every summer and hope some of your students will join that cohort as part of RiSE 2012. Questions? rise@rci.rutgers.edu or 732.932.7275.

If any of your seniors are still in the process of finalizing graduate school plans, I would be happy to speak with them directly about appropriate programs at Rutgers. We also offer an APPLICATION FEE WAIVER to any student who attended ABRCMS.
