NSF Chemistry Careers Workshop at Drexel U.

Workshop on Careers in Chemistry planned for October 16, 2010(10 am - 3 pm) at Drexel U., event for undergrads and high school students, funded by NSF CAREER. Email Dr. Liz Papish (ep322@drexel.edu) if you are a college or high school student and you want more info or plan to attend, workshop participation and lunch provided free of charge. RSVP by October 8th, 2010 to dixon092184@hotmail.com, please include the subject line "NSF Chem Careers Workshop" on your email, indicate your name, college or HS and year (freshman, etc). Workshop is limited to 100 participants, so RSVP early.

Workshop will feature a panel presentation featuring different chemistry careers, including representatives from research universities and liberal arts colleges (schools with differing teaching/research emphasis), chemical industry and non-traditional chemistry careers (patent law, forensics, etc.). The panel members will also be at various stages of their careers, from graduate students and postdocs to newly hired and experienced professionals. The panel presentation will be followed by lunch and small round table discussions, so the students will have ample time to ask questions. We hope to give students a glimpse of the wide variety of chemistry careers, including what the various careers are like on a day to day basis and what education and training decisions allow students that like chemistry and science to enter these careers.

Internship program in Radiation Oncology at UPenn - SUPERS@PENN

I am writing this letter in my role as director of a summer undergraduate internship program in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine. The program, SUPERS@PENN, is designed for highly motivated undergraduates who are considering careers in academic medicine and specifically in biomedical research. This program is funded through an R25 award from the NCI and NIH. The aim of the program is to introduce bright and highly motivated students to diverse fields that study the effects of radiation in the treatment of cancer and in other biological systems. A second goal of the program, which is every bit as important, is to achieve diversity in the classes we recruit (with regard to race, ethnicity, sex and geography).

The program is designed to run for two consecutive summers, therefore we give preference to rising juniors in our first year class, who then have the option of returning as rising seniors for a second summer of training in our laboratories. More information about SUPERS@PENN can be viewed on our website www.med.upenn.edu/supers. Recently we completed the first summer of the program. 10 students from 9 different institutions scattered about the country participated. To underscore the types of individuals we are looking for: These 10 students came from biology, chemistry, biochemistry and bioengineering backgrounds. The mean GPA of this highly competitive group was 3.77 (with a high of 4.0 and a low of 3.42). More importantly their individual statements and letters of recommendation indicated their particular interest in pursuing a research career trajectory.

We would love to include Villanova in future mailings pertaining to the 2011 SUPERS@PENN program (the first of these will be sent out sometime in September). Please feel free to forward this e-mail the appropriate individual or individuals who are best suited to direct the appropriate students into the SUPERS@PENN program. Or you can send me their names directly to me, at this e-mail address.

Thank You, best and warmest regards,
Steve Tuttle
