My name is Debbie Murray and I am the Program Coordinator for the NASA Langley Aerospace Research Student Scholars (LARSS) Program. I would like to ask if you would please share our program information with your members, faculty, and students. The deadline is quickly approaching, Feb. 1, 2012. The Langley Aerospace Research Student Scholars (LARSS) Program <http://www.nianet.org/larss> is a paid, unique, highly competitive, year round (3 sessions -- fall, spring, and summer) research internship program for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). For 25 years, the LARSS program and the NASA Langley Research Center have helped preserve U.S. leadership in engineering and science by providing exceptional students the opportunity to work with Langley researchers on some of the Nation’s most important, difficult, and challenging problems that require multi-disciplinary and collaborative solutions. LARSS is also a nationally ranked internship program. In 2011, the staff of Vault-Career Intelligence reviewed over 800 national internships and named LARSS one of its top 10 best internship programs. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship; full-time student status at an accredited U.S. college or university; classification as a rising undergraduate junior or senior, or graduate student (master’s or doctoral level) by the start of the summer session; and a cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. The 10-week summer session begins on Monday, June 4, and ends Friday, August 10, 2012. Students participate in a variety of tours, lectures, and social events designed to achieve the “outcomes” established for the LARSS program. The summer session culminates with students presenting the results of their research in a variety of forums to various audiences. I do appreciate your assistance in sharing this information. If you happen to get other messages, I apologize, but we are pulling from multiple sources to share this program. Questions, please contact Sarah.E.Pauls@nasa.gov or me. Regards, Debbie Murray LARSS Program Coordinator |
About PROMISE: Maryland's AGEPABOUT AGEPThe National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program is intended to increase significantly the number of domestic students receiving doctoral degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with special emphasis on those population groups underrepresented in these fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). In addition, AGEP is particularly interested in increasing the number of minorities who will enter the professoriate in these disciplines. Specific objectives of the AGEP program are (1) to develop and implement innovative models for recruiting, mentoring, and retaining minority students in STEM doctoral programs, and (2) to develop effective strategies for identifying and supporting underrepresented minorities who want to pursue academic careers. ABOUT PROMISE: Maryland's AGEPPROMISE: Maryland's AGEP is an alliance of the three public research universities in Maryland, led by UMBC, dedicated to the increasing the number and diversity of Ph.D. graduates in the sciences and engineering who go on to academic careers. AGEP is a program of the National Science Foundation. |
