The Endocrine Society is still accepting applications for the Summer
Research Opportunity (SRO) Program for Minority Students. The SRO program
is a collaborative effort between the Federation of American Societies¼br /> for Experimental Biology Minority Research to Access Careers (FASEB MARC)
program and the Society’s Minority Affairs Committee (MAC). The SRO
program aims to encourage promising young scientists to pursue careers in
endocrinology by offering students the opportunity to spend eight weeks
during the summer participating in research projects in the labs of
Endocrine Society members.
The SRO award will provide travel and subsistence support to 15 students
and, as an added benefit, offers students assistance in locating a
mentor.
NOTE: As the funding to support this program is being provided through
the FASEB MARC Program Office, it is important to note that
funds/stipends will not be provided directly to students. Travel and
subsistence reimbursements will be provided to the host institutions.

During the year, The Washington Center offers unique, participatory, short-term programs that allow college and graduate students to be actively engaged in the study of a particular topic. The learning is highly active and intense, yet lots of fun as you meet new people, visit new sites, and learn about the academic and career opportunities available in the nation’s capital.
Each seminar has its own particular format or emphasis, but most involve major speakers, site visits, tours, briefings, and small group discussions, as well as some exciting extras. Some include special events such as a reception at the National Press Club, a performance at Ford’s Theater or a visit to a Moroccan Restaurant. The Leaders in Leadership ’07 academic seminar will take place May 12-19, 2007. For more information visit their website at: http://www.twc.edu/students/seminars.shtml
