Envision EEB at Michigan State University is an event created to ameliorate disparities in access to graduate education in biological science for historically excluded minorities. The weekend will provide students from underrepresented backgrounds information on the graduate application process, how to apply for grants and/or fellowships to fund their graduate research. The weekend will also be a unique opportunity for prospective students to meet faculty, post-docs, and graduate students in EEB that would become their peers and potential collaborators! The event will be held at MSU and travel and boarding expenses will be covered for all prospective students invited to attend. The event dates are Friday, September 20 & Saturday, September 21, 2024 Programming includes: - Introduction to MSU's Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior program - Faculty- and student-led panels - Graduate school application workshop - Graduate school funding workshop - Presentation on navigating academia as a URM - 1-on-1 meetings with faculty members - Social gatherings with students and faculty - And more!
