This 2 day workshop will seek to provide mentorship to aspiring underrepresented minority students with ambitions to become independent academic researchers in the areas of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering as it relates to Polymer Science, Materials Science, and Supramolecular Science. The workshop will be held in Massachusetts outside of Boston at MIT’s Endicott House (www.mitendicotthouse.org) from the evening of Sunday June 19 to Tuesday evening June 21, 2011. Eminent professors from around the country will be in attendance to provide mentoring and the goal is to maintain a student/faculty ratio that is less than four. This is the 4th workshop in this series and the previous workshops were held at MIT (2008), Carnegie Mellon University (2009), and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (2010). |
