Summer Institute - GREAT Opportunity for Summer Travel

Posted: 09/09/2008
A message from Royace Aiken, Science Education Specialist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory:

There are great professional development and educational opportunities available at US Department of Energy Laboratories for students attending community colleges and junior colleges. The Community College Institute (CCI) in Science and Engineering provides 10-week summer research experiences for students at two-year academic institutions. These students do not have to compete against students at four-year colleges and universities for summer research appointments at DOE laboratories.

Students can receive stipends ($400/week for 10 weeks), $1,000 housing allowances, and travel allowances ($500).

These opportunities have potential benefits for both the academic institutions and the DOE National Laboratories. For every NSF-funded student we place in a summer research position at our Laboratories, we can provide funding for another student from a campus that does not have a NSF grant on their campus.

Please access important information through this web site:

http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/CCI/about.html

I manage the CCI program and am particularly interested in hosting one of more students from your campus this summer. I would like for you to select a student or students from your campus to apply for the CCI program at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA. We usually host about 25 community college students from institutions across the United States each summer in our research programs. If you do select a student or students for the CCI program, please contact me regarding the student's application, so I can make specific efforts to market the application.

The attached document contains a flyer advertising the CCI program. Please click for CCI Flyer

We are looking forward to hosting another great student from Genesee CC in our CCI program!

Upcoming: Transfer Fair, Symposium, Hackerfest info

Posted: 09/09/2008
Hi everyone!

Remember that the SUNY Transfer Fair will be held tomorrow, Sept 10th from 9:30-12:30 in the forum. Bring your activity sheet and get it signed by at least three representatives from other colleges to get credit for this activity. If you don't have an activity sheet, you can print one out from the top.genesee.edu website (under "Documents"). Put the completed activity sheet in my mailbox immediately so you don't misplace it!!!

Also, the Humphrey Symposium is being held on the 11th from 4-7pm and includes a meal at the end. A very worthwhile event, and worth attending.

Finally, a student pointed out that Hackerfest in Rochester is an invitation-only event this year. I sent an email to a representative and hope to hear back soon. Please, if you are interested in attending, please send me an email ASAP so I can register you when I get the word. Remember, we'll pay for your travel to and from Rochester (about 50 cents per mile).

Stay tuned for more updates...

Ken
