Equity-Minded Mentoring for Graduate Students - NEW CITL Graduate Certificate Program - Winter 2023

Equity-Minded Mentoring for Graduate Students

NEW CITL Graduate Certificate Program - Winter 2023

Five Tuesdays in Winter at 9:00 - 11:00am: January 17, January 31, February 14, February 28, and March 14

Are you a graduate student in a STEM field who is interested in developing mentorship skills to build inclusive, supportive research environments? If so, consider participating in CITL’s Equity-Minded Mentoring for Graduate Students Certificate Program. 

In this program, you and your colleagues will meet bi-weekly (5 sessions total) during Winter quarter to explore and practice strategies known from research to support underrepresented students in STEM and STEM-related environments, particularly those from racially minoritized groups, including:

• Establishing and co-creating clear expectations for the mentoring relationship;

• Communicating effectively and with attention to how different life experiences, identities, and positions of power shape participation in and experiences in STEM fields;

• Promoting students’ sense of belonging and science identities.

In between our bi-weekly meetings, you will have the opportunity to engage with brief readings and draft your own mentoring philosophy. 

Join us if you’d like to be part of a new generation of researchers committed to changing research culture through equity-minded mentoring!

Register here between November 10 and December 7 at 12:00 noon. A waitlist will automatically open up at the same registration link after 25 people have registered. We will contact registrants and waitlisters about your status soon after open registration closes on December 7.

Master's Funding Opportunity!

The University of Pennsylvania in partnership with 9 other institutions make up the Center for Engineering MechanoBiology <https://cemb.upenn.edu/> (CEMB). This interdisciplinary, visionary center is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance the study of mechanical forces in molecules, cells, and tissues. We have launched a new fellowship program for STEM Master’s students who have a strong interest in conducting research and pursuing a PhD upon graduation. The goal of this fellowship program is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing graduate degrees in STEM-related fields, and establish long-lasting collaborations with faculty at Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) institutions.

Accepted fellows will conduct a collaborative thesis project with faculty
from their home institution and the CEMB. The summer following their first
year in a master's program, fellows will conduct research in the CEMB
collaborator’s lab. They will return to their home institution for the
second year of their master’s program. The program will offer monthly
mentoring and networking opportunities to prepare fellows for research,
grad school applications, and the PhD path. This is a co-mentorship
program, and will not remove the student from their home institution.

This is a great funding opportunity to support a master’s student in your
lab: fellows will receive a 1-year stipend of approximately $31,600 and
$10,000 in funds to support research at their home institution and travel
to collaborating labs and conferences.

Please share this opportunity with your colleagues and eligible students. I
have included the eligibility criteria below, and more information is
available in the attached document and on our website
<https://cemb.upenn.edu/programs/masters-research-fellowship/>.

*Eligibility Criteria*

Students that meet the following criteria are encourage to apply:

·         Be currently enrolled or intend to enroll starting spring or fall
2023 in a full-time research-based master’s degree program.

·         Have a GPA of 3.2 or higher

·         Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident

·         Be a member of a group that is historically underrepresented in
STEM graduate education (African Americans, Native American including
Native Alaskans, Hispanics and Native Pacific Islanders)

·         Have a strong desire to enroll in a PhD program after their
Master’s degree.
