"Mini" Graduate Horizons: Student Orientation Program

Justine Johnson (Meyerhoff Graduate Fellows) and Tawny McManus (PROMISE Coordinator) and the Graduate School have organized a "Mini" Summer Horizons for graduate students. See website here.


Due to financial constraints, the large-scale Summer Horizons campus visitation program cannot be held this year. However, the "mini" version of Summer Horizons will serve visiting undergraduate students who are conducting research at UMBC for the summer. In addition, prospective graduate students (who are not part of any current summer programs on campus) who would like to visit various departments can be invited to participate in this event. This activity helps to recruit students and to provide them with information, motivation, and a community of other undergrads who are making plans for future graduate study.

Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Time: 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Meyerhoff Chemistry Building, Room 120 (Seminar Room)

Agenda Items:
* 9:30 AM -- The Graduate School Admissions Process (Renetta)
* 10:30 AM -- The Road to Graduate School (Graduate Student Panel) *
11:30 AM -- Motivational Talk (President Hrabowski)
[Dr. Hrabowski's talk: 1 hour. Includes overview of UMBC, UMBC's mission and vision, his path to graduate school, reasons to get a Ph.D., and general tips for success.]

This year, tours are optional, however UMBC's Summer Research Program Coordinators may be making arrangements for their students. The mini Horizons program will not serve food, so students themselves, departments, or summer programs will need to make plan for meals.
