PROMISE uniquely serves the needs of graduate students across three campuses through activities that range from retreats, seminars, and conferences, to informal discussions during breakfast. The services and programs of PROMISE are open to all graduate students who are seeking or interested in obtaining the PhD, regardless of discipline. The focus of the services and programs is geared toward one of the goals of PROMISE: To increase the numbers and diversity of Maryland's graduate student population in sciences, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
PROMISE is Maryland's Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate. It is a multi-campus AGEP (pronounced "A-GEP"), an alliance of the three public research universities in Maryland:
Led by UMBC, PROMISE: Maryland's AGEP is dedicated to the increasing the number and diversity of Ph.D. graduates, particularly in the sciences and engineering who go on to academic careers.
Broadly, students can participate in PROMISE regardless of their status (full-time, part-time), ethnicity, discipline, or source of funding. Narrowly, students who are underrepresented will be strongly supported as they utilize the services and resources of PROMISE; these students can be encouraged to consider PROMISE to be one of their major mechanisms of support.
PROMISE is an AGEP, a program of the National Science Foundation.
