Shades Events
|
Dr. Frederick L. Moore, author of Finding Your North: Self-help Strategies for Science-related Careers, recently spoke at ASU on issues confronting students considering science-related careers. He identified the balance between the competitive worlds of science and academia and social responsibility in the field of study and the profession. Dr. Moore also focused on educational goals and how undergraduate and graduate students may adjust their current learning skills to master traditional careers in mathematics, science, technology and engineering. Read more on Dr. Moore, his advice to STEM students, and articles on finding a fulfilling science-related career. |

Highlights from the Shades Reception
September 11, 2007
 |
Shades members gathered for a luncheon and reception on September 11 to find more information about the program and to informally meet potential mentors and mentees. Undergraduate and graduate students attended from anthropology, computer science, physics, microbiology, biochemistry and other programs. |

"This is a good way to network," said one student. "There's always a lack of time to find what you need. It's such a huge school, and you need to find pockets of people and resources that can help."
A few of the questions and topics proposed for future meetings include the need for a graduate degree in the sciences, how to best approach informal mentoring, how to better communicate with advisors, and the best ways to become better resources for each other in a large university.
The ASU Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program from the School of Life Sciences (SOLS) is a sponsor and resource to science students. MARC seeks to increase the number of well-trained students from underrepresented groups who enter research careers in biomedicine. Biomedical research is broadly defined to include biology, microbiology, physiology and kinesiology, biochemistry, neuropsychology, immunology, genetics and molecular biology, behavior, mathematics, anthropology, chemistry, bioengineering and biophysics.
