News & Events
SACNAS and ABRCMS Meetings
EXPAND was thrilled to attend the SACNAS and ABRCMS national meetings. We loved meeting with prospective applicants and discussing the numerous ways UVA and EXPAND can provide career and professional development opportunities for our STEM graduate students.
NRT Annual Meeting
EXPAND leadership had the opportunity to attend the Annual NRT Annual Meeting. We were able to meet with other NSF-funded Research Traineeship programs from across the country to discuss strategies to negotiate institutional barriers, recruit and retain a diverse cohort of trainees, sustain the program beyond NSF NRT funding, and measure/evaluate the impact of our programming. We plan to use this information to enhance our program offerings for life sciences graduate students here at UVA!
