Mellon Mays Fellowship
Calling all sophomore and junior Physics majors with a commitment to diversity: consider applying for the Mellon Mays Fellowship. The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is one of the Foundation’s premier programs and the centerpiece of the Foundation’s long-term effort to help remedy the serious shortage of faculty of color in higher education. MMUF aims to create a legacy of qualified and gifted scholars who will provide opportunities for all students to experience and learn from the perspectives of diverse faculty members.

U of Mn Engineering presentation
Opportunities at the University of Minnesota: Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering
Special Presentation 9:30 am, February 13, 2014 Olin Hall, Room 04
Joseph F. Labuz, MSES/Kersten Professor & Head Department of Civil Engineering University of MinnesotaThe University of Minnesota (UMN) offers great opportunities for students interested in civil, environmental, or geo- engineering to earn degrees in these programs, two of which are unique in the State of Minnesota (BEnvE and BGeoE). Under the guidance of a world-class teaching and research faculty, students in our department focus on creating knowledge and skills that best serve the infrastructure needs of our society, a mission we refer to as “engineering for the benefit of society.”
We invite high quality students to enroll in our undergraduate or graduate programs, and to participate in the innovative teaching, internships, and research experiences in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering (name change effective July 1, 2014). Students will have opportunities to work on a range of important problems from renewable energy such as wind and biofuels to environmental restoration of lakes and streams, from transportation networks to seismic imaging.
Curriculum of the three programs will be explained, and specific examples of current projects will be outlined. The presentation will conclude with a brief discussion on “listening to rock.”
Refreshments will be served. -
