First Gen Student Week runs from November 4 to 8. The First Generation Student Association (FGSA) is excited to help kick off several special initiatives that highlight and celebrate our incredible first-generation community.

Unlock your potential with summer research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine! Dive into hands-on research, collaborate with top-tier medical professionals, and boost your career in STEM.

This opportunity is open to all students.

Join the UnLocked Project for a special guest talk by Dr. Amy Morgan. Dr. Morgan is an assistant professor of couple and family therapy in the UMD Department of Family Science. Her research focuses on the health and resilience of families impacted by incarceration and after, as formerly incarcerated family members navigate reentry. Dr. Morgan also researches family relationships broadly, with expertise in separation, reunification, and fathering.

Our Fall 2024 Citation Ceremony will take place on Friday, November 15 at the UMD Memorial Chapel from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.

The Office of Undergraduate Research will hold a Zoom information session for undergraduate students regarding summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Run by universities, colleges, and research organizations throughout the United States, NSF REU programs provide paid summer research opportunities to undergraduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical fields (including social, behavioral, and economic science fields). The information session will provide an overview of these programs and information on how to locate and apply to programs running in summer 2025. It will also feature a panel of UMD students who have participated in NSF REUs in the past.
