Applications are now open for mentors/RAs for the 2022 Governor’s STEM Institute at WVU to occur over the summer. Application deadline is May 10th, 2022.
Mentors/RAs are responsible for supervising the middle school-age students at GSI. During the day, mentors will be paired with a faculty member to assist with classroom and research projects and after class time will be required to supervise daily and evening activities. Mentors act as chaperones on field trips and as resident assistants in the evenings.
Congratulations to the category winners and runners-up from WVU's 6th annual Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium. Thank you to all of our presenters for allowing us to return to an interactive, in-person format!
The Society for Standards Professionals established in 2017 a Scholarship Program to support students who study standards in their academic curriculum. We know that each new generation of students holds the potential for helping us achieve our mission to increase awareness and the use of standards.
Students may be interested in applying for the 2022 SES Student Scholarship. This award is for up to $1,000 for students who study standards in their undergraduate or graduate programs. Applications for the 2022 SES Student Scholarship are open through April 24th, 2022.

The Toxicology Mentoring and Skills Development Training Program (ToxMSDT), housed at the University of California Davis, is a special opportunity for underrepresented undergraduate STEM science students to participate in a year-long toxicology training and mentoring program.
Funded by the National Institute of Health, the goal of this program is to attract diverse, high achieving undergraduate students from around the United States to pursue careers in biomedical research, especially in the field of toxicology. Successful applicants will be teamed with a mentor and visit the mentor’s work site, attend the annual Society of Toxicology meeting, engage in online learning modules, and present their program successes at the annual Capstone Event. Travel cost support for programmatic activities will be provided by ToxMSDT. This program supplements the regular academic pursuits of the ToxMSDT students.
