GEM
has been busy during the first quarter of this year conducting
outreach to students and encouraging them to pursue a graduate
education.
Our recruiting team conducted GRAD Labs (Getting Ready for Advance
Degree Laboratory) and Informational Sessions all throughout the
country. We are making sure to visit as many universities and
underrepresented STEM conferences informing students about the
opportunities and benefits in obtaining a graduate degree.
Alumni Donations Update-
We Have Reached 30 Percent: We Need Your Help To Get To 100 Percent
 We
have raised a little over $8,000 to date but we can't meet our goal
without your help. You can make a difference in the life of a
potential GEM Fellow whom is seeking funding to obtain a graduate
degree. GEM has contributed to the academic success of over 3,000
GEM Fellows through the years and to meet the challenge of
increasing our annual fellowships awarded we are asking you to help
us. We currently give 150 fellowships annually and our goal is to
increase that number within the next five years to 400.
Thanks to alumni gifts to the GEM Fellowship Fund, students have
access to experiences they wouldn't have otherwise and ensuring that
