ABRCMS is \u201cone of the largest communities of underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.\u201d Students attend this conference, said Dr. Tracy Bell, an assistant professor in UMES\u2019 Department of Natural Science, to present their research, enhance professional development skills, explore graduate schools, and network. Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate student presentations are judged and those receiving the highest scores in each scientific discipline are given an award during the closing banquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UMES\u2019 delegation joined over 5,100 attendees consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, judges and university faculty. Students had the opportunity to select from a multitude of diverse informational sessions ranging from \u201cIs a M.D.\/Ph.D. right for me?\u201d to \u201cDealing with Harassment in the Work Place.\u201d In addition to the sessions, Bell said, graduate and professional schools from across the United States and its territories were present to give information about current programs and opportunities as well as assistant fee waiver for potential applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was never a dull moment under the Californian sun,\u201d said Bell.  \u201cAll UMES student presenters did a phenomenal job and gained both valuable experience and interdisciplinary connections. UMES\u2019 Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation program can\u2019t wait to see what research students will present next year in San Antonio, Texas at ABRCMS 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
