The Science Engineering & Health Professions Collaborative Symposium is open to all UConn students and our Alliance school students
(Northeastern University, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, University
of Rhode Island, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute), and there is no cost
to participate. However we will place a special emphasis on the unique needs
of African American, Latino/a, and Native American students studying in the
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and health
profession areas.
The objective of the symposium is to engage students in a purposeful endeavor to enhance achievement in Science Engineering and Health Professions through involvement in co-curricular academic enrichment activities. Students will explore a range of involvement options including research experiences, internships and co-op opportunities, graduate and medical school enrichment programs, academic student organizations, and a host of other experiences designed to spur academic growth and professional development.
The inaugural Science Engineering & Health Professions Collaborative Symposium held last year was a tremendous success drawing over 200 students and 40 exhibitors for the event. Following are some of the positive comments received from last year's participants:
"This was a long awaited event and should continue every year. Thanks for the opportunities and doors it might have opened."
"It was fun, I learned a lot of new things about resumes and selling myself to companies, I would do it again if given the opportunity."
"The symposium was a huge success in my eyes. Hope it takes place in future years."
"I loved the seminars and the variety of organizations that were there. It definitely showed that I have many options with my major, which I didn’t think I had."
"I wish I had done this my freshman and sophomore years here." |
