Are you an incoming/prospective graduate (Master's/Doctoral student) or a current first-year graduate student? Then consider attending this online information session on the National Science Foundation-Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF-GRFP).
Please RSVP here. Zoom Link https://bit.ly/NSF-GRFP-info
NSF-GRFP is a prestigious national award program given each year to a select group of master’s and doctoral students in science and engineering fields in recognition of their academic and professional excellence. Students who receive the NSF-GRFP benefit from a generous stipend, opportunities for international research and professional development, and the freedom to conduct their own research at any accredited U.S. institution of graduate education to which they are accepted. The University of Oregon offers competitive benefits meant to augment and support NSF Fellowships.
NSF Graduate Research Fellows who choose UO as their affiliate graduate institution will receive full tuition and mandatory fee support, and subsidized health insurance benefits under UO's graduate assistant and fellow health insurance plan during their active tenure years. UO will also reserve a portion of the annual cost of education allowance for the Fellow to use for research expenses. Must be an incoming student or in your first year of study to apply. For more information see our UO NSF page.
3:30–6:00 p.m.
Join us to celebrate the 2023-24 partnership between the University of Oregon Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) and City of Salem!
This year-long partnership helps communities solve the problems of today and lay the groundwork for a sustainable, livable future—all while helping students prepare for the workforce through applied learning. University of Oregon students and faculty studied and made recommendations in over 20 courses directed at high priority projects for City Council and the Salem community. The partnership will end with a celebration event with leaders from Salem and the UO, faculty, students, local elected officials, and community members.
A poster session of final projects from two spring courses, Topics in Bicycle Transportation and Equitable Urban Parks, will occur for the first hour of the event for the community to interact and ask questions regarding the student’s work. Formal remarks will feature speakers from both entities, including UO faculty and students highlighting each project, proposed recommendations, and outcomes. Following formal remarks, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with UO faculty and students in an open house format to learn more about how the courses will help create long-term value for the Salem community.
