The mission of the GSIF promotes students within the Scholars Academy to prospective graduate schools and internships. GSIF expects to host up to 60 exhibitors representing over 40 different graduate schools and academic/industry internship programs from within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Additionally, GSIF highlights undergraduate research projects conducted by UHD students in STEM. Invited College of Sciences and Technology students who have participated in summer research will present research posters. Qualifying activities are projects completed as part of internships, independent/directed study at UHD, or any undergraduate research on or off campus.
GSIF is sponsored by UHD's Scholars Academy and is funded by The Brown Foundation, Inc., the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education as well as the University.
All faculty and students for the College of Sciences and Technology are invited. For more information, please contact the Executive Director, Mary Jo Parker.
