GEM Student Workshop, Sunday, June 15, 2014

Information about Requesting Student Support to GEM 2014 Summer Workshop

Since there is a high demand for graduate student financial assistance, we must prioritize student support based on criteria developed by the steering committee. A high priority will be given to the following groups: graduate students engaged in their thesis or dissertation research, first time attendees and students from small institutions, and students having specific GEM-related duties.

We urge those of you that qualify and are planning to attend the 2014 GEM Workshop to act quickly and send an email application to Xia Cai at (xcai@vt.edu) requesting support that includes the following information:

  • Name:
  • Gender:
  • Email:
  • Advisor's name and email:
  • School:
  • Graduate or undergraduate student:
  • Year in school:
  • Previous GEM support received (list number of years):
  • New! Are you signed up to be a volunteer (taking pictures, recording tutorials, light control during plenary sessions…) (yes/no)?
  • New! Tentative title and abstract for your oral/poster presentation
  • New! Write a brief statement of purpose (500 words) about why you should come to GEM. The statement should include what your research

goals are, how GEM could help pursuing those goals and how you can contribute to GEM.

New! For students who receive support to attend GEM, we will now require that you submit a follow-up report (500 words) within 2 weeks after the workshop is finished. In the report, please briefly summarize what you have learned or accomplished at GEM. Failing to do so could lower your priority in the next year.

Every student applying for assistance must have his or her advisor send a one or two paragraph email to Xia Cai at (xcai@vt.edu) including the following information: • Is the student ready for GEM? For GEM, we believe, it is most appropriate for students engaged in research. If the student is an undergraduate, please justify why he/she should be considered. • Is there a specific benefit for the student that you can identify? • If you have several students applying for support, please submit one email containing your assessment for all of the students. Please also prioritize the students to receive GEM support.

Deadline for student applications and advisor recommendations is Friday, March 14, 2014. Applications or advisor recommendations received after this date will be waitlisted.

Once you have been granted support, the website for registration will be sent to you. The student registration fee for GEM is $150.00, whether attending with or without GEM support.

Call for Speakers – GEM Student Tutorials

The GEM student representatives are currently accepting submissions for the 2014 student day tutorials. The meeting will be held on June 15, 2014 in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Tutorials must focus on the listed topics at an introductory level. The list of tutorial topics is provided below. If you will be attending the meeting and would like to present a tutorial, please submit your name, student status (year, anticipated degree, institution and advisor) and the title of the talk that you would like to give. Please include a second choice tutorial topic if you have one. Submissions should be sent to: Roxanne Katus <rkatus@umich.edu> and Ian Cohen <ian.cohen@unh.edu>.

Tutorial requests must be received by Friday March 10, 2014. Speakers will be chosen based on qualifications and demographics. Acceptance notifications will be sent by March 17, 2014.

Call for Applications for GEM Student Representative

Call for Applications for GEM Student Representative Application deadline: June 1, 2014

GEM graduate students are invited to apply for the position of student representative for the 2014-2016 term. There are always two GEM student representatives with overlapping terms.

Interested students should have previously attended at least one GEM summer workshop, be graduate students actively researching in a GEM field, and have at approximately two years left before finishing their degree. The GEM student representatives are responsible for organizing the student tutorial day at the GEM summer workshop, representing students at the GEM steering committee meetings, and coordinating/facilitating other professional and social activities for the GEM student community.

To apply, please submit your name, student status (year/anticipated degree/institution/advisor) and one or two paragraphs describing your vision and qualifications for serving as the GEM student representative. This information will be distributed at the GEM 2014 student tutorial day on June 15, 2014. The new representative will be selected by vote during the GEM 2014 Summer Workshop.

Please submit all applications to Roxanne Katus <rkatus@umich.edu> and Ian Cohen <ian.cohen@unh.edu> by June 1, 2014.
