Are you transforming how materials are taught? Making waves in how we prepare undergraduates and graduate students? Join us at TMS 2026 and submit an abstract to 'Preparing Undergraduate and Graduate Students- and the Faculty who Prepare Them - for Materials Careers (The Judson Education Symposium)'. Abstracts due July 29, 2025. 

www.tms.org/TMS2026

Topical areas:
• Professional formation of materials engineers through curricular design.
• Materials engineering workforce needs and training.
• Assessment of student learning, experience, retention, resilience, mental health, etc.
• Supporting early-, mid- and late-career faculty in the classroom
• Partnerships to increase student pipelines
• ABET accreditation of materials engineering programs.
• Assessment and accreditation of materials graduate programs.

Proud to be organizing this with Alison Polasik, David Bahr, Donald Brenner, Timothy Chambers, Subhadra Gupta, Yanfei Gao and Susan Gentry.

  https://www.stemgraduateprograms.com/2022/10/navigating-application-process-for.html Please share this blog post with undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing funding for graduate school. Over the last 15 years, it has become harder to find funding for graduate school. A solution for students (and their research advisors) may be to apply for awards from “scholarship for service” programs. This is a blog post written about applying for Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship Program with two recipients- Camden Brady and Dr. Hunter Rogers.

As part of their graduate program, LaToya McDonald, Jiayun Shen, Davis Ferriell and Kaitlyn Conway all worked as graduate assistants on our NSF funded S-STEM grant (SPECTRA).  This summer, three of them traveled to Minneapolis, MN to present their work related to mentoring students within 2- and 4-yr engineering and science programs. In addition, we saw contributions from Spencer Davenport, UGA graduate student who interned with Dr. Kennedy, and graduate research assistants on the SPECTRA grant.  The bolded names are of the student coauthors.  Work in Progress: Facilitating a year-long research course sequence for undergraduate transfer students within an NSF S-STEM scholarship program Jiayun Shen, LaToya McDonald, Marian Kennedy Work In Progress: Initiating a graduate teaching fellow program to support transfer students into engineering and computing Marian Kennedy, William Ferriell, Spencer Davenport, Kaitlynn Conway Work-in-Pro...
