This repository is developed by Jacob Green and Meagan Pepper-Estes to organize and support URI MARC students over the Fall semester of 2021. We will be scheduling meetings, planning sessions, and other resources through this directory. If you have any questions please reach out to us at mspepper@uri.edu or gree9242@uri.edu.
These meetings are meant to provide a platform for MARC trainees to discuss their ideas, triumphs, and concerns over their summer research program while also providing opportunities to develop materials and the scholarly identity needed to succeed in academia and applying to graduate school. Meetings will last approximately 1 hour. The typical meeting will be outlined as follows:
- Check-in (10 mins)
- Warm-up (10 mins)
- Meeting activity (20 mins)
- Wrap-up (10 mins)
- Optional group or individual discussion
Check-ins will give trainees the opportunity to update coordinators about what is going on in their programs and how they are doing. It will also allow coordinators to communicate
Warm-up's are meant to help students organize, prioritize, and record their ideas.
Meeting activities will vary depending on the goals of the session and what trainees would like to accomplish. Professional development will be focused on preparing for graduate school applications, summer research experience applications, identifying funding opportunities, writing research abstracts, communicating research, and CV/academic resume building.
Wrap-up's will be a closing opportunity that will help trainees summarize what work was accomplished in the meeting session and to clarify any support they need moving forward.
Optional group or individual disucssion is an open period of time that is entirely optional. It is meant to give space for critical direct support for trainees in their endeavors.
