Summer
Enrichment Program (SEP)
The University of Detroit Mercy
School of Dentistry Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) aims to assist
students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds with gaining
admission to dental school, and encourages participants to become practicing
dentists in medically underserved areas. Because the dental admission test
(DAT) and lengthy application process can be considered an obstacle in applying
to dental school, SEP was developed to make the participants more competitive
and qualified applicants. SEP is a facilitated entry program that provides
educational and professional development experiences to assist the participants
with matriculating into and graduating from dental school, and to provide them
with resources and support for succeeding in their future careers in
Dentistry.
SEP is a 9-week (4
weeks self-pace and 5 week in-person) structured program that offers free
housing and DAT Preparation, and a stipend to cover sustenance and travel
expenses. Various educational and professional development experiences will be
afforded to participants, including financial aid information, admissions
counseling, dental school application assistance, academic success and
professional development sessions, and cultural competency training. The
participants will also be exposed to clinical experiences and other aspects of
dental education including simulation lab activities, dental specialty panels,
and primary care exposure. In order to foster a welcoming environment, provide
mentoring opportunities, and expose them to the city of Detroit, SEP will also
coordinate several social events for participants including trips to museums
and sporting events, tours of the surrounding area, and networking luncheons
and dinners with UDMSD students, staff, faculty, and alumni, along with local
dentists in the community.
The
Application deadline is February 15, 2022. Acceptance decisions will be emailed
to applications by the end of March 2022. For questions about the SEP program
or the application process, please email to dental_diversity@udmercy.edu.

This fall, Humanities Pathways will be hosting three Alumni Connections panels on Zoom for Emory students. These virtual panels are an excellent opportunity for students of all academic backgrounds to hear from Emory alumni about the ways in which their studies in the humanities have given them an edge in careers in business, tech, law, medicine, public health, nonprofits, and more. We hope to show through these candid conversations that students in the humanities can prepare for their futures with confidence, knowing that the curiosity, creativity, and flexibility cultivated through humanities courses and experiences will help them succeed, no matter what pathway they pursue after graduation.
These 90-minute Zoom conversations are open to all Emory and
Oxford students, faculty, staff, and alumni. I’ve attached here an event flyer
(both as a PDF and PNG) with a link and QR code to register. Individuals can
learn more about our Humanities Pathways initiative here.
If you are looking for a
service opportunity for your organization, consider a possible collaboration
with Gift of Life. Gift of Life is a marrow and stem cell registry that aims to
add as many people as possible to the registry so that more blood cancer
patients can find their life-saving transplant matches. You can invite a Gift of Life Campus Ambassador to present
about Gift of Life and add interested members to the registry via a simple
cheek swab. You can also collaborate on a bigger event with the ambassador.
This is a wonderful opportunity for any organization on campus. If you’re interested
in collaborating or have any questions, please reach out to Shirel Levy (shlevy@emory.edu).

English Pre-Requisites
Medical schools and other professional healthcare programs
often require 2 semesters of English. At Emory, a lot of students try NOT to
take another English class after completion of their first-year writing
(through AP or otherwise) and instead try to use Continued Writing (CWRT) classes (required for Emory graduation) to bypass this.
When using CWRT, the following “categories” do NOT typically count as
both CWRT and Eng pre-reqs: foreign languages, labs, science classes, methods
classes, and honors thesis credits.
CWRTs at Emory that Don’t Count as an alternative for ENG
Pre-Req:
·
Any Foreign Language prefix: Arabic, Chinese,
French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin,
Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tibetan, Yiddish
·
Any Science Lab. Examples include, but are not
limited to:
o
Bio/ENVS247LW
o
ENVS442W
o
Bio370LW
o
Chem371LW
o
Phys444W
·
Technical or Methodological Writing Classes.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
o
Soc355W or 457W
o
Psyc200W
o
QTM302W
·
Any Honors Thesis Credit: 495BW (or any other
course number used by the various departments)
The list above is not an exhaustive list – you should
consult with your PHA advisor if you have questions or if you think a class
might meet a category here but isn’t explicitly listed. You as the applicant
are responsible for verifying accepted courses with admissions offices at
medical schools and other healthcare professional programs.
The safest option for any student to maximize their options
in applying to medical school / healthcare programs is to take an additional
English prefix-based course, such as one that starts with Eng, CPLT, or ENGCW.

Hi Everyone! My name is Trey Quinn, and I am a 4th year Computer Science student simultaneously pursuing my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Georgia Tech. I also just happen to have Cerebral Palsy, a physical disability that impacts my speech, fine motor, and mobility. I employ a staff of rotating caregiving assistants to help me with everyday tasks. I am currently looking for some one to work for me on Friday nights (6 PM till 12 AM) as well as Saturdays (flexible/splittable hours between staff members).
My current staff members often describe this job as getting paid
to hang out with a good friend. Minimum job requirements would include feeding
me, prepping meals, assisting with personal hygiene (brushing teeth, bathing,
tolieting, etc), light housework around my on-campus apartment
(vacuuming/sweeping as needed, taking out the trash as needed, occasionally
doing laundry, etc), helping people understand my speech in social situations
(parties, hanging out with friends, job interviews, etc) and running occasional
errands. Bonus points if you have a car that can transport my fold-up walker,
have enough knowledge of college-level STEM materials to occasionally write out
my verbal solutions to my homework assignments, and/or have a sense of humor
that is as dark and twisted as mine. Pay is $15 an hour tax-free. I don’t
negotiate pay, so don’t try. This job is especially ideal for college students
or young alumni interested in pursuing careers related to healthcare, biomedical
engineering, special education, or disability law/advocacy.
Contact me at rquinn33@gatech.edu if interested in interviewing.
We are excited to announce the beginning of this fall’s pre-doc hiring cycle
at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, and to provide information on how
these pre-doctoral positions can help your students. Pre-docs (sometimes
called Research Professionals or full-time RAs) are two-year appointments
working directly for faculty on their research in the quantitative social
sciences (QSS). Students who are interested in graduate study in QSS
fields but do not yet feel ready for a PhD program, or who are uncertain
whether they want to pursue a PhD, find these positions to be especially
useful. Students with rigorous quantitative backgrounds outside of the
social sciences (e.g., physics, engineering) have used the pre-doctoral path to
transition into QSS programs. Through their work for faculty, pre-docs
expand their research toolkit, learn more about the research process, and pick
up important credentialing through faculty letters of reference. These
are competitively paid positions with full benefits.
If you know of students at any stage in their undergraduate
career who might be interested in a research career, please encourage them to visit
our website to learn more. Students can sign
up to hear about new job opportunities when they are ready to apply (e.g.,
a freshman could sign up to hear about new postings in three years). The PREDOC
Consortium also provides a wealth of programming
and information sessions, as well as guides
to the pre-doc application process. PREDOC’s offerings are growing rapidly,
so students should check back frequently.
Staff at Booth and PREDOC are more than happy to answer any questions you have about pre-doctoral opportunities. Please reach out to ResearchProfessional@lists.chicagobooth.edu or info@predoc.org with any questions or to arrange a meeting
