On May 14th at 6:00 p.m., a Science Celebration Night will be held at the Health, Nursing and Science Center at Umpqua Community College. The event is free and will include dinner, providing attendees with information about a new scholarship program supporting industrial science careers.
The “Oregon Pathways to Industrial Research Careers” program is a collaboration between UCC and the University of Oregon, backed by the National Science Foundation. The celebration will highlight the experiences of new scholars and current participants who are transitioning to the university level. Students from different stages of the pathway will also share their experiences.
High school and college students interested in engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, or computer science, along with their families, are encouraged to attend the event. Interested individuals can sign up to attend before May 1st by visiting https://umpqua.edu/ucc/opirc/ or calling 440-7736.
