Good morning! I am reaching out to you on behalf of the SCIENTISTA INTERCOLLEGIATE SYMPOSIUM planning committee. The Scientista Foundation is a national nonprofit organization committed to empowering pre-professional women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math/medicine (STEM). We do so by providing inspirational content, communities, and conferences for women in STEM.
We would like to invite any interested students (undergrad and grad) to attend and/or participate in our third annual intercollegiate Scientista Symposium<http://wisewordsmagazine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7151035624221fc7…> which will be hosted by Microsoft and will take place April 8-9, 2017 in New York City! The conference is a great career-building opportunity that allows students to share original research across ALL scientific disciplines. There will be speakers, panelists, and workshops. Discounted early bird tickets are available now!
Postdocs, research associates, and professors are encouraged to participate as well - we are looking for judges for the poster fair. Could you please pass this email along to anyone who might be interested?
We hope to work with you to empower women in STEM! Additional information is provided below and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
Best wishes,
The Scientista Symposium Planning Committee
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The Scientista Symposium is a three-day conference that aims to empower pre-professional women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by introducing them to inspirational role models and by providing them with opportunities to hone valuable skills. The Symposium will bring together approximately 300 undergraduate and graduate women from across the country.
Our programming, themed "Scientistas Stand Up! Becoming a Leader in STEM" will cover a range of topics from research to business to social good. It will include inspirational talks and panels, a poster fair, and ample opportunities for students and professionals to network.
Register here<http://wisewordsmagazine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7151035624221fc7…>!
*If you are looking for funding, students have obtained travel grants from their university departments and student activities offices, so those would be great resources to keep in mind.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
What makes the Scientista Symposium truly unique is our platform for women in STEM to present their original research to a national audience of peers and judges. The process of presenting one's work on a national forum is an invaluable opportunity that can help instill confidence in young women. We are encouraging students currently involved in research to submit an abstract for the "Poster Fair" portion of the symposium. We would greatly appreciate if you could pass this message to any students you think applicable, particularly college seniors who are writing theses.
Students may submit their abstracts here<http://wisewordsmagazine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7151035624221fc7…>
BECOME A JUDGE
We are looking for postdocs, research associates, professors, and any other experts to judge the poster fair! You may sign up through this link<http://wisewordsmagazine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7151035624221fc7…>.

Student Eligibility
* You must be a full time student enrolled in an accredited degree program at a college or university at the time of the conference (October 2017). Those graduating prior to the conference are not eligible unless accepted to another related degree program (such as a M.S. or Ph.D. program).
* Show satisfactory progress toward a degree such as, but not limited to, computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline such as electrical engineering, math, or physics.
* Be able to demonstrate an interest in computer science.
* You cannot have been an ABI-GHC Scholarship recipient in 2016.
* You must be at least 18 years of age by October 1, 2017.
* You cannot accept more than one scholarship to GHC.
* If you receive a scholarship and do not notify ABI that you cannot attend prior to the conference, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes a scholarship away from another student that could have attended.
What are we looking for in a student scholar?
* Student scholars are active in their community.
* GHC will have an impact on the scholar and the message they take back to school.
