Geography Faculty, Staff, Graduate Students, and Club Geography,
I’ll be hosting an event for incoming freshmen on Tuesday August 7 from 1:30 – 2:30 pm here at BGB to promote geography and geospatial technology, and hopefully recruit some students into our program. My plan is to have the AR Sandbox and
the SimTable set up for our visitors in one of the labs. If any of you would like to participate and highlight your research, your lab, your club outreach events, etc, please let me know so that we can coordinate for the event.
Thanks,
MC

Morgan - Thanks for reaching out. This sounds like a great opportunity to showcase how we are using augmented reality to model natural disasters.
Let me run this by my Department Chair (cc’ed) and I’ll get back to you with a specific date.

Subject: STEM "Break Out" Sessions - 2018 Intercollegiate Summer Bridge Program
Hello,
My name is Morgan Ridgell and I’m an Academic Advisor in the College of Arts & Sciences. Our Associate Director, Shanna Pendergrast, and I serve as Program Coordinators for the Intercollegiate Summer Bridge (ISB) program. In collaboration with the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and the Tickle College of Engineering, this three-week residential program provides around 30 incoming underrepresented students with opportunities to prepare for the collegiate environment and to learn what it takes to major in STEM.
The program will be held from July 20th-August 12th and we are looking to have twelve 1-hr interactive “break out” sessions for students to be able to engage with our science related departments. This initiative could potentially help in the recruitment efforts of minority students to your prospective disciplines as well as help students find their academic home at UT. It is our hope that during this 1-hr session that you could showcase your departments in a creative way such as sharing more about the types of courses offered, research interests/opportunities, what current students are doing, etc. to help participants learn more and think outside the box. We are happy to bring the students to your lab for demonstrations as well!
As of right now, these are the prospective days and times we’re looking to have the sessions:
- Tuesday, July 24th 1:30-2:30pm
- Tuesday, July 24th 2:30-3:30pm
- Thursday, July 26th 1:30-2:30pm
- Thursday, July 26th 2:30-3:30pm
- Tuesday, July 31st 1:30-2:30pm and
- Tuesday, July 31st 2:30-3:30pm
- Thursday, August 2nd 1:30-2:30pm
- Thursday, August 2nd 2:30-3:30pm
- Tuesday, August 7th 1:30-2:30pm
- Tuesday, August 7th 2:30-3:30pm
- Thursday, August 9th 1:30-2:30pm
- Thursday, August 9th 2:30-3:30pm
If this is something your department is willing to participate in, please let me know and I’ll be happy to provide more information.
Thank you,
Morgan
