Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS): 

Our graduate programs connected to Micro will be hosting a virtual booth during ABRCMS, which is attended by several hundred undergrad, postbacc, and masters students from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical research community. We're looking for a few students or faculty members to join us at the booth and chat with prospective students about research, training, and environment at Harvard. These events are mentoring-focused (not just recruitment), so it's also a great chance to talk to students more generally about research and careers in microbiology. Volunteers would attend at least two of the sessions: November 9 – 12, 2022 Anaheim, CA. Please email deepali_ravel@hms.harvard.edu if interested.

Mentors work with students on a range of activities, including college or summer program applications and a research project (not lab-based). Learn more on the website and sign up here.
