Gator Launch
If you know a student who is pursuing a major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) and who identifies with an underrepresented population—including gender, economic status, ethnicity, and sexual orientation—consider referring them to the CRC’s Gator Launch program. This professional development program teaches students how to find internships and full-time jobs and provides them with a mentor who currently works in a related field. The CRC has some fun student spotlights you can use when you are discussing this program with your students. Ask CRC for logo.
Advisor Karen Ehlers says “I LOVE . . . www.freerice.com. It’s a great site to practice vocabulary and allows students (and advisors) to get ready for verbal portions of any graduate/professional exam. Each time you answer correctly, you donate 10 grains of rice. Play 10 minutes a day, and you can donate a bowl of rice to a third world country every day!!!”
