Volunteer Opportunities

The Graduate School’s Research Appreciation Day planning is in full swing and in need of about 10 more judges for the big day. There will be a morning session from 8:30 a.m. to noon and an afternoon oral session from 2:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. The need is greatest during the morning. The abstract categories will be Aging/Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer, Cardiovascular, Cellular and Molecular Science, Eye/Vision, Immunology, Microbiology/Infectious Disease, Neuroscience, Proteomics and Genomics, General Biochemistry, Receptor Pharmacology and Drug Delivery, and Other. Please email Dr. Gwirtz at Patricia.Gwirtz@unthsc.edu if you can participate or have any suggestions.

This event for our Graduate School students will provide them with information on non-traditional careers for scientists. Dr. Clifford Mintz will be the guest speaker, and we'd like to have an alumni panel from noon to 1 p.m. Please email James.Renfro@unthsc.edu if you can join this panel.
