Mike Summers National Academy of Sciences election reception
Our May social will be held this coming Friday in Meyerhoff 145 at 3:00 PM. In this social we will mark the end of the academic year, welcome Aaron Smith to the department (he will be at UMBC on may 12-13), and have a special celebration to recognize Mike Summers' election to the National Academy of Sciences. Mike's election to the NAS is an amazing accomplishment. It is the first in the history of UMBC. It recognizes Mike's contributions to HIV research, and also highlights his contribution to broadening participation of students from underrepresented groups in STEM.
We are anticipating significant presence from the administration including the Provost and Dean, and a representative from the UMBC President's office if he can't come himself. We will also have Mike's parents present, as they coincidentally happen to be in town.
Please make every effort to attend. Please RSVP to me if you plan to attend.
