BEST BET is a collaborative effort that draws upon the expertise of five research-intensive institutions across the country [Boston University; Cornell University; University of Colorado, Denver; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill); Wayne State University]. The goal of the program is to focus on career exploration to engage traditionally underrepresented undergraduate students studying science.<\/p>\n A goal of the program is to build capacity of minority-serving\u00a0undergraduate institutions to\u00a0provide career resources that will increase underrepresented\u00a0minority (URM) student\u00a0awareness of and motivation for pursuing STEM careers\/advanced degrees. The program will also offer shadowing experiences (or \u201csite visits\u201d) that will provide\u00a0undergraduates with the\u00a0opportunity to attend a multi-day event at one of our partner sites during the spring, summer\u00a0or fall semester. Each BEST BET partner site has put together a unique schedule that will enable participants to do more than just attend a seminar or panel\u00a0discussion.<\/p>\n BEST BET Site Visits will:<\/strong><\/p>\n Career Exploration Panel at Xavier University, June 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n Panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n loading slideshow...<\/p><\/div> Career Exploration Panel at Boston University, October 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n Panelists<\/strong><\/p>\n loading slideshow...<\/p><\/div> Broadening Experience in\u00a0Scientific Training – Beginning Enhancement Track (BEST BET) is funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative called Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES).
