Summer camp for profs! - Faculty Resource Network, New York University

by Ronald Roach , July 12, 2007

Categories:

With Xavier and Spelman leading the way, the HBCUs, in particular, want to substantially boost the numbers of African American students seeking their Ph.D.s in the life sciences.

"Xavier and Spelman have quite advanced programs in the life sciences. [NYU faculty] have learned an incredible amount about teaching biology and chemistry from the faculty members at those schools," Kallenbach says.

This year, following two summers of intensive teaching workshops, the grant program is concluding with a three-day symposium for network science faculty in Atlanta.

Kallenbach says of the collaboration, "We've gotten back at least as much as we've given."
