Alpha Chi Sigma Rush
Tired of trying to find different organizations that meet all of your goals and interests as a student? Look no further! Alpha Chi Sigma covers all of your bases. Alpha Chi Sigma is the professional co-ed chemistry fraternity here at Georgia Tech, and it focuses on social, professional, and outreach components. Instead of joining 3 different organizations that focus on 3 different things, why not have it all?
Join Alpha Chi Sigma and become a part of something much more than just a college club. Become a lifelong member and make connections that you will appreciate and cherish long after you leave college. (Please keep reading for additional details!)
Join us at our Rush Events:
11-12 pm: MS&E 2nd Floor Atrium
5-6 pm: Ford ES&T Atrium (L1)
Social: Members develop friendships with people who share similar interests, in chemistry and social activities. Our brotherhood chair plans events including Atlanta Braves games, Thrashers games, weekly dinners, and a yearly brotherhood retreat to help develop lifelong friendships.
Professional: Alpha Chi Sigma isn’t only about having fun though. It is also about developing professional ties and working with professionals in the field. Since many Alpha Chi Sigma brothers graduate and go to work for the biggest companies in the world, you will always have contacts in the business world should you ever need them. Also, many professors are brothers as well, which can help with the planning and applying processes if you decide to go to graduate school. Our professional activities chair also plans events during the semester to strengthen our connection with the professional world.
Outreach: Alpha Chi Sigma brothers love to do outreach events in the local community. Every semester, local Boy Scouts come to campus and we travel to local schools We do demonstrations for the students and Boy Scouts, teaching them fundamental principles of science and wowing them (sometimes with fire!) to help them gain an interest in chemistry. This past year, Alpha Chi Sigma brothers also helped out with the activities during National Chemistry Week with local high school students.

Northwestern University Physical Sciences-Oncology Center Summer Research Experience for Minority Students
The Northwestern University Physical Sciences-Oncology Center (NU PS-OC) is one of twelve Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers funded by the National Cancer Institute. The mission of Northwestern's PS-OC is to apply concepts and methodologies from the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering to elucidating how information encoded in nucleotide or amino acid sequences is read and interpreted and, importantly, how this process is altered in cancer cells. A center website with comprehensive information about the Center, including summer research opportunities, is set to launch within the week.
NU PS-OC invites applications to its eight-week summer program for under served college students with interests in both the physical and biomedical sciences. The program will allow students concentrating in engineering, mathematics, or the physical sciences to participate in research that applies physical sciences concepts and methodologies to problems in tumor biology. In addition to acquiring hands-on lab experience, participants will also attend weekly lunchtime seminars and a two-day workshop to gain a basic understanding of tumor biology and cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

INTA and ECON classes still avaialbe until Friday
INTA 4060
There is still space left in the joint undergraduate-graduate seminar on international law (INTA 4060/8803 MF2). The seminar meets Mondays, 9:05-11:55 AM. Below find the course description. For more information, permission, or a copy of the syllabus, please contact Professor Fabry at mfabry@gatech.edu. The seminar is normally only open to juniors and seniors and requires at least two substantive IR courses as pre-requisites, but Prof. Fabry is willing to let in other committed students as well.
The purpose of this seminar is to explore the place of international law within the larger context of world politics. It asks questions such as: What kind of law is international law and what needs does it fulfill? Where do particular legal rules come from? What role does international law play, and how does the interplay between law and politics operate, in actual decision-making of foreign policymakers and international organizations? Can international law be justifiably circumvented or defied? Can the world be changed and improved through it? The seminar is divided into two parts. The first part looks at different conceptualizations of the place of international law within international relations. The second part focuses on a number of contemporary issues in world politics with important legal dimensions, in particular those related to international security, human rights and governance in intergovernmental organizations.
ECON
The School of Economics has now opened its classes to all majors. We have several classes that may interest your students:
ECON 4360 Network Economics - How 'shape' of relationships affects resource allocation
ECON 4421 Regional Economics - Economics in self defined regions

ORISE Opportunities
ORISE administers many programs that provides paid educational and research experiences and have eligibility requirements that vary from program to program. Students or faculty will need to go to the following link(s) and select the program that interests them. Each program's web page has instructions on eligibility requirements, application submission, and a link to the online application or a printable application. All ORISE programs require applicants to submit the appropriate application and supporting documentation. The program's web page also provides the name and e-mail address of a program specialist who can help answer any questions that students may have concerning eligibility requirements or submitting an application for a particular program. When e-mailing questions to the program specialist the program name should be included in the e-mail. When students choose a program that interests them, they will need to CAREFULLY read the eligibility requirements. Many of the programs administered by ORISE are open only to U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens.
This web page is for the Higher Education Research Experiences at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (HERE). The program has an online application. Deadlines are stated but they are flexible for the HERE program. There are multiple academic levels in the HERE program, i.e., entering freshman, undergraduate, post-BS, a graduate student or a faculty member.
The students will find information about the Department of Energy's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) as well as an electronic application which can complete online. The SULI program is for undergraduates and graduating seniors. At this site students can also find applications for the Community College Institute (CCI) and the Pre-Service Teacher (PST) programs.
