Catching UP
As you know we are preparing for our 2010 YSP Poster Session to be held here at NU on Thursday, August 5th from 10 - 1 p.m. in Raytheon (Egan Building). I started the YSP Program in 1989 with a federal grant, hoping to encourage more US students to enter Science and Engineering majors. The original program ran for about nine years, starting again five years ago. Through the years I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing young students. I thought it might be beneficial to our new students to see just how far many of the alumni have gone and thought a blog might help some of you stay connected. Please share your stories, ideas and resources with your fellow YSP's. As you can see I am still here at NU running multiple programs. In addition to the YSP and RET programs, I am co-principal investigator of a NSF STEP grant, expanding partnerships between NU and several Community Colleges. I continue to work with the Gordon Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging and also a new Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, ALERT. My three children are now grown. My daughter became a teacher and recently was married, my son's are in college at Assumption and UMASS Amherst. I look forward to hearing from you all.
