Student Development 1Optimizing Interactions in Orlando: Getting the Most Out of the NOBCChE Conference

9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Oceans 9

As a student or postdoc, you need to maximize your limited time at the NOBCChE conference to advance your academic and career goals. Whether your interest lie in identifying a mentor, enhancing your network to collaborate with other subject matter experts, or landing a job, it’s a necessity to be equipped with tools to navigate today’s professional landscape. During this session, members of the Student Programs Committee will share insightful and practical guidance for orbiting your career and optimizing your chances of connecting with professionals to create STEM opportunities.

Student Development AgendaMonday, September 21

COACh Workshop 1: Professional Skills Training for Minority Graduate Students and Postdocs

1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Palani

This workshop is designed to introduce negotiations or solution findings to graduate students and postdocs. Participants will learn to develop their “best alternative to a negotiated agreement” and finding their own personal negotiation styles. Attendees will practice through a selection from case studies including developing a strong advocate, credit for research and publications, developing connect-edness, obtaining resources that enable productivity, opportunity to demonstrate strong performance, the “all important” reference letter and contracting for that first or new position. Discussions will focus on issues relevant to minority women.

SpeakerDr. Jane Tucker, President, J Tucker Associates, Adjunct Faculty to Center for Creative Leadership – Greensboro, NC

Dr. Ernestine Taylor, President, ET Consulting and Adjunct Faculty to Center for Creative Leadership – Greensboro, NC

Student Development 2Meandering the Financial Maze: Applying for a Scholarship or Fellowship Award

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Oceans 9

Securing financial aid for funding a graduate or

undergraduate degree can be a difficult yet

rewarding process. Fortunately, the experiences

of others can make applying for a scholarship or

fellowship awards less of a confounding endeavor!

Learn how to prepare a winning application from our

esteemed panelists, who have received a variety of

undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral

scholarships and fellowships. Panelists will discuss

their personal experiences with applying for awards,

as well as offer insight into what can help make an

application competitive. In addition, information will

be provided on several scholarships/fellowships that

NOBCChE students would be eligible to apply for.

Panel Facilitator

Dr. Renee Williams, BioPharma Inc

Student Development 3The Oral Presentation: How to Make Your’s Worth Attending

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Oceans 9

In this workshop, participants will be shown the dos

and don’ts of making a scientific presentation.

Covering proper use of titles and captions, avoiding

slide clutter, proper integration of animations, and

other topics, participants will be given the chance to

help identify problems with a presentation slide and

offer ideas on improving the presentations in ques-

tion. If time permits, discussion will also be done on

the effective preparation of poster presentations.

Speaker

Dr. Darryl Boyd, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

Student Development 5Interactive Presentation Review

3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Oceans 9

In these concurrent sessions, participants will have

the opportunity to meet one-on-one with members of

industry, government and academia in order to have

their presentations, resumes or CVs evaluated. All

sessions will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Resume/CV Review session will have reviewers

organized by area of employment, so that students

can have their materials reviewed by someone

involved in a desired field of employment.

The Scientific Presentations breakout session will have

a speaker-ready setup so that they can check their

presentations for completeness and correctness.

Elevator Sessions @ NOBCChE - Open Mic Networking Reception Sponsored by COACh

As the pace of work and activity continues to increase

in today’s age, it becomes increasingly important to

convey one’s opinions and results in a quick, clear and

concise manner. In the Elevator Sessions, students will

get the opportunity to present their research in a dis-

tilled, yet easily accessible form. Participants will get

recordings of their ‘elevator speeches’ with feedback

so that they have the opportunity to continue improv-

ing this necessary skill. There will also be time to build

peer networks for collaboration and mentorship, so

business cards are recommended.

At the ConneXions Poster Session and Reception, students will be given the opportunity to present their research conducted over the past year to attendees of the conference. Posters will be considered for various sponsored prizes based on the quality of the research as well as the quality of the presentation of the poster. In addition, some poster presenters will be given the opportunity to present the results of the research in a special oral session occurring later in the conference. Finally, Student Programs will recognize the second Mentor on the Map, a local NOBCChE member nominated for their work in mentoring and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups in the sciences, particularly at the undergraduate and high school levels.
