The Michigan Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) Fall Conference is fast approaching (November 10, 2018) with the deadline for registering occurring very soon (October 22, 2018). We would like to get a good representation of Hope College for the meeting. There have been faculty who have been funded in the past who have been reluctant to go to this great small conference that is important to MSGC. It is a great conference for students to make presentations and participate in an interactive professional development opportunity. We are hoping that faculty and students who have been funded last year and this year would be able to attend. Students will have their travel expenses and hotel paid by the University of Michigan; please email Brenda Vyletel, Program Manager (bvyletel@umich.edu), before the conference registration deadline.
In addition, note the proposal deadline for both faculty research projects and student fellowships: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 5:00 pm.
Undergraduate Fellowship awards are going up to $3,000 this fall. Yet the funds available remain the same, so competition will be stronger.
If you encounter issues or have questions about the MSGC Conference or the grant and fellowship opportunities, please contact Peter Gonthier, MSGC Representative for Hope College (gonthier@hope.edu).
