The University of Arkansas will host the 2004 George Washington Carver Project May 23 — July 2. Named for the renowned educator and agricultural researcher from Diamond, Mo., the Carver Project gives prospective graduate students from historically Black colleges and universities the opportunity to work directly with a faculty mentor and gain exposure to various aspects of graduate study, including standardized test preparation, research and presentation skills, and the graduate application and funding process.

"This marks the seventh year the university has hosted the Carver Project," said Angela Wilson, recruiter for the UA Graduate School. "And with each year, we see both the number and quality of our applicants improving. That’s a great sign of the growing reputation of this program."

This year’s participating institutions include the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Dillard and Xavier Universities in New Orleans, La., Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Miss., Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Tex., and Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.

UA departments hosting Carver interns include mechanical engineering, agricultural economics, civil engineering, physics, chemistry, horticulture, humanities, industrial engineering, drama, and kinesiology.
