University Of Arkansas Hosts Record Number For 2005 George Washington Carver Project
-- Posted by tfisher on Thursday, May 19 2005

The University of Arkansas will welcome 18 interns, the largest group so far, to participate in the 2005 George Washington Carver Project May 22 through July 1. The previous largest class was 17 in 2001.

Named for the renowned educator and agricultural researcher from Diamond, Mo., the Carver Project gives prospective graduate students from historically Black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions the opportunity to work directly with a UA faculty mentor and gain exposure to post-graduate preparation.

Specifically, students will be introduced to various aspects of graduate study including standardized test preparation, research and presentation skills, and the graduate application and funding process.
The program was originally designed and implemented in 1997 by Willyerd Collier in the Office of Affirmative Action. It began with two students from Southern University completing internships through the Bumpers College. Since then, student involvement has increased to as many as 18 students, and a dozen institutions now participate in the program.

"The Carver Project is named for a true pioneer of agricultural chemistry who was raised less than 80 miles away in southwest Missouri," said Bob Smith, provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. "We are honored to see these gifted students from our neighboring institutions participating in this growing program and look forward to assisting in their research endeavors while here at the University of Arkansas."
