Hello NEACTers,
     This is from my good friend, Charlie Cox, who taught gen-chem at UNH 
as a post-doc several years ago. 
     Are you going to the BCCE?
     Can you help him put this symposium together?
     Thank you,
     Cary Kilner

Hi Cary,
Do you know anyone who would be interested in the following symposium?

We need someone who has advised high school students on career paths in
chemistry, as well as, done outreach to help spark students' interests
in chemistry as a major and career.

Here is the abstract:
The goal of the symposium is to provide an environment to discuss different 
advisement methods, current research in advisement methods, and new ideas and 
methods for equipping both advisors and students with the highest quality 
information possible. The symposium will include discussions on how to advise 
large quantities of students accurately and effectively, how to advise students 
on careers from pre-health to pre-professional including graduate school, and 
finally how to advise students on undergraduate research opportunities and 
careers. Discussions of the incorporation of social networking systems and 
balancing the roles of educator, mentor, and advisor.

You are welcome to submit something. This is my symposium, and we really need
good abstracts and people will to participate. I honestly think that this is
a good problem, but we need willing participants. 

Please forward to anyone who may be interested, or let me know of people who 
I could forward to in order to get more interest. 

The deadline is Friday, and I think they are going to cancel if we cannot get
enough people involved.

Charlie
