All presentations will be oral presentations. Applications to present are due Wednesday, November 2, 2022. Please contact David Advent at david.advent@fsu.edu with any questions. 

The project does not need to be tied to a student’s major or minor, but it should be guided by a student’s academic goals and future plans. Funds may be used for living expenses, materials, lost income from not working during summer, and/or travel. Projects must be culminated in oral, poster, or creative presentation at the annual President's Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence.

Everyone in our FAMU-FSU Engineering community is invited to join our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts at the college. This past year, our Let’s Start Here (LSH) Leadership Committee began this work in earnest for our faculty, students and staff. We are currently accepting volunteer interest in serving on the newly-formed Engineering DEI Advisory Council, which will pick up where the LSH committee left off.

In addition to the DEI Advisory Council, there are myriad other ways to get involved in creating a college culture that is more inclusive, offers equal opportunities for all and celebrates the diversity on our campus. There’s something for anyone who is interested in this important work. Please take a moment to complete this form if you are interested in joining us.

TallyRobotics is recruiting volunteers to serve at our local FIRST robotics competitions this season. Attached to this email is a volunteer guide and below is a description of our immediate needs for the FIRST LEGO League (4th-8th grade) and FIRST Tech Challenge (7th-12th grade) events coming up this fall and winter. Volunteering with a FIRST event is a fantastic way to inspire students in our community to follow a STEM path as they consider their career choices. Download the Volunteer Registration User Guide here.

TallyRobotics is looking to build up its local volunteer force for these events. Volunteers receive breakfast & lunch along with a volunteer shirt and fun FIRST swag. Please let me know if you have any questions or trouble signing up.
