Reflection in Action - The Day of Celebration
Reflection in Action: building healthy communities™ (RIA) is a two-phase program for Boston and Cambridge 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Phase one is a city-wide student competition in the written, visual and performing arts; and phase two is a day-long event celebrating healthy living. The program links improvements in individual and community health to engagement in civic action. Reflection in Action involves expanding middle school students’ knowledge about health and public health issues, while at the same time recognizing students’ roles as leaders in the community and providing an opportunity for students to use the arts to express their messages about health. Last year, 23 schools and organizations participated in the contest and over 425 students attended RIA Day.

Biomedical Science Careers Student Conference
This conference is designed for postdoctoral fellows; medical, dental and graduate students; college and community college students; post-baccalaureates; and high school seniors and juniors. There are two objectives of the Biomedical Science Careers Student Conference. The primary objective is to provide over 1000 African-American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students with an opportunity to network with advisors/role models from the basic and clinical sciences, medicine, public health, academic administration and biotechnology/pharmaceutical industries. These advisors/role models will encourage students to complete advanced studies, and provide concrete advice and information on available resources, professional opportunities and career paths in biomedical science and science-related fields. The second objective is to enable students to meet, inspire and network with one another. Student participants should be seriously interested in or currently studying in biomedical, biotechnology or other science-related fields, such as medicine, chemistry, physics, biology, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, physical therapy, public health, allied health or environmental science.

7:30am - 6:00pm | The Westin Copley Place Boston

APPLICATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN October 2013 AND CAN BE REQUESTED AT LISE_KAYE@HMS.HARVARD.EDU.
