Location: Home > Minority Activities > 2008 Minority Access Program Participants and Activities

The Minority Affairs Committee successfully completed the first year of the Minority Access Program (MAP) in December, 2008. The MAP is designed to provide research and training activities in top notch endocrine labs to minority undergraduate students.

In the Spring of 2008, eight students were selected to participate in MAP activities, which included summer research internships at endocrine training institutions, attendance at ENDO '08 held in San Francisco, CA and an e-mentoring program.

Congratulations to the 2008 MAP award winners!
