Seeking Admission to Graduate School for the Sciences

TUESDAY, JULY 24
1-2 p.m. 010 West Ridge Research Building (WRRB)

If you are considering the idea of going to graduate school and not sure what to expect, you are invited to a free seminar hosted by Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Chief Scientist Greg Newby and guest panelists Tuesday, July 24 at 1 p.m., in room 010 of the West Ridge Research Building. Prospective graduate students will hear about the best methods for preparation for grad school, how different factors such as standardized test scores, undergraduate research, grades and recommendation letters are considered, how graduate school is different from undergraduate studies, and what different subject areas are available for study.

The presentation is part of an on-going weekly summer science seminar series at ARSC every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in WRRB 010. Scientists and researchers who are using the highly sophisticated and exceptionally fast computational abilities at ARSC are presenting the weekly seminars to demonstrate how computer and information-based technologies are applied to solving real world problems.

UAF's supercomputing center has aided in the development of 3-D computer models of tsunamis, space weather and volcanic eruptions, which have helped provide accurate and timely emergency response information to the public. Other projects focus on computer modeling of the ocean to detect shrinking polar ice caps or monitor fluctuations of fish, bird and marine mammals.
