Description

The Undergraduate Diversity Program Advisor Travel Award provides the opportunity for faculty advisors to attend the Undergraduate Diversity Program from March 15-17, 2025, at the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting.

Applicants must request that a supervisor, faculty mentor, or dean provide a letter of reference in support of their award application. This letter should describe the applicant's history of mentoring students in the classroom and in research, and the applicant's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in science and the university.
