Undergraduate Diversity Program
Traditionally, recipients of the Undergraduate Diversity Program Student Travel Awards participate in a three-day program to learn more about toxicology and careers in biomedical research. The program begins Saturday evening with networking in mentoring groups; an introduction to toxicology; and the CDI Reunion, a celebration including current and past program participants and organizers. Then, the students and advisors participate in the Sunday Undergraduate Education Program. On Monday, the students and advisors participate in Scientific Sessions, visit posters, and attend the In Vitro Toxicology Lecture and Luncheon for Students. Participants continue to network with toxicologists and have a special session to conclude this concentrated exposure to toxicology and to opportunities after graduate studies in the biomedical sciences.
Details on how the 2021 Undergraduate Diversity Program will be presented based on the all-virtual nature of the 2021 meeting will be shared in the coming months. This web page contains an outline of the traditional schedule of events and sessions when the Undergraduate Diversity Program is presented in-person.
