Happy New Year, Student Division!
We hope that the winter break was an opportunity for rest and relaxation for you all. Although uncertain times are undoubtedly ahead, there are lots of events and conferences to look forward to in the months to come. Before the new term gets rolling, we wanted to share some of those opportunities. As always, be sure to reach out if you have any questions or opportunities to share with the division! You can always find the full newsletters on our division website at: https://sites.asee.org/students/updates/
Enjoy the rest of your break, and until the next newsletter, stay warm and well :).
Best,

- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: ASEE 90-day Equity Challenge
The ASEE 90-day Equity Challenge is underway!
Engineering and engineering technology (E&ET) student organizations offer opportunities for students to develop peer networks, gain valuable co-curricular experiences, apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real-world challenges, and prepare for future success in the workplace. Participation in engineering student organizations can offer students access to career opportunities including mentoring, internships/co-ops, job opportunities. The access and experiences that these opportunities afford are valuable and formative for an engineering student’s success and persistence. But the question we should ask ourselves is: are all students able to take advantage of, and benefit from, these opportunities?
In this 90-day Equity Challenge, ASEE’s Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity has challenged the leaders of student organizations to identify and address barriers that exist within the local chapter of their organization which may prevent equitable and inclusive engagement by all students. At the end of the 90-day challenge, fifteen (15) teams will be selected to win a $1,000 prize for their organization, have their work highlighted on a national platform, and be featured in multiple press releases.

This REU Site program is carefully designed to offer opportunities for each REU participant to engage in authentic and funded research tasks, both individually and collaboratively, as well as an opportunity to gain experience in managing the team project deliverables.
Each REU student will receive up to $8,450, including 1) a stipend of $6,000, 2) a housing and meal allowance of $1,700, and 3) up to $750 for a round-trip airfare ticket to travel between their distant location and USU.
The applicants must be at least 18 years old by the time the program starts on May 16, 2022, must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States, must be an undergraduate student who will not graduate before September 1, 2022 (in either 4-year or 2-year schools) with a good academic standing in a professional undergraduate program in science, technology (including engineering technology), engineering, or mathematics.
