Applications to participate in the First Year Research Experience (FYRE) in STEM program are now open. Applications will be accepted now until Oct. 3. The mission of the FYRE program is to introduce research to first-year undergraduates in a practical and accessible way.

Students selected for the FYRE program will be required to enroll in an introductory research seminar course that exposes them to research methods. While there, students will be placed in research positions at Wichita State labs actively involved in scholarly STEM research.

Students can learn more about the First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) in STEM program at an information session led by Moriah Beck at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the Honors College Seminar Room.

For more information, reach out to FYRE Program Director Dr. Moriah Beck at 316-978-5476 or moriah.beck@wichita.edu.

The Cohen Honors College is seeking faculty mentors to work with students selected to participate in the First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) in STEM. All interested faculty members should apply by Oct. 14, and are also encouraged to nominate graduate students to serve as FYRE mentors.

The mission of this FYRE in STEM program is to build a community of STEM students, faculty and professionals from various STEM backgrounds to support young STEM majors or potential majors as they form identities as members of the scientific community, thus improving the likelihood that they will persist to graduation.

To allow the FYRE in STEM program to be a success, we are looking for dedicated research mentors from across campus who can provide an appropriate short-term STEM research project in the spring 2023 semester.

All mentors will be matched with students based on their interests. For more information, contact Moriah Beck at 316-978-5476 or moriah.beck@wichita.edu.

All first-year undergraduate students who are interested in applying to the FYRE in STEM program should be directed to the  FYRE in STEM Student Application.

Faculty can apply at WSU’s FYRE website below.

Faculty, students and staff are invited to attend the event. Space is limited and registration is required.

The ninth annual Expanding Your Horizons Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Conference for middle school girls will take place 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, April 23 at Hubbard Hall. Volunteers will assist in hands-on activities, but need no prior experience. All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt and lunch.

Join us for the final day of Women’s History Month at 3 p.m. March 31 for a free movie screening of “Picture of a Scientist” in Hubbard Hall, room 231.

All students, faculty, staff and guests are welcome.

PICTURE A SCIENTIST chronicles the surge of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. This inspiring documentary features social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all. 

This event is brought to you by WSU’s NSF ADVANCE Project, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and the Graduate School.
