The EEB/MCDB Fall Preview Recruitment Weekend is an opportunity for junior and senior undergraduates from underrepresented groups to learn more about our graduate program, meet with faculty with interests similar to theirs, and receive guidance in preparing their grad school applications. Students applied for this program (deadline was Sept. 15, 2016).

Students will arrive on Saturday and have dinner with their hosts. Sunday's activities include a trip to the ES George Reserve (EEB participants), panel "how to" on applying to graduate programs and a group dinner (EEB and MCDB participants). Monday morning is the time students would visit labs and meet with faculty and students with similar interests.

A firsthand opportunity to learn about the graduate programs in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), the two departments primarily responsible for biological research at the University of Michigan.
