ASLO (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography)
Multicultural Program - 2013

Hampton University, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and the National Science Foundation offer special opportunities for under-represented minority students (undergraduate and graduate) interested in aquatic sciences (oceanography, limnology, stream ecology, marine biology, fisheries, etc.). The ASLO Multicultural Program provides students full support (travel, housing, food, and registration) to participate in the annual meetings of ASLO, to take place this year in New Orleans, LA February 17-23, 2013.

Students present their own research in a student symposium or the regular ASLO sessions. They gain valuable learning experiences and exposures to the most recent developments in the aquatic sciences. Participants make important professional contacts that will help them achieve academic and career objectives. Students also receive a free membership in ASLO, including a subscription to the journal Limnology and Oceanography.

Special activities include: A pre-conference workshop, exciting field trips, working with "meeting mentors" to help students navigate the meetings, a keynote address from a leading aquatic scientist and an opportunity to volunteer service to the community on Saturday after the meetings.

Since 1990, 750 students have participated in ASLOMP.

Application is due September 20, 2012.

This program is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
