RCMS Special Project: 8TH Annual National Conference of Black Physics Students '94; Atlanta, GA; 1994

格鲁吉亚理工学院物理学院将于1994年2月主办第八届全国黑人物理学生会议。 NCBPS'94将是1987年开始的一系列此类年度会议的延续。 NCBPS的动机是帮助和鼓励那些对物理学感兴趣和有能力的非洲裔美国学生进入并完成博士学位。计划，并启动研究和教学生涯中的物理。 这个会议系列的想法起源于麻省理工学院的一群非洲裔美国物理研究生。 这些会议是由学生（在教职员工的协助下）在全国各主办机构组织和举办的。 会议的核心信息通过（1）杰出的科学家和工程师的讲座，（2）当前黑人研究生和本科生的技术演示，（3）研究生入学过程的研讨会，（4）研究生财政援助研讨会，以及（5）成功完成物理学研究生课程的论坛。 会议的主要观众包括物理专业的本科生，或对该学科表示真正兴趣的学生。 会议的一个主要目标是允许这些学生，谁是在作出职业决定，将塑造他们的工作生涯的过程中，满足和互动与黑人研究生，和黑人科学家谁可以作为导师和榜样。

The Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Physics will host the eighth National Conference of Black Physics Students (NCBPS) in February 1994. NCBPS'94 will be the continuation of a sequence of such annual conferences that began in 1987. The motivation for the NCBPS is to assist and encourage those African-American students who have shown interest and ability in physics to enter and complete Ph.D. programs, and to initiate research and teaching careers in Physics. The idea for this conference series originated with a group of African-American physics graduate students at MIT. The conferences have been organized and implemented by students (with faculty and staff assistance) at various host institutions throughout the country. The core information of the conference is transmitted through (1) lectures by distinguished scientists and engineers, (2) technical presentations by current Black graduate and undergraduate students, (3) workshops on the graduate admission process, (4) seminars on graduate financial aid, and (5) forums on successfully completing a graduate program in Physics. The primary audience for the conference consists of undergraduate students who are majoring in physics, or who have expressed a genuine interest in the subject. A principal goal of the conference is to permit these students, who are in the process of making career decisions that will shape the course of their working lives, to meet and interact with Black graduate students, and Black scientists who can serve as mentors and role models.***
