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

佐治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将是始于1987年的一系列此类年度会议的延续。NCBPS的目的是帮助和鼓励那些对物理学有兴趣和能力的非裔美国学生进入并完成博士课程，并开始从事物理学的研究和教学事业。这个系列会议的想法源于麻省理工学院的一群非裔美国物理学研究生。这些会议是由全国各地主办机构的学生(在教职员工的协助下)组织和实施的。会议的核心信息通过(1)杰出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报告，(3)研究生录取过程研讨会，(4)研究生资助研讨会，以及(5)成功完成物理学研究生项目的论坛来传递。这次会议的主要观众是物理专业的本科生，或对这一主题表示真正兴趣的本科生。会议的一个主要目标是让这些正在做出职业决定的学生能够与黑人研究生和黑人科学家见面并互动，他们可以充当导师和榜样。

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.***
