Society of Toxicology Undergraduate Diversity Program
An important priority of the Society of Toxicology
(SOT) is to promote the recruitment and development
of a diverse and creative community of toxicologists
One way that is achieved is by introducing promising
undergraduate students to the discipline of toxicology,
especially students from groups that are
under-represented in the sciences The SOT Undergraduate
Diversity Program began with 10 students and two
advisors from local institutions at the 1989 SOT Annual
Meeting in Atlanta A reflection on the 30th anniversary
of the program is provided in this Communiqué blog
To date, this hugely successful program has hosted
more than 1,000 students from diverse backgrounds
and over 160 advisors These participants represent
more than 340 institutions from around the United
States This year, 37 students and three advisors
received SOT travel support In addition, all undergraduates registered for the Annual Meeting can register to participate in the Sunday Undergraduate Education Program Successes to date mark outstanding progress towards the goal of encouraging students to pursue advanced degrees in the biomedical sciences, especially toxicology.
The Committee on Diversity Initiatives (CDI) Reunion on Saturday night is an opportunity for all those who have been involved with the Program through the years to greet each other and meet the current year participants.
Members of the CDI organize this program, including special toxicology lectures, mentoring, discussions about applying for and succeeding in graduate school, and poster presentations, among other activities More than
80 volunteers serve during each year as speakers, host and peer mentors, and in other roles Special recognition is also extended to those who have procured NIH funding and corporate sponsorship to supplement the support from the Society of Toxicology We are incredibly grateful to over 300 toxicologists as “Friends of CDI” for their contributions to this program.
The SOT web feature “Eye on CDI” provides vignettes from Program participants who have pursued careers in science; a recent Communiqué blog provides a person perspective of the program impact Program alumni report that the Undergraduate Diversity Program provides important insight to assist with their career planning Students also make contacts which lead to summer research opportunities Success of the Program also is indicated by the number of Program alumni who have assumed leadership roles in the Society of Toxicology and
in the scientific community Many speakers and mentors are past program participants
The SOT Undergraduate Diversity Program has been a high impact activity for SOT in to promoting the
recruitment and development of a diverse and creative community of toxicologists
Fun meets facts as the students learn about the Poison Squad and the early days of the US FDA during the program opening ice-breaker.
Program participants establish networks to
provide input as they develop career plans.
