202 FRIB Graduate Brochure
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are a priority for the FRIB Laboratory. FRIB aspires to be a role model for DEIB in nuclear physics in the larger science community As a federally funded laboratory and university, we believe it is imperative that the student body and workforce are representative of our nation’s makeup. Users, visitors, students, and employees at the FRIB Laboratory share a common interest—to contribute to society through scientific discovery. This venture is best conducted when everyone is included and valued, and behaves in a welcoming and respectful manner. Creating a collegial, inclusive, safe, and supportive environment is everyone’s responsibility. We are working to increase representation through an integrated set of programs and strategic relationships to attract students from Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) to FRIB. MSI programs are key to diversifying the research field and the workforce. Such diversification will open up new ideas and paths for scientific discovery. Take a look below at the snapshots of programs FRIB has in place to attract students to physics, starting in high school through faculty placements. Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation: Exploring the Nuclear Matter (PING) – Summer (two weeks) and academic year (nine months) • Collaboration between National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and Associated Universities Inc. to focus on multiple levels of physics and astronomy • Pipeline to high-school students and mentoring from undergraduate students • Exposure to basic and applied nuclear science and conferences networking PEGASUS/Director Research Scholars (DRS) – Two-day visit • Pipeline to undergraduate students • Exposure to MSU physics and nuclear-physics programs Physics Immersion – Summer (two weeks) • Pre-training/skills building prior to attending summer research • Mentoring program (MSU Summer Research Opportunities Program/Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) for transition to graduate school MSI fellowship – One-year transition program (Virginia State University and Morgan State University) • Postdocs/graduate students transition to faculty position at MSIs • 100 percent MSU support with MSI teaching opportunity Students Training and Engagement Program for Undergraduates in Physics (STEP-UP) • Non-scientist personnel from MSI community • Holistic approach for recruitment and retention Institute for Nuclear Science to Inspire the next Generation of a Highly Trained workforce (INSIGHT) • INSIGHT is a nationwide resource center for the U.S. Department of Energy • Current partners: Historical Black Institutions (9) and Historical Hispanic Institutions (2) Participants in the ‘Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation (PING): Exploring the Nuclear Matter’ program take part in activities at FRIB and NSCL. 22 2022_FRIB_Graduate_Brochurev4.indd 22 10/29/2021 3:33:38 PM
Women and Minorities in the Physical Sciences Help encourage greater diversity in the physical sciences through WaMPS Mentoring program Women and Minorities in the Physical Sciences (WaMPS) is a graduate student organization at Michigan State University that strives to promote diversity in the physical sciences by encouraging women and minorities to pursue the field, as well as working to create an inviting and supportive community for those who are already part of the physical sciences. WaMPS aims to include students from all backgrounds, so our group is comprised of a variety of students in the physics department (and some nuclear chemists). Outreach WaMPS holds a variety of events each semester. We meet monthly to discuss articles or hold workshops about different topics relevant to women and minorities in the field. WaMPS has also taken field trips to museums or to see relevant movies, such as Hidden Figures, and ‘The Theory of Everything’. We host games nights and barbecues. WaMPS strives to create a program which fosters collaboration and professional growth in a laid back, relaxed atmosphere. We offer a variety of mentoring events and programs for students in different stages of their education and professional development. WaMPS also has a strong outreach program at MSU and within the greater Lansing area. The Outreach Program has put together a series of interactive demonstrations to teach about various topics, including electricity and magnetism and states of matter. These are presented at various outreach events (Impression 5 Science Center, MSU Girl Scout Day STEM Day, and many more) to share our excitement about science with younger generations. Science and Learning at Michigan State (SL@MS) This is a summer science experience for local middle school students. During the SL@MS program, students practice science skills in a personalized and student-driven environment through experimentation, competition, and demonstration. Throughout the camp, students also gain knowledge about waves and their applications in lasers, radios, sound, and more!
