STONY BROOK LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCE FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION (LSAMP)
The LSAMP program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. LSAMP and is funded to increase the number of under-represented minorities (African-American, Latino, Native American, Alaskan Native and Native Pacific Islander) who pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Applicants must be either citizens or permanent residents of the United States. The LSAMP program provides scholarship support for incoming first-year students and provides support for research projects designed by upper division LSAMP students. The LSAMP program is especially interested in high-achieving students who intend to pursue post-baccalaureate studies in science or mathematics and bachelor degrees in engineering. The LSAMP program is not funded to support students declaring majors in medicine, nursing, allied health sciences, or non STEM majors. All application information will be held in strictest confidence.

ANNE SAYRE WISE AWARD
The Anne Sayre Prize is awarded annually to a WISE woman who reflects the spirit of Anne Sayre, a scholar, a biographer, fiction writer and judge. Anne Sayre was the author of the well-known biography Rosalind Franklin and DNA, which established the critical role which Rosalind Franklin portrayed in the discovery of the structure of DNA. Specifically, Watson and Crick used an X-ray diffraction pattern photograph of the DNA molecule that Rosalind Franklin had taken in making their landmark breakthrough. Anne Sayre’s book was significant both for encouraging a reassessment of Rosalind Franklin’s contributions to the discovery of DNA and for disclosing how sexism has at times strongly colored science and scientific careers. The book is widely read by women scientists and others and is commonly used in courses such as the WISE course on the “Society and Gender in Science and Engineering” which considers the way social, political, economic, cultural, and gender factors shape the way science is carried out and scientific careers evolve. Anne Sayre felt very close to WISE and was strongly committed to its goals. She was one of the first instructor’s for the “Society and Gender in Science and Engineering” (WISE 242) course.

Note: Students enrolled in a 5-year combined or a sequential degree program entering into their graduate career are ineligible.

The winner of the AnneSayre Prize receives a check for $500 and a copy of Anne Sayre’s book.

Eligibility: Open to all WISE students who submit an application consisting of an essay of no more than five double-spaced pages.

Deadline: Completed applications should be submitted directly to the WISE Office, Room 220 Engineering, by March 26, 2012.
