Magnet Foundation Newsletter: Spring 2020

Student Researchers Need Mentors: Many summer internships are not available this summer due to COVID-19, and students are seeking mentors who can guide research projects remotely. If you work in a research setting or company with research opportunities, and have some possible project ideas that students would be able to work on remotely, please send a description of the opportunity as well as the qualifications you expect of students applying to the project to Angelique Bosse (Angelique_P_Bosse@mcpsmd.org).
