Magnet Foundation Newsletter: Winter 2021
Can you mentor a Senior Research Project? Summer internships will again be limited this summer due to COVID-19, and students are seeking mentors who can guide research projects remotely. If you work in an academic research setting or a 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).
