Community Building

 

The STARTneuro Community Building Symposium hosts ~10 community college faculty and staff for a two-day symposium at UC San Diego in early August of each year.

The goals of this symposium are to promote knowledge of neuroscience research, career paths (especially at UCSD) and build trust between community colleges and our UC San Diego neuroscience community.

The symposium features sessions about neuroscience research and academic paths on campus, the transfer student experience, and professional paths available to PhD holders. Over the course of two days, attendees will meet UC San Diego's neuroscience faculty, current STARTneuro students, and academic professionals at UC San Diego who can advise on the transfer student process. 

To thank attendees for spending their valuable summer time with us, an honorarium will be provided.
