STEM Advisement Day

Hello all,
I wanted to quickly remind you that on October 8, 2011 some NaviGators will be at Miami Dade College, Kendall Campus providing information to students and parents at Feria Para Aprender (Learning Fair). Join us from 12:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.


In addition, please save the date for STEM Advisement Day.
I will be in Miami Dade College, North Campus presenting about the University of Florida Microbiology and Cell Science Online Program on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
 It will be a day filled with information for all Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, career oriented students!

S.M.A.R.T

Microbiology and Cell Science students, wouldn't it be a S.M.A.R.T move if you earned FULL tuition, paid internships, cash award, employment placement, and a plethora of other benefits simply by being willing to enhance your research background?

We recently learned of a scholarship opportunity through Dr. Triplett, our very own Department Chair of Microbiology and Cell Science at University of Florida. 


This scholarship is open to any student pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in any of the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

All you must do is meet the eligibility requirements found HERE, and enjoy all the benefits found HERE!

Hello everyone,

 Just wanted to tell you all about an amazing event the NaviGATORS were invited to in order to provide you with all the information you need regarding our program. Join us on Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Miami Dade College, Kendall Campus for the First Annual Miami-Dade Feria Para Aprender (Fair to Learn) 2011. This event is intended to promote education in our communities by providing our citizens with resources and information necessary to either start, or go back to school.  Find us at the Orange section where the NaviGATORS will be promoting science careers by providing feedback and information on how you can also be a Gator from home!

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook!

It's a Luau!

Today was Club Rush at Miami Dade College North Campus. Karem, Ana, Willie and I met up with Dr. Triplett to take advantage of this event and inform MDC-North students about the transfer possibilities through this program. We had a great turn out and I was not surprised to see that many students enjoy the idea of being able to keep their demanding lifestyle in Miami, while still working towards receiving their BS degree from UF. Go gators! We were extremely proud today and elated to share all the information with the students, specially now that we've had some experience with the classes. Below are some pictures from today's event, enjoy!

Week One, by Annie Sosa

We made it through week one! 

By now we should all be familiar with Sakai, our online learning center. 

Students, if you have any questions about Sakai , click HERE you will find most, if not all, the information necessary. It definitely helped me. 

Karem (a fellow classmate) and I have the same classes, which is divine because we are constantly checking up one each other. 

Our professors are great, they are very thorough with the information. I must say since my daily schedule is pretty hectic, I love the convenience of online classes. The lectures are up all day every day! I took my first quiz this past week and I felt completely prepared. 

Stay tuned for more!

The Microbiology and Cell Science Distance Program at the University of Florida is a collaboration with Miami Dade College that offers South Florida college students with an AA degree, the opportunity to transfer to the University of Florida as Microbiology majors without having to physically be present on campus.

This is an amazing opportunity for students who cannot afford to travel upstate, whether it be because of work, family, or any other personal reason. 

The program began this Fall 2011 on August 22, 2011 with approximately 15 students.

Stay tuned!
