Summer Opportunity - AmeriCorps Service Year

This summer, senior students will have the opportunity to do a service year with AmeriCorps. This program involves caring for infants and children up to age six who are at risk for abuse and neglect in Houston, TX. Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will serve these vulnerable children throughout a 12-month commitment, living in a private, gated community (at no cost) and receiving a living allowance.

Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will work collaboratively with other AmeriCorps Members in the home to ensure that children’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met. While the commitment to our organization is only one year, the impact AmeriCorps Members have on the children in their care is lifelong. In turn, the children’s strength, resilience, and love will also make a lifelong impact on them.

This program is currently accepting applications for the September 2024-August 2025 service year. The application can be found at: https://www.casahope.org/hands-of-hope-application

For more information, please contact Darean Talmadge 713-529-0639 or dtalmadge@casahope.org

Graduate Programs - MSU Medical Neuroscience Graduate Certificate

The Neuroscience Program at Michigan State University is offering a 12-credit, fully online graduate certificate program in Medical Neuroscience. The program is aimed at students interested in applying to science graduate or professional school, particularly those looking for gap year academics and/or those in need of academic enhancement prior to applying.

The Medical Neuroscience certificate program will provide post-baccalaureate credentials and career development for students seeking to improve their academic profile or employment qualifications. The program is aimed at students interested in applying to graduate or professional school and individuals working in the pharmaceutical or medical device industries. The health care field is changing with new medical research advancing scientific knowledge at a rapid pace, and our program aims at helping students to navigate developments in the field of neuroscience.

Admission to graduate or professional schools has become a complex and highly competitive process. Changes to admission exams, like the MCAT, shifts focus from testing what the applicants know to testing how they apply and use what they know. Our program will give students the skills to think critically, work in teams, and communicate effectively, all important skills necessary for success in graduate school, professional school, or industry.
