UMD GEM Fellows and GEM Alumni Association

The GEM Fellowship was designed to focus on promoting opportunities for individuals to enter industry at the graduate level in areas such as research and development, product development, and other high level technical careers. GEM also offers exposure to a number of opportunities in academia.

The University of Maryland, in partnership with graduate STEM programs, The Office of Graduate Recruitment and Community (OGRC), and The Graduate School, is one of the 120+ GEM institutional members. OGRC works closely with UMD programs to recruit GEM scholars into graduate programs.  

Once GEM Fellows enroll, they are invited to participate in National GEM Consortium activities and university-level activities. Programming for GEM Fellows include enrichment/community building, networking, professional & career development, and National GEM Consortium guest speakers.
