SMRP Scholarship Opportunity

I’m reaching out on behalf of the Society for Maintenance & Reliability and Professionals (SMRP), a nonprofit professional society formed by practitioners to promote excellence in maintenance, reliability and physical asset management. Every year, SMRP offers five scholarships, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, to students pursuing related coursework. Applications are now being accepted online until May 30, 2019. Students do not need to be members of SMRP to qualify.

I’d love your help sharing these scholarship opportunities with College of Engineering students – there’s additional information about scholarships online, or I can send you a flyer to be shared with students. Check out last year’s recipients here!

Seeking Engineering Transfer Students for a Study

TO: All African American engineering transfer students

PARTICIPANTS WANTED FOR A RESEARCH STUDY

Ms. Terry Anderson, Principal Investigator

As a transfer student, what do you say when you're walking down the oval and someone shouts, “Boomer”? Who helps you with understanding credit cards and the implications of a credit score before and after you've amassed debt? Where do you find study groups for academic support? How can you make the best of your College of Engineering experience? I would like to discuss any of these items and perhaps other areas that may be of interest to you during an interview. I need you to help me help others like you by participating in the African American engineering transfer study.

I am recruiting African American engineering transfer students for a study. This study is about the transfer process, challenges you may have encountered, and the things that helped. I am also interested in the College of Engineering’s policies, processes, programs, and resources which you have utilized. I am interested in hearing from people who have transferred into the College of Engineering. All information collected is confidential. You may qualify if:

--You are an African American transfer student
--You are willing to complete a survey and participate in an interview.

You will be offered a $10 gift card to compensate for your time. For more information please email me at OUTransferStudy@gmail.com or call/text me at (405) 403-1525.

The University of Oklahoma is an equal opportunity institution. IRB 689207.
