3. CIE Fall Forum
The CIE Fall Forum is a great opportunity for students to meet cal poly alumni who are CEOs, visionaries, and founders of their own companies while also learning in depth about a topic. This year we will be focused on Corporate Social Responsibility which is essentially how to build a strong company mission that goes beyond making a successful company financially, but environmentally and socially as well. Not only that but we hear the Elevator Pitch Competition finalists pitch their ideas live during this forum. It is definitely not something to miss!

 6. Summer programs with  Oak Ridge Associated Universities

There are two summer programs with  Oak Ridge Associated Universities currently accepting applicants for the 2018 summer period.  The U.S. Army Research Lab Summer Journeyman Fellowship Program and the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research Summer Internship Program. These are amazing opportunities for your students to expand their research experience within their area of study!
In addition these summer opportunities, we have an extensive amount of available research opportunities with over 70 Department of Defense programs in all areas of STEM.  I hope that you will encourage your students to check out the available opportunities administered by the ORAU Maryland Office.  The ORAU Maryland Office administers the Army Research Lab Research Associateship Program (formerly the ARL Postdoctoral Program) and all ORISE Department of Defense opportunities.  Aside from the "summer" opportunities, most post-graduate research appointments are scheduled to be a twelve month appointments; the renewal or continuation of the research appointment is contingent upon facility approval and upon the continued availability of funds.  Renewals are offered up to one year at a time, for a total of up to five years of research participation. Most of the research opportunities will required U.S. Citizenship to access the military installations.  http://www.orau.org/maryland/
 The U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL) Research Associateship Program (RAP) has Summer Journeyman Fellowships available for undergraduate-PhD students.  
Over the 2018 summer, students can participate in research at one of the Army Research Lab facilities in Aberdeen, MD, Adelphi, MD, or White Sands, NM in one of five research areas:
