My name is Colman Freel; I represent the Harvard University Department of the History of Science journal, Synthesis. We are the nation’s only peer-reviewed undergraduate history of science journal.
This semester, we have started a blog series to offer more students an opportunity to showcase their outstanding research in the history of science. In an effort to include work from students at a range of universities, we are reaching out to history and STEM departments to share submission information. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share our flyer, submission form, and contact information (below) in any newsletters or announcements your department distributes.
If you have any questions about the program, you can send them to harvardepisummer@hsph.harvard.edu We are looking forward to reviewing your application!

I am Rick Bryant, Executive Director of the Master of Science in Computational Finance (MSCF) program at Carnegie Mellon University. Undergraduate STEM majors comprise the majority of our students, but many were not initially aware of Quantitative Finance as a career option.
For your students who are considering a master’s degree, they may be interested in this dynamic career path utilizing mathematics/statistics, computational skills and data analytics within the financial services industry.
We have a wealth of quantitative finance career resources, including industry briefs, job summaries, employment statistics and salary data that can validate this master’s degree option as not only a great career choice, but a strong return-on-investment as well.
I would appreciate your assistance by forwarding this email to your students who can sign up for these resources and learn more about quantitative finance.
Thank you for your time, attention and support.
Warm Regards,
Rick Bryant Executive Director, MSCF

UCLA Relay For Life 2021: In The Clouds will take place virtually this year in May and now is the perfect time for new participants to register! In honor of World Cancer Day on February 4th, we will be having a FLASH DISCOUNT from February 4th to February 6th. For those 3 days only, the registration fee (donation) will drop from $15 to $12 only with promo code CLOUDS when you register at uclarelay.org.
Relay for Life is the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that brings our community together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help ACS make a global impact on cancer. All of the money that is raised at Relay supports the American Cancer Society’s mission of eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
We are always happy to see our Relay family grow and encourage you to spread the word about this flash registration discount with acquaintances, friends, and family to ensure they are able to enjoy our virtual Relay this year!
If you’re interested in what our virtual Relay For Life 2021 will look like, you can view last year’s livestream Relay at the “Virtual Relay” tab on our website relayatucla.org to understand the excitement to come this year!

The SKY Happiness Workshop has been one of the best experiences and most precious gifts of my life. The techniques I learned in the class continually allow me to be the best that I can be as a student, a leader, and a person. They have taught me to manage my stress and emotions, increase focus and concentration to perform better academically and take the most I can from Stanford, and have an overall sense of well-being, happiness, and clarity in all aspects of my life. – Jackie, Stanford University
The SKY Happiness Retreat is a wonderful experience that will give you the tools needed to de-stress and maintain an overall peaceful and happy life, as well as help you become more successful with concentration, energy and focus honed through the techniques taught. – Silenze, Purdue University
For the first time, I have control over the relentless racing of my mind. – Elan, Brown University I felt surprised by how easy it was to make new connections with people. I felt like we established a deep bond and that encourages me to go out and do that with other people too.– Grace, UCLA
The SKY Happiness Retreat is a worthwhile investment in yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know others in unexpected ways during this short time. - Susan Prieto-Welch, Purdue University, Director of Counseling Services
The SKY Happiness Retreat will revolutionize your daily life. As a busy student who also works and feels that my plate is sometimes too full, I cannot recommend making time for this course highly enough. - Bryn, USM Law
