About the events

LSMRCE is pleased to partner with Eaton Corporation, a leader in power management technologies, to host several career development events for undergraduate and graduate STEM students across the country.

Each event will be unique and feature the different Eaton facilities, such as R&D laboratories and innovation centers. The event agendas have been developed in collaboration with the local LSAMP alliance to meet the professionalization needs of their scholars. This event is organized and hosted by the Eaton iConnect employee group.

In February 2020, the National Science Foundation awarded the Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence (LSMRCE) a $235 thousand supplemental grant to support the non-academic professionalization of under-represented minority students majoring in STEM. In partnership with Eaton Corporation and the iCONNECT Eaton affinity groups, LSMRCE will use the supplemental grant to organize six Eaton Experience events at Eaton Innovation Centers across the country for the students from the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and LSMRCE Partner Schools.

Contact us for more about this funding can be found in the press release.
