On average, people who negotiate earn an average of $600,000 more over their entire careers than their colleagues who do not. Emily Easton and Martin Scheeler of the University of Chicago will cover the basics of negotiations including how to prepare, how to approach the conversation, and how to determine what will be most valuable to you as a professional, no matter what field you are in. It also will include additional information on how to approach academic and non-academic negotiations, with a focus on scientific careers. <http://lsmce.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38&id=2f48fc2174&e=1ab412e47f>[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38/images/6b780d49-6a6f-43f4-878b-ebd5c6cf62f5.png]<http://lsmce.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38&id=2f48fc2174&e=1ab412e47f><http://lsmce.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38&id=2f48fc2174&e=1ab412e47f> LIVE: LSMCE Broadening Participation Digital Library ________________________________ LSMCE is excited to announce the LSMCE Digital Library is now live and available online: http://library.lsmce.org<http://lsmce.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38&id=13f8a93e7d&e=1ab412e47f> The library contains more than 800 LSAMP publications from the past 25 years of ground-breaking program development and outcomes.

This program is different than typical Master’s programs as students will be fully funded and prepared for entry into the UPenn Math PhD program. The Bridge to PhD program seeks students with the persistence and passion to pursue the training they need to be ready for a PhD in mathematics. *Bridge to PhD* will provide students with a nurturing atmosphere, close mentoring, and opportunities to perform high-level mathematics research. For more details, see http://bridge.math.upenn.edu<http://lsmce.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0c1b28592babd2b47cf563c38&id=a394727388&e=1ab412e47f>. Please feel free to contact the program coordinators, as they would be happy to discuss *Bridge to PhD* with you and with any of your students. CONGRATULATIONS NEW LSAMP AWARDEES!
