        <![CDATA[<p>The Collegiate Inventors Competition promotes exploration in invention, science, engineering, technology, and other creative endeavors. One undergraduate and one graduate winner or team each receives $15,000. In addition, one Grand Prize winner or team will receive $25,000. Academic advisors of each winning team also receive a cash award, and finalists in the competition receive an all-expenses paid trip to present their work to a panel of expert judges.<br />
 <br />
<strong>The application deadline is May 16, 2008</strong>. More information on the competition is below.<br />
 <br />
Students who are interested in preparing an application must first contact the Office for Technology Commercialization (OTC) for assistance with the patent process. The OTC will be able to help with inventions that are the result of University research, for which the rights would be owned by the University.  E-mail <a href="mailto:umotc@umn.edu">umotc@umn.edu</a> or call 612.624.0550.<br />
 <br />
More information on the competition:<br />
 <br />
Web site: <a href="http://invent.org/collegiate/index.html">http://invent.org/collegiate/index.html</a></p>

<p>The Collegiate Inventors Competition has rewarded and encouraged hundreds of students to share their inventive ideas with the world. Entries are judged on the originality and inventiveness of the new idea, process, or technology. The entry must be complete, workable, and well articulated. Entries are also judged on their potential value to society (socially, environmentally, and economically), and on the scope of use.<br />
 <br />
The entry must be the original idea and work product of the student/advisor team, and must not have been <strong>(1)</strong> made available to the public as a commercial product or process or <strong>(2)</strong> patented or published more than 1 year prior to the date of submission to the competition.<br />
 <br />
The invention, a reduced-to-practice idea or workable model, must be the work of a student or team of students with his or her university advisor. If it is a machine, it must be operable. If it is a chemical, it must be complete with evidence of successful application of the idea. If it is a new plant, color photographs or slides must be included in the submission. If a new or original ornamental design for an article of manufacture is submitted, the entire design must be included in the application. In addition, the invention should be reproducible.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Applications now being accepted for Fall 2008 enrollment in the Health Journalism program</strong><br />
<strong>Seniors:</strong> considering graduate school? Interested in health journalism or communication? Whether you want to report on health for the media, work in communications for a health care organization or promote health to the public, our master’s program can help you launch your career. If you’re interested in health journalism, you’ll learn to evaluate claims from health, medical and scientific sources. If you’re interested in health communication, you’ll learn the fundamentals of writing about health topics for different audiences in different formats, as well as health campaign development. In either specialization, you’ll develop multimedia skills and advanced computer-assisted research and reporting skills. And if you want to gain hands-on experience, you’ll also have practicum opportunities to work in local news organizations or in communications roles with health care organizations. For more program details and information on applying, contact Director of Graduate Studies Gary Schwitzer (<a href="mailto:schwitz@umn.edu">schwitz@umn.edu</a>) or Program Coordinator Leyla Kokmen (<a href="mailto:lkokmen@umn.edu">lkokmen@umn.edu</a>).</p>

<p>*The graduate program in Health Journalism has proposed a name change from the Master of Arts in Health Journalism to the Master of Arts in Health Journalism and Communication, effective for fall 2008. The name change and some curriculum revisions are currently under review by The Graduate School. The review of these changes will be completed around May 1, and a recommendation will be made to the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents will consider the proposed changes in July. Please note that you must apply to the Health Journalism program at this time for entry in fall 2008. If the Board of Regents does not approve the name change to Health Journalism and Communication and the curriculum revisions, you will be given the opportunity to request a refund of your application for admission fee. For information about the proposed curriculum changes please visit our Web site.</p>
