Description: 

Many of our students are active in the Tri-Institutional Minority Society (TIMS), a scientific society that welcomes all students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members, lab technicians, and other members of the Weill Cornell, Rockefeller and Memorial Sloan Kettering communities. The TIMS mission is to build community and provide support to traditionally underrepresented minorities in science. The inaugural TIMS reception was attended by more than 80 students and postdocs in 2014, with a fantastic follow-up Fall reception this past year. With the goal to increase minority faculty interaction with students, TIMS also sponsors luncheons with faculty and guest speakers known as the “Mentorship Meals” series. It has so far included, faculty members Dr. Joseph Osborne MD PhD, a Radiology & Nuclear Medicine Physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Dr. Andrea Morris PhD, Director of Career Resources & Professional Development at Rockefeller University, Dr. Catherine Hartley PhD, Assistant Professor at the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology, and Dr. Linnie Golightly MD, Associate Professor of Medicine in Microbiology and Immunology at WCMC and Associate Attending Physician at NYP Hospital.
