Emerson Now Accepting Applications for 2024-2025 Discrete Automation Scholarship Two academic merit award winners will receive financial support and grants for collegiate STEM research and educational programs. Emerson is inviting U.S. college students pursuing degrees in science, technology and engineering fields to apply for its 2024-2025 Discrete Automation
Scholarship. Every year the merit-based award recognizes two ambitious problem solvers with a $5,000 scholarship each, eligibility for an Emerson internship and $1,000 research grants to enhance their schools’ engineering programs. Applicants
may apply through July 31,2024. Emerson’s scholarship rewards individuals pursuing STEM professions in fields such as engineering, instrumentation, systems, and automation that
are critical to discrete automation applications. The financial support and recognition provided by the scholarship helps students with great potential emerge as leaders ready to shape their field. "Empowering the next generation of STEM professionals is not just a commitment, but a mission that Emerson holds at its core,” said Andy Duffy, vice
president of sales for Emerson’s discrete automation business and chairman of the board of the Valve Manufacturers Association of America. “Our Discrete Automation Scholarship symbolizes our dedication to nurturing talented innovators who are poised to lead
in technology and engineering fields.” In addition to sponsoring the scholarship program for over a decade, Emerson has also sponsored ground-breaking, student-led projects, and “We Love
STEM” events that have reached thousands of students globally. Only U.S. citizens and legal U.S. residents may apply. Eligible applicants will have completed at least the first year of a bachelor’s degree program
or are enrolled in a graduate program at an accredited U.S. educational institution of higher learning at the time of application. Visit Emerson’s Discrete Automation Scholarship
program details page to apply. |

Sleep and Mental Health Are you getting the recommended 7 – 9 hours of sleep each night? For many members of our engineering community, the answer to that question is a
great big NO. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 50% of college students report daytime sleepiness and 70% report insufficient sleep. That is a problem
as sleep is critical to restoring neural pathways, creating optimal brain health, and promoting mental health and emotional regulation.
Lack of sleep negatively influences mood and emotional reactivity. Sleep deprivation also leads to inattention, irritability, poor impulse control,
impaired memory, impaired concentration, and difficulty with decision making, all good reasons for the members of our engineering community to get some sleep! Ten Tips for Better Sleep
Still struggling to sleep soundly? Try utilizing a
sleep diary to pinpoint the cause of your restless sleep or speak to your physician about your concerns.
