A growing list of summer research experiences

Not surprisingly, I get lots of emails looking for students that want to GET PAID to do research over the summer.  It is often difficult to know how to get that information out to the right students.  So, I thought why not just make a list here.  So without further ado, in no particular order:

UNC-Greensboro--Interdisciplinary research in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology
http://www.uncg.edu/our/idquantreu.html

Rutgers (State Univ. of NJ)--Biological and physical sciences, behavior science, mathematics and engineering http://rise.rutgers.edu

Oak Ridge National Labs  http://www.orau.org/ornl/faculty/hbcu-mei-summer-program.htm

Virginia Tech Program in Ghana--Conservation Biology  http://www.undergraduate.vt.edu/GhanaREU/

Georgetown University--Chemistry http://chemistryreu.georgetown.edu/

NASA--science and engineering  http://intern.nasa.gov>http://intern.nasa.gov

Clark Univeristy HERO (Human-Environmet Regional Observatory)--GIS, field biology, social science
http://hero.clarku.edu

Southern Illinois Carbondale--Chemistry and Physics

That is all for now.  Look back for more posts as the announcements come in....

Looking for Summer Research Experiences?

The Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, Career & Leadership Development and the Director of Undergraduate Research are teaming up to offer an informal workshop designed to help you find a great summer research experience either here at Sewanee or at schools across the country.

The workshop will be Tuesday, February 1 from 5:30 to 7:00pm in Woods 216.

If you are interested in coming, please send Elizabeth Henry a note at henryem0 so we know how much pizza to order from Crust.

Did I mention that we were having Crust pizza too?

See you there!

Sewanee Office of Undergraduate Research

Scholarship Sewanee is an annual conference that highlights the research projects of Sewanee students.
Undergraduate research is one of the most important pedagogical advances in the last decade. Like other forms of experiential learning, UR gets students involved with the subject matter at a deeper level--as active learners rather than passive recipients of material or rote learners of procedures. This blog celebrates undergraduate research at Sewanee.
