REU - Boston College.pdf

I am writing to let you know of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in the Department of Physics at Boston College. We are starting this summer with six visiting students plus two of our own majors who will serve as peer guides. Attached please find a poster (a pdf file printable on a 8.5” x 11” sheet) describing our program—eligibility criteria, benefits, and application procedure. We would be grateful if you could make this poster available to your undergraduates, by posting it somewhere in your department, and also by forwarding it to students you know who may be interested in this research opportunity.

The Departments of Bio-Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago are pleased to announce their Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (REU) for 2008 entitled "Novel Advanced Materials and Processing with Applications in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering" and funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense.

In the attached flyer you will find the program overview, sample projects, application requirements and further important information.

We would appreciate if you circulate and forward the attached flyer to faculty and undergraduate students in your department.

For over 25 years, JHU's CTY has been offering intensive course work to academically talented pre-collegiate students. Students who attend are between 8 and 16 years old, and take rigorous courses in mathematics, science, computer science, humanities, and writing.

We are currently looking for outstanding candidates in physics and engineering to fill instructor and teaching assistant positions at many of our summer sites. Currently we have 30 different summer sites on the east and west coast of the United States, as well as four international locations. At all of our residential sites, in addition to your salary, room and board are provided.

Since 1998, UW-Madison has been participating in MentorNet, an electronic
mentoring program that pairs primarily women and underrepresented minority
undergraduate and graduate students, and postdocs (all referred to as
“protégés”) with mentors from industry and academia. MentorNet provides
protégés and mentors with training, coaching and support for an 8-month
mentoring period. Since its founding in 1997, MentorNet has matched nearly
17,000 protégés and mentors.

As a UW-Madison student studying science, math or engineering, you can get
“real world” information, encouragement, and advice from professionals in
your field through MentorNet. Just sign up for MentorNet at:
