Symposium: August 2-4, 2023
Applications and transcripts were due February 1, 2023, and selection of the summer students proceeds with Center faculty through April. With direction from a faculty advisor, and in most cases, a postdoctoral fellow or graduate student, the REU student defines and sets up a program in an REU Research Area necessary to accomplish the ten-week summer project. A final presentation is given by each student at the "end-of-summer" seminar attended by Center faculty, student mentors, and fellow REU students.
The summer 2023 REU Program was 10 weeks in duration from Monday, June 5 (move in day) to Saturday, August 12, 2023 (move out day).
