Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal
or environmental science? I invite you to check out the Maryland Sea
Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to
the Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a
scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental
Science. We select undergrads in many disciplines, including
engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and
marine and environmental science.
In particular, we encourage students from colleges and universities
where access to marine science and to research opportunities is limited
and who are from groups traditionally underrepresented in science,
technology, engineering and math. We believe bringing together students
from many disciplines, backgrounds and parts of the country makes for a
more interesting and educational summer experience.
We are accepting applications through February 15. Please visit our website to find out more (www.mdsg.umd.edu/reu) or drop me a note at reu@mdsg.umd.edu.
Yours,
Mike Allen
