This project will provide a summer's research experience for eight undergraduate geology majors. Of the participants, two to four of the students and one to three of the faculty involved, will be from schools other than Furman. These outside participants will be drawn from the geology programs of schools that belong to two consortia of which Furman is a member. These schools include Millsaps College, Centenary College, The University of the South, The College of Wooster, Oberlin College, Denison University, and Ohio Wesleyan University. Faculty involved will work with one or two students to direct them in a 10-week research effort. As the summer progresses, the student will be encouraged to become increasingly more independent. The goal of each effort will be to produce valid verifiable results that will contribute to the body of knowledge in geology and that can be presented to the scientific community in the form of a presented paper or journal article. The overall goal of the program will be educating the student to understand the process of research and instilling in him an excitement about his field that will encourage him to continue on to graduate school.

该项目将为八个地质学专业本科生提供暑期研究经验。 在参与者中，两到四名学生和一到三名教职人员将来自弗曼以外的学校。 这些外部参与者将从属于两个财团的学校的地质学项目中选拔，弗曼是这两个财团的成员。 这些学校包括米尔萨普斯学院、森特纳里学院、南方大学、伍斯特学院、欧柏林学院、丹尼森大学和俄亥俄卫斯理大学。 相关教师将与一到两名学生合作，指导他们进行为期 10 周的研究工作。 随着夏季的进展，学生将被鼓励变得越来越独立。 每项努力的目标都是产生有效的可验证结果，这些结果将有助于地质学知识体系，并可以以论文或期刊文章的形式呈现给科学界。 该计划的总体目标是教育学生了解研究过程，并向他灌输对自己领域的兴奋感，从而鼓励他继续攻读研究生。
