Louisiana Young Scholars in Marine Science

路易斯安那大学海洋联盟（LUMCON）将为10名进入12年级的学生启动为期六周的海洋科学通勤和住宿青年学者项目。在暑期活动的前两周，参加者将每天接受海洋科学讲座，并进行动手实验或实地考察。讲座、实验室和实地考察将由LUMCON教师和来自路易斯安那州拥有海洋科学项目的大学的特邀教师进行。在第三周，所有的学生将参加为期三天/两晚的巡航，乘坐R/V鹈鹕到墨西哥湾的密西西比三角洲地区。在这个为期三周的熟悉体验结束时，每个学生将与一位导师进行不同长度和类型的研究体验，该体验将在夏季晚些时候进行。目的是为参与者提供一个更深入地参与积极研究项目的机会，而不是给学生独立的项目。

The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) will initiate a six-week, commuter and residential Young Scholars project in the Marine Sciences for 10 students entering grade 12. During the first 2 weeks of the summer activity, participants will be provided with a daily lecture on Marine Science and a hands-on laboratory or field trip. Lectures, labs and field trips will be conducted by LUMCON faculty and invited faculty from Louisiana universities having marine science programs. During Week 3, all students will participate in a three-day/two-night cruise aboard the R/V Pelican to the Mississippi delta region of the Gulf of Mexico. At the end of this three-week familiarization experience, each student will be matched with a mentor for a research experience of variable length and type, to take place sometime later in the summer. The objective is to provide participants an opportunity for deeper involvement in an active research program -- not to give the students independent projects.
