Increasing the Opportunities for Women in Summer Physics Research

9322304 Ellis这项资助将支持每年6至8名学生的本科暑期体验。一半的学生将是专门从已经实施的12所大学交换项目中招募的女性，另一半将是卫斯理大学物理学专业的学生。物理系将利用这次增加的暑期物理研究机会，通过12所学院交换计划，吸引更多的女性进入物理领域，以显著增加潜在女性的数量。这种组合还有一个额外的好处，即在一个夏天消除了真正研究参与的时间障碍。该研究将在主办机构（卫斯理大学）进行一到两个学期的学术研究，参与研究的学生将在夏季开始时适应物理系的环境。这将整合暑期研究作为学生更大的物理经验的一部分，同时使其更富有成效的主持人研究员。＊＊＊

9322304 Ellis This grant will support the undergraduate summer experience of six to eight students each year. Half of the students will be women specifically recruited from the Twelve College Exchange Program already in place, and the other half will be Wesleyan physics students. The Physics Department will use this added opportunity for physics summer research to bring more women into physics by using the Twelve College Exchange Program to significantly increase the pool of prospective women. This combination has the added benefit of eliminating the time obstacle to real research involvement during only one summer. The research will follow a semester or two of academic study at the host institution (Wesleyan) and the participating students will have already acclimated themselves to the environment within the Physics Department by the beginning of the summer. This will integrate the summer research as part of a larger physics experience for the student and at the same time make it more productive for the host researcher. ***
