REU: Minority Participation in Keck Geology Consortium Undergraduate Student-Faculty Research Program

凯克地质联合会结合了12所主要本科学院和大学的资源，提供旨在吸引学生和教师参与合作研究的高质量项目。将提供两种类型的项目：为完成大二的学生提供为期五周的暑期项目，为完成大三的学生提供为期一年的项目。所有学生将在凯克地质学研究研讨会上展示他们的工作成果。20名具有少数民族血统的大二学生和6名大三学生以及8名少数民族教师将在全国范围内被招募参加凯克地质联合会项目。参加这个项目的有色人种学生可以在他们的学术生涯早期测试他们对地质学的兴趣，获得就业或进一步学习的优秀证书，并成为学生和教师扩展网络的一部分，这将帮助他们进入专业领域。过去的经验表明，这些学生将成功地继续深造或从事地质学方面的工作。

9531350 Manduca The Keck Geology Consortium combines the resources of twelve predominantly undergraduate colleges and universities to offer high-quality projects designed to engage students and faculty in collaborative research. Two types of projects will be offered: five-week summer projects for students who have completed their sophomore years, and year-long projects for students who have completed their junior years. All students will present the results of their work at the Keck Research Symposium in Geology. Twenty sophomore and six junior students of minority heritage and eight minority faculty will be recruited nationally to participate in the Keck Geology Consortium program. Students of color who participate in this program can test their interest in geology early in their academic careers, obtain excellent credentials for employment or further study, and become part of an extended network of students and faculty that will aid them as they move into the professional world. Past experience indicates that these students will continue successfully into advanced schooling or careers in geology.
