Abstract: The Center for High-Pressure Research (CHiPR) at SUNY Stony Brook will establish a Summer program to give undergraduates the opportunity to participate in the excitement of a premier science laboratory. The goal is to recruit students from the physical sciences and stimulate them to pursue a research career in the Earth Sciences. Students will work with faculty of the Mineral Physics Institute (MPI) on projects that probe the physical and chemical properties of materials, with a particular emphasis on use of high pressure. Working closely with members of the MPI, students will pursue their own projects and discuss their progress during weekly seminars. During the program, students will visit other laboratories and institutions affiliated with the MPI. CHiPR has established a good record of recruiting and retaining minority students by relying on personal contacts, especially with faculty at historically minority colleges and universities. The best example of this is recruiting by a black faculty member at an historically black university who received his Ph.D. through the MPI and continues to work there during the summers. The close mentoring he can offer his students is a key to their success.

摘要：纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克的高压研究中心（CHiPR）将建立一个暑期项目，让本科生有机会参与一流科学实验室的兴奋。 目标是招收物理科学专业的学生，并鼓励他们从事地球科学的研究事业。 学生将与矿物物理研究所（MPI）的教师合作，研究材料的物理和化学性质，特别强调高压的使用。 与MPI的成员密切合作，学生将追求自己的项目，并在每周的研讨会上讨论他们的进展。 在该计划期间，学生将访问其他实验室和机构附属于MPI。 CHiPR依靠个人联系，特别是与历史上少数民族学院和大学的教师联系，在招募和留住少数民族学生方面建立了良好的记录。 这方面最好的例子是一所历史悠久的黑人大学的一名黑人教员的招聘，他获得了博士学位。通过MPI，并继续在那里工作，在夏季。 他能为学生提供的密切指导是他们成功的关键。
