Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Clemson University

这个奖项，由化学部，支持博士威廉T。彭宁顿和其他成员的化学系在克莱姆森大学继续研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在化学。在2000 - 2002年期间，每年夏天，30名本科生将在克莱姆森化学系的监督和指导下，每人花10周时间进行原创性研究。 一位著名的化学家将被邀请为学生研究研讨会作开幕演讲。该计划的其他活动包括：研究成果展示培训，实验室安全培训，研讨会，实地考察和与研究经验相关的专业主题研讨会。学生将在研究生化学教育和他们的职业生涯的进展将被跟踪后，他们参与该计划的辅导。在选拔过程中，将优先考虑来自克莱姆森周边十个州地区研究密集度较低的机构的学生，并特别强调从目前在拥有化学学位的群体中代表性不足的群体中招收学生。每个暑期项目将在一个研讨会中达到高潮，学生将以海报的形式展示他们的暑期作品。

This award, by the Chemistry Division, supports Dr. William T. Pennington and other members of the Department of Chemistry at Clemson University in continuing a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000 - 2002 30 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each performing original research under the supervision and guidance of Clemson Chemistry faculty each summer. An eminent chemist will be invited to give the opening lecture for the student research symposium. Other activities in the program include: training in presentation of research results, training in lab safety, seminars, field trips and workshops on specialized topics relevant to the research experience. Students will be counseled on post graduate chemical education and their career progress will be tracked after their participation in the program. In the selection process preference will be given to students from less research-intensive institutions in the ten-state region surrounding Clemson and special emphasis will be placed on recruitment of students from groups presently underrepresented among those holding degrees in chemistry. Each summer program will culminate in a symposium in which students will present their summer's work in a poster format.
