Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Kent State University

该化学部奖支持在肯特州立大学为本科生（REU）网站的新的研究经验。 Robert Twieg是该网站的项目总监;阿恩Gericke是联合项目总监。11名教师将担任REU学生导师。 在奖励期间（2001-2003年），每年夏天10名学生将参加为期10周的计划。该计划的重点将是液晶-合成和天然系统。它将具有鲜明的跨学科特征，与生物学，生物化学，材料科学和物理学有着密切的联系。 招聘工作将针对那些缺乏研究机会的较小俄亥俄州本科院校的学生，以及代表少数民族学生的国家机构。 不会从肯特州立大学招收学生。 所有参与者将在夏季结束时通过海报展示展示他们的研究。 一些学生将被选中在ACS会议上展示他们的工作。

This Chemistry Division award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Kent State University. Robert Twieg is the site's Program Director; Arne Gericke is the Co-Program Director. Eleven faculty will serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer ten students will participate in a ten-week program. The focus of the program will be on liquid crystals - synthetic and natural systems. It will have a distinct interdisciplinary characteristic with strong connections to biology, biochemistry, materials science, and physics. Recruitment efforts will target students from those smaller Ohio undergraduate institutions that lack research opportunities, and national institutions that represent minority students. No students will be recruited from Kent State University. All participants will present their research at the end of the summer via a poster presentation. Several of the students will be selected to present their work at an ACS meeting.
