Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Kent State University

这一化学系奖项支持肯特州立大学的本科生新研究体验(REU)网站。罗伯特·特维格是该网站的项目总监，阿恩·格里克是联合项目总监。11名教职员工将担任REU的学生导师。在颁奖期间(2001-2003)，每年暑假将有十名学生参加为期十周的计划。该计划的重点将是液晶--合成和自然系统。它将具有明显的跨学科特征，与生物学、生物化学、材料科学和物理有很强的联系。招生工作将针对那些缺乏研究机会的俄亥俄州较小本科生机构的学生，以及代表少数族裔学生的国家机构。肯特州立大学将不招收任何学生。所有参与者将在暑期结束时通过海报展示他们的研究成果。其中几名学生将被选为在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.
