REU Site in Physics at the University of Connecticut

康涅狄格大学物理系的夏季本科生研究计划由美国国家科学基金会本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖支持，旨在将多样化的有才华的本科生群体暴露在令人兴奋的研究环境中（包括原子、分子与光学物理，凝聚态物理，核物理学和粒子理论），并告知他们在每周研讨会的前沿物理学和物理学的职业生涯。 部门的社交聚会，最后的海报会议的研究成果，并分配一个研究生导师以及教师顾问包括提高参与者的社区意识与部门的其他成员。 我们的计划吸引了全国范围内的优秀学生，包括有才华的女性和代表性不足和其他少数民族的本科生，以及来自主要本科院校的学生，他们很少有机会获得全面的研究环境。 该计划鼓励这些参与者追求物理学事业。

The summer undergraduate research program in the Department of Physics at the University of Connecticut, supported by a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Award, is intended to expose a diverse group of talented undergraduates to an exciting research environment (including Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear Physics and Particle Theory) and to inform them in weekly seminars about the frontiers of physics and about careers in physics. Departmental social gatherings, a final poster session for presentation of research results, and assignment of a graduate student mentor as well as a faculty advisor are included to enhance the participants' sense of community with the other members of the department. Our program attracts outstanding students on a nationwide basis, including talented women and both under-represented and other minority undergraduates, as well as students from primarily undergraduate institutions with less access to a comprehensive research environment. The program encourages these participants to pursue careers in physics.
