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.

康涅狄格大学物理系的暑期本科生研究项目由国家科学基金会本科生研究体验(REU)站点奖支持，旨在让一群有才华的本科生接触到令人兴奋的研究环境(包括原子、分子和光学物理、凝聚态物理、核物理和粒子理论)，并在每周的研讨会上向他们介绍物理学的前沿和物理学的职业。课程内容包括系内社交聚会、展示研究成果的最后宣传会，以及指派一名研究生导师和一名教职员顾问，以加强参加者与系内其他成员的社区感。我们的计划在全国范围内吸引优秀的学生，包括才华横溢的女性和代表不足的本科生和其他少数族裔本科生，以及来自主要是本科院校的学生，他们接触综合研究环境的机会较少。该计划鼓励这些参与者追求物理学的职业生涯。
