Workshop for Chemistry REU Site Directors

该奖项为伊萨卡学院的亨氏科赫公司组织化学REU现场主任研讨会提供资金。他的助手是Daniel Akins（纽约城市学院），Lon Knight（弗曼大学），Nancy Levinger（科罗拉多州立大学）和Barbara Schowen（堪萨斯大学）。该研讨会将于2001年3月2日至3日在NSF总部举行，所有2001年化学REU现场主任都将参加。参与者将被分为四组，以解决七个一般性问题：招聘、参与者人口统计、对机构的影响、学生的研究经验、评估、沟通和资源。此外，所有参与者将从五个小组中选择一个，每个小组准备一份报告。讨论小组包括：(1)教师的研究经验；(2)外联和招聘；(3)REU和国际站点；(4)研究与其他活动之间的平衡；(5)成果、结果和评估。本次研讨会的结果将产生一份书面文件，该文件将分发给化学REU现场主任，选定的NSF办公室，并将提供给其他感兴趣的各方。

This award provides funding to Ithaca College for Heinz Koch to organize a workshop for Chemistry REU Site Directors. He is being assisted by Daniel Akins (City College of New York), Lon Knight (Furman University), Nancy Levinger (Colorado State University), and Barbara Schowen (University of Kansas). This workshop will be held at NSF headquarters on 2-3 March, 2001 and will involve all 2001 Chemistry REU site directors. The participants will be divided into four groups to address seven general issues: recruiting, participant demographics, impact on the institution, research experience for students, assessment, communications, and resources. In addition, all participants will select one of five panels with each panel preparing a report. The panels are: (1) Research Experience for Teachers, (2) Outreach and Recruitment, (3) REU and International Sites, (4) Balance between Research and Other Activities, and (5) Outcomes, Results and Assessments. A written document will be produced as an result of this workshop which will be distributed to Chemistry REU site directors, selected NSF offices, and will be available for other interested parties.
