REU: Summer Undergraduate Chemistry Research at James Madison University: A Regional Site That Includes Deaf Participants

化学部奖支持詹姆斯麦迪逊大学2004-2006年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 丹尼尔M.唐尼是现场主管，吉娜M.麦克唐纳是合作伙伴。 该网站每年夏天将为八名本科生、两名高中教师、两名高中生和一名非JMU教师导师提供为期10周的研究经验。 该REU-RET计划为听力残疾学生的参与提供特殊机会、支持人员和基础设施。 它将针对大西洋中部和谢南多厄地区较小学校的学生、妇女和其他历史上代表性不足的群体。 研究机会将在各种化学子学科，包括分析，生物化学，合成，材料科学，光谱学和其他专业。 每周会议将涵盖仪器培训，安全，技术写作，图书馆技能和研究研讨会从REU学生和外部访问者。 每个学生将在夏季结束时口头或在正式的海报会议上展示他/她的作品。 评估将通过调查和教师评估进行。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at James Madison University for the summers of 2004-2006. Daniel M. Downey is the site director and Gina M. MacDonald is the co-PI. This site will provide research experiences for eight undergraduate students, two high school teachers, two high school students and one non-JMU faculty mentor for 10 weeks each summer. This REU-RET program provides special opportunties, supporting personnel and infrastructure for participation by hearing disabled students. It will target recruitment of students from smaller schools in the mid-Atlantic and Shenandoah region, women and other historically under-represented groups. Research opportunities will be available in a variety of chemistry sub-disciplines including analytical, biochemistry, synthesis, materials science, spectroscopy and other specialities. Weekly meetings will cover instrument training, safety, technical writing, library skills and research seminars from REU students and outside visitors. Each student will present orally or in a formal poster session his/her work at the end of the summer. Assessment will be carried out with surveys and faculty evaluation.
