The NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates site at Ursinus College (Collegeville, PA) offers paid summer research opportunities in environmental science in the areas of microbiology, climate change, ecology of mammals, and watershed management. Interested students, particularly minority students and students with limited research opportunities at their home institutions, are invited to apply. All students receive a stipend, housing, research supply money, and funds to travel to and from the lab. REU students will become part of a thriving multidisciplinary summer research community. The 10-week program begins in mid-May with a mini-course that gives all students an introduction to environmental science including research methods and ethics. Students design and carry out research projects tailored to add to existing knowledge in environmental science and to prepare them for careers in this discipline. Students work closely with a professor and will join Ursinus College's summer undergraduate research community. The community is bound together by lunch seminars, celebration of student achievement through the end-of-the summer research symposium, and recreational activities. Students write a scientific research paper, and present their research at an on-campus symposium. Students acquire skills that should help them enter research careers or graduate school. Ursinus College is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, 30 miles from Philadelphia. Summer research students have the opportunity to visit the Liberty Bell, Valley Forge National Park and other educational attractions.

在Ursinus College（科尔奇维尔，PA）的NSF本科生研究经验网站提供了在微生物学，气候变化，哺乳动物生态学和流域管理领域的环境科学的带薪暑期研究机会。 有兴趣的学生，特别是少数民族学生和学生在他们的家乡机构有限的研究机会，被邀请申请。 所有的学生都会得到助学金，住房，研究供应资金，以及往返实验室的资金。 REU学生将成为一个蓬勃发展的多学科夏季研究社区的一部分。 为期10周的课程于5月中旬开始，其中包括一门迷你课程，为所有学生介绍环境科学，包括研究方法和道德。 学生设计和开展研究项目，以增加现有的环境科学知识，并为他们在这一学科的职业生涯做好准备。 学生与教授密切合作，并将加入乌尔西诺学院的夏季本科研究社区。 该社区通过午餐研讨会，通过夏季研究研讨会结束的学生成就庆祝活动和娱乐活动联系在一起。学生写一篇科学研究论文，并在校园研讨会上展示他们的研究。 学生获得的技能，应该帮助他们进入研究生涯或研究生院。 Ursinus College位于宾夕法尼亚州东南部，距离费城30英里。 暑期研究生有机会参观自由钟，福吉谷谷国家公园和其他教育景点。 更多信息可在http：//academic.ursin.edu/reu，或联系博士凯特戈达德在610-489-4111 x2327或[e-mail]。
