This Division of Chemistry award supports the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Wellesley College for the summers of 2007-2009. Program director Christopher Arumainayagam will be assisted by co-PI David Haines in the ten-week program. Ten students will do research with a diverse group of faculty in the chemistry, physics, and geosciences departments on an array of chemistry-focused projects in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. Students impacted include rising sophomores and juniors, students from underrepresented groups, and students from institutions with limited research opportunities. In addition, two local high school seniors will be invited to do part-time research during the summer. All REU students will participate in a weekly seminar program, panels on career opportunities and graduate schools, and workshops in public speaking, scientific writing, and ethics. Speakers and panelists will draw heavily from Wellesley alumnae to provide accessible and easily identifiable role models of successful scientists and citizens. Each student will give two public presentations of her research during the summer, the first as an oral presentation of work in progress, and the second as a poster in an all-college poster session. Students also will be encouraged to present their research at national and regional conferences.

该化学奖裁决支持了韦尔斯利学院的本科生（REU）网站的续签，2007- 2007年的夏季。计划主任克里斯托弗·阿鲁玛纳亚纳（Christopher Arumainayagam）将在十周计划中由副驾驶大卫·海恩斯（David Haines）协助。 十名学生将在化学，物理和地球科学系的各种各样的教职员工中进行研究，以在合作和多学科环境中以化学为中心的项目进行研究。 受影响的学生包括大二学生和大三学生，来自代表性不足的团体的学生以及来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。 此外，将邀请两名当地高中生在夏季进行兼职研究。 所有REU学生将参加每周一次的研讨会计划，职业机会和研究生院的小组，以及公开演讲，科学写作和道德的讲习班。 演讲者和小组成员将大力从韦尔斯利校友那里汲取灵感，以提供成功的科学家和公民的可及且易于识别的榜样。 每个学生将在夏季进行两次公开介绍她的研究，这是第一次作为正在进行的作品的口头介绍，第二个是全校海报中的海报。还将鼓励学生在国家和地区会议上介绍他们的研究。
