REU: Research Experience for Undergraduates at the Center for Great Lakes Studies

该奖项为威斯康星大学密尔沃基大湖研究中心(CGLS)的本科生研究体验(REU)项目提供了新的资金。REU网站为国家招收的学生在一个有凝聚力的多学科环境中提供环境水生科学研究培训。该计划将在为期十周的暑期研究计划中支持9名学生/暑期。对湖泊和海洋环境的化学、地质学和生物学感兴趣的学生将与指导活跃的研究实验室的导师配对。他们一起在一个活跃的跨学科研究项目中开发一个与导师的兴趣和能力相适应的学习项目。将举办有关研究生院和就业机会、写作和成果的公开展示以及相关主题的讲习班。在为期10周的课程结束时，每个学生将向公众展示一张海报和描述他们工作的口头演讲。他们将以典型期刊文章的形式写一篇详细的论文。还将鼓励学生在专业会议上展示他们的工作。

This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Center For Great Lakes Studies (CGLS). The REU site provides environmental aquatic science research training for nationally-recruited students in a cohesive, multidisciplinary environment. The program will support nine students/summer during a ten week summer research program. Students interested in chemistry, geology, and biology of lake and ocean settings are paired with mentors supervising active research laboratories. Together they develop a program of study compatible with the advisor's interests and capabilities within one of the active interdisciplinary research programs. Workshops on graduate school and career opportunities, writing and public presentation of results, and related topics will be offered. At the close of the 10-week session, each of the students will present a poster and oral talk describing their work to a public audience. They will write a detailed paper in the format of a typical journal article. Students will also be encouraged to present their work at professional conferences.
