The Emerging Scholars Program-REU will build on the 30-year record of success of Emerging Scholars Programs (ESPs), helping underrepresented freshmen and sophomores who graduate from those programs to prepare for the mathematics major, for future more advanced REU experiences, and for graduate school. St. Mary's College of Maryland boasts a thriving mathematics program and years of success in working with underrepresented groups early in their careers making it an ideal location to host twelve students for this six-week, summer REU. Applications for the program will be solicited from more than 30 ESPs around the country, specifically targeting underrepresented minority students who have excelled in the first two semesters of Calculus. Participants will attend morning seminars designed to prepare students for the rigors of proof-based mathematics courses, and will investigate research questions in Game Theory, Knot Theory, and Graph Theory during the afternoon. Additional social and academic activities will help prepare students for futures in mathematics and mathematics-intensive careers. The four goals of the program are to help these students 1) enroll in and succeed in proof-based math classes; 2) declare and succeed in math majors or minors; 3) apply for and attend REUs for more advanced students; and 4) attend graduate school in a math or a math-related field.

新兴学者计划-REU将建立在新兴学者计划（ESP）成功的30年记录的基础上，帮助那些从这些计划毕业的代表性不足的新生和学生为数学专业做好准备，为未来更先进的REU经验，并为研究生院。马里兰州的玛丽学院拥有一个蓬勃发展的数学课程和多年的成功，在他们的职业生涯早期与代表性不足的群体，使其成为一个理想的位置，以主机十二名学生为这六个星期，夏季REU。该计划的申请将从全国各地的30多个ESP征求，特别针对在微积分的前两个学期表现出色的代表性不足的少数民族学生。参与者将参加上午的研讨会，旨在为学生准备证明为基础的数学课程的严格性，并将在下午调查博弈论，结理论和图论的研究问题。额外的社交和学术活动将有助于学生为未来的数学和数学密集型职业做好准备。该计划的四个目标是帮助这些学生1）报名参加并在基于证明的数学课程中取得成功; 2）申报并在数学专业或未成年人中取得成功; 3）申请并参加雷乌斯更先进的学生;以及4）参加数学或数学相关领域的研究生院。
