Professors Pennington and Garcia and their colleagues in the Chemistry Department of Clemson University host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF Chemistry REU program. This Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) brings ten participants annually from regional Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), primarily undergraduate institutions, and two-year technical colleges. Undergraduates perform research in the areas of advanced materials and chemical biology. In addition, the undergraduates are provided many opportunities for personal and professional growth and development through numerous workshops, seminars, and panel discussions on topics ranging from the fundamentals of instrumentation techniques, research opportunities in the various disciplines of chemistry, career planning and preparation, and the role of women and underrepresented groups in the sciences. The recruitment and selection process targets female and underrepresented minority students who, despite having academic metrics that limit their opportunities in conventional REU programs, feature noncognitive factors (positive self-concept, realistic self-appraisal, long-range goals, system navigation, leadership, and demonstrated community service) that indicate a strong aptitude for research.The REU students perform research in two high impact areas: advanced materials and chemical biology to improve the health and quality of life of our society. Some of the areas of study available to students include examination of carbon nanotube-peptide composite structures, the synthesis and characterization of plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies, the synthesis of proton conducting polymer electrodes with applications to fuel cells, the development of nanocomposites and biocompatible surfaces, the study of quantum dots with applications to sensors and imaging, and the development of peptide-based chiral catalysts. The research training students receive in the lab, the professional development fostered by the workshops, panel discussions, and seminars at Clemson University, and the subsequent presentation of their work at professional conferences contributes to students' ability to successfully pursue a productive career in chemistry and related sciences.

彭宁顿和加西亚教授及其同事在克莱姆森大学化学系的本科生（REU）网站主持研究经验。该站点由国防部与NSF化学REU计划合作支持。今年夏天，本科研究计划（SURP）每年从区域历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS），主要是本科机构和两年的技术学院带来10名参与者。本科生在高级材料和化学生物学领域进行研究。此外，通过众多研讨会，研讨会和小组讨论，有关仪器技术的基础，化学计划和化学计划的研究机会，职业计划和准备的各种研究机会以及妇女的作用以及科学领域的妇女和不足的群体的研究机会，还提供了许多机会来实现个人和专业成长和发展的机会。招聘和选择过程针对女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生，尽管他们拥有的学术指标限制了他们在常规的REU计划中的机会，但具有非认知因素（积极的自我概念，现实，现实的自我承认，远距离目标，长期远程目标，系统导航，领导力和社区服务），表明对REU的研究表现出强大的研究和化学材料，并在两位材料中表现出了良好的研究和化学质量。 Some of the areas of study available to students include examination of carbon nanotube-peptide composite structures, the synthesis and characterization of plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies, the synthesis of proton conducting polymer electrodes with applications to fuel cells, the development of nanocomposites and biocompatible surfaces, the study of quantum dots with applications to sensors and imaging, and the development of peptide-based chiral催化剂。研究培训的学生在实验室中接受的专业发展，由克莱姆森大学的研讨会，小组讨论和研讨会培养，​​随后在专业会议上的工作介绍了他们在化学和相关科学领域成功从事富有成效的职业的能力。
