Increasing the Opportunities for Women in Summer Physics Research

小行星9322304 这笔赠款将支持每年6至8名学生的本科夏季经验。 一半的学生将是专门从已经到位的十二所大学交换计划招募的女性，另一半将是卫斯理大学物理系的学生。 物理系将利用这一额外的物理夏季研究机会，通过十二所学院交流计划显着增加潜在女性的数量，吸引更多女性进入物理学领域。 这种结合有额外的好处，消除了时间障碍，真实的研究参与只有一个夏天。 该研究将遵循一个学期或两个学术研究在主办机构（卫斯理）和参与的学生将已经适应了物理系内的环境由夏季开始。 这将整合夏季研究作为学生更大的物理体验的一部分，同时使其对主机研究人员更具生产力。 ***

9322304 Ellis This grant will support the undergraduate summer experience of six to eight students each year. Half of the students will be women specifically recruited from the Twelve College Exchange Program already in place, and the other half will be Wesleyan physics students. The Physics Department will use this added opportunity for physics summer research to bring more women into physics by using the Twelve College Exchange Program to significantly increase the pool of prospective women. This combination has the added benefit of eliminating the time obstacle to real research involvement during only one summer. The research will follow a semester or two of academic study at the host institution (Wesleyan) and the participating students will have already acclimated themselves to the environment within the Physics Department by the beginning of the summer. This will integrate the summer research as part of a larger physics experience for the student and at the same time make it more productive for the host researcher. ***
