Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Clemson University

该奖项由化学部颁发，支持威廉·T·彭宁顿博士和克莱姆森大学化学系的其他成员继续在化学领域开展本科生研究体验(REU)网站。在2000-2002年期间，每年夏天，30名本科生将在克莱姆森化学学院的监督和指导下，每人花10周时间进行原创研究。一位著名的化学家将被邀请为学生研究研讨会做开场演讲。该方案的其他活动包括：介绍研究成果的培训、实验室安全培训、研讨会、实地考察和与研究经验相关的专题研讨会。学生将接受研究生化学教育方面的咨询，并在参与该项目后跟踪他们的职业发展。在遴选过程中，将优先考虑来自克莱姆森周围十个州地区研究密集度较低的机构的学生，并将特别重视从目前化学学位持有者中代表性较低的群体中招收学生。每个暑期计划都会在研讨会上达到高潮，在研讨会上，学生将以海报的形式展示他们的暑期作品。

This award, by the Chemistry Division, supports Dr. William T. Pennington and other members of the Department of Chemistry at Clemson University in continuing a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000 - 2002 30 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each performing original research under the supervision and guidance of Clemson Chemistry faculty each summer. An eminent chemist will be invited to give the opening lecture for the student research symposium. Other activities in the program include: training in presentation of research results, training in lab safety, seminars, field trips and workshops on specialized topics relevant to the research experience. Students will be counseled on post graduate chemical education and their career progress will be tracked after their participation in the program. In the selection process preference will be given to students from less research-intensive institutions in the ten-state region surrounding Clemson and special emphasis will be placed on recruitment of students from groups presently underrepresented among those holding degrees in chemistry. Each summer program will culminate in a symposium in which students will present their summer's work in a poster format.
