REU Site: Chemistry as the Focus of an Interdisciplinary Summer Research Program at Wellesley College

化学奖的这个部门支持本科生研究经验（REU）网站在韦尔斯利学院的2007年至2009年夏季更新。项目主任克里斯托弗Aruminayagam将协助共同PI大卫海恩斯在十周的计划。 十名学生将与化学，物理和地球科学系的多元化教师团队在协作和多学科环境中进行一系列以化学为重点的项目研究。 受影响的学生包括正在上升的大学生和大三学生，来自代表性不足群体的学生，以及来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。 此外，两名当地高中毕业生将被邀请在夏季做兼职研究。 所有REU学生将参加每周一次的研讨会计划，就业机会和研究生院小组，以及公开演讲，科学写作和道德讲习班。 演讲者和小组成员将大量借鉴韦尔斯利校友，以提供成功的科学家和公民的可访问和容易识别的榜样。 每个学生将在夏季给她的研究两个公开演示，第一个作为口头介绍正在进行的工作，第二个作为海报在所有学院海报会议。还将鼓励学生在国家和区域会议上介绍他们的研究。

This Division of Chemistry award supports the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Wellesley College for the summers of 2007-2009. Program director Christopher Arumainayagam will be assisted by co-PI David Haines in the ten-week program. Ten students will do research with a diverse group of faculty in the chemistry, physics, and geosciences departments on an array of chemistry-focused projects in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. Students impacted include rising sophomores and juniors, students from underrepresented groups, and students from institutions with limited research opportunities. In addition, two local high school seniors will be invited to do part-time research during the summer. All REU students will participate in a weekly seminar program, panels on career opportunities and graduate schools, and workshops in public speaking, scientific writing, and ethics. Speakers and panelists will draw heavily from Wellesley alumnae to provide accessible and easily identifiable role models of successful scientists and citizens. Each student will give two public presentations of her research during the summer, the first as an oral presentation of work in progress, and the second as a poster in an all-college poster session. Students also will be encouraged to present their research at national and regional conferences.
