SUMMARY:Finding a Summer Research Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:
 \n
 \n
 REU stands for Research Experience for Undergraduates. 
 Hosted by colleges and universities 
 around the U.S., REUs provide an intensive 
 research experience on a particular topic within 
 a scholarly discipline. REU participants 
 generally work with an advisor on a research 
 project over the duration of the program (usually 
 10 to 12 weeks). Host universities cover 
 all expenses (including travel, accommodations, 
 and food) and provide a stipend. For undergraduates 
 with plans for graduate or professional 
 school after MSU, REUs provide the opportunity 
 to expand your professional network 
 and acquire research experience in an area of 
 interest. In this workshop, you will learn 
 more about REUs, the benefits of participation, 
 and effective search strategies, including 
 how to find and apply for REU opportunities.\n\n
