SUMMARY:Finding a Summer Research Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:
 REU stands for Research Experience for Undergraduates. 
 Hosted by colleges and universities 
 across 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. This 
 program is a repeat of the workshop held on 
 November 5, 2013.\n
