STEM Center Grad School and REU Workshop
Graduate School and Research Experiences for Undergraduates Workshop
Applying to Graduate School can be confusing. This Workshop will demystify the application process and help students choose the degrees and programs which match their long-term goals.
A Research Experience for Undergraduates Site consists of a group of undergraduates who work in the research programs of a wide variety of host institutions, either in the US or abroad. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where they work closely with faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Come learn more about these great opportunities, how to find the right fit, craft an application, and solicit references.
