Foundation sponsored
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that will
focus on
natural resource and environmental issues. The program will last
from June 7 to July 23, 2010. Each student will participate in projects
with various researchers from the
Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Sciences (NRES) and other entities with focuses on
areas including forestry and plant sciences, insects and wildlife
ecology, molecular biology
and genetics, soil mineralogy and biogeochemistry, hydrology and
environmental monitoring, and
landscape ecology
and human interactions. Responsibilities may include field
sampling/site visits, data analysis, and
scientific writing.
Students will attend seminars and workshops on research, and career
planning. At the end of the program, participants will prepare a final
report, a poster, and present their research at a research symposium.
Students will receive a $4000 stipend, dining card, and be housed in
dormitories on the AAMU campus. Minorities and underrepresented groups
