Audience

The participants at this meeting include experienced REU PIs who are interested in sharing best practices within and across disciplines.  Highlight your programmatic elements and approaches that would be of broad interest to PIs of other REU sites. Alternatively, you could discuss how REUs share resources and strategies within your discipline.

Possible topics might include how your REU or discipline approaches:

  • Student training in science communication, professional ethics, research skills, or professional skills like résumé-writing
  • Recruitment and support of students from underrepresented groups and institutions with limited research opportunities, including two-year colleges
  • Assessment and program evaluation / long term tracking of students. 
  • Successful strategies in preparing and supporting mentors / new and different mentoring structures
  • Program impacts, outcomes, publications, or patents, and factors contributing to those successes
  • How your discipline shares REU resources, support, and strategies / REU Leadership Committee activities in your discipline
