Dear Hubbard Brook colleagues,
We're up and running for our 2015 REU
program. I have attached a 1-page flyer and we would greatly appreciate
your help in advertising.
Please note that NSF funds these programs in part
to make research experiences available to students who don't have as much access
to research opportunities, and we are judged in part by our success at
recruiting such students. What this means for us is that we need good
applicants from teaching-oriented schools, students who are the first in their
family to attend college, and especially students from groups "under-represented
in ecology" - defined by NSF as African-American, Hispanic, and Native-American
students.
If you know any such students that you think
will benefit from a summer at Hubbard Brook, please encourage them to
apply and feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
-Geoff
