[HubbardBrook] REU

[Geoffrey Wilson]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to continue the discussion about re-envisioning an REU
program that Geoff initiated at the last Quarterly Project Meeting. We hope
that many of you will participate in this brainstorming session (not just
those who might mentor). The discussion will include topics about the
structure of the program, inclusive recruiting ideas, community building
ideas, ways to increase contact with mentors, ways to ensure mentors
adequately supervise their students, ways to support both students and
mentors. It would also include further discussion of remote participation
with a brief on-site visit and a mixed model with some students on-site for
the whole summer and some mostly remote.

We have 4 REU slots open in the current LTER for summer 2022, so this would
be a good opportunity to test out some of the ideas generated in the
discussion. We would like to recruit from the broadest student base
possible and to open the door to students who don't already have some
direct connection to Hubbard Brook via their institution, for example.

We anticipate having a follow-up meeting with potential mentors.

*Please let us know your availability to meet by completing the Doodle Poll

possible.*

Thank you,

Geoff and Peter
