The 2007 CPE-REU social program:

We believe you will have an enjoyable experience with us this summer. You will be housed with students from other REU programs in biology, chemistry, biomechanical engineering and pharmacology at the University of Kansas. This is a chance get to know the broader REU community at KU, and students from all over the country. We feel it is important that REU participants feel like they are part of a group, and not isolated in a research lab working on their project. We encourage you to spend some time getting to know your fellow participants.

The program starts with orientation on May 26, 2007. In addition to providing you with valuable resources and information, the orientation will also include activities to help you get to know mentors and participants in the program. The orientation includes tours of the engineering building and the campus. As part of the orientation, you will receive your KU student ID card, which will provide access to dining halls and recreational facilities. The day also includes an outdoor picnic lunch with social/recreation time.

Weekly seminars also provide participants with opportunities to interact with each other and the faculty.

The final Research Symposium is not just a chance to present your accomplishments over the summer, but is also social event. The Research Symposium will be immediately followed by a farewell picnic for all participants.
