As the holiday break approaches at American universities, now is a good time to remind students and friends to apply for the NHERI Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, a world-class summer research program.

NHERI faculty are our most successful REU recruiters, so we urge professors and post-docs to alert their high-achieving students to this career-enhancing opportunity. Many REU alums go on to graduate studies in natural hazards.

The 10-week program gives students hands-on experience at a NHERI facility. Students work on a research project, network with fellow students around the country, and prepare a poster to present at a capstone conference. REU participants also receive a stipend.

Find details and application info in the DesignSafe Learning Center. The NHERI ECO is holding an informational seminar on Jan. 21st. Register here: https://bit.ly/REU_NHERI.

The deadline for NHERI REU applications is Feb. 3, 2021.
