The REU-niverse Explained

A panel featuring faculty and REU alumni (and pizza)

January 15, 2026 at 4:30pm, SAS 4201

Are you curious about mathematical research?  Would you like to travel somewhere new this summer?  If so, you should consider applying to a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU).  These summer programs typically last 8-10 weeks and take place at colleges and universities all over the country.  They are fun and also exceptionally rewarding, both intellectually and professionally.  There are many possible mathematical topics, with opportunities for students in every academic year.  This panel will be a crash course on finding REUs, creating a competitive application, and eventually succeeding in your research experience. 

Application deadlines are approaching quickly, so get a head start and check out the links here: https://www.ewbates.com/links.
