Subject: Fwd: Dartmouth's graduate programs in CS


Just a quick note to ask you to encourage your best seniors to apply
to graduate school-- and to have them consider Dartmouth.  In
particular, students who might not thrive at a large program might
find Dartmouth to be a good fit.  They can find lots of information
and the application materials at our home page,
        
The applications are due on February 1.

Thanks!
Scot

Subject: Georgia Tech - Summer REU Opportunities (multiple)


Please advertise to your students several summer programs at Georgia
Tech open to undergraduates from all over the country.  Thank you!


Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering (SURE) at Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech's Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering (SURE)
program (see: www.sure.gatech.edu)   expose talented minority
students to science and engineering research, and as a direct
consequence, interest them in opportunities available through
graduate study. Key elements of the program include:

*Ten weeks of meaningful research in engineering (electrical,
aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, environmental, industrial,
mechanical, or materials), applied science (physics, chemistry,
biology, or mathematics), and electronics packaging - Pairing each
student with both a faculty advisor and a graduate student mentor
*A weekly seminar on emerging research in engineering/science fields
*A monthly stipend competitive with what the students might receive
from a summer internship in industry
*Lodging, meals and a travel allowance for participants
*Opportunities to visit local industrial research sites
*Oral and written research project summaries prepared by the student
participants
*Social interaction between the student participants and their graduate
mentors
*Program evaluation by the student participants


Aquatic Chemical Ecology Program at Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech is pleased to announce our summer REU (Research
Experience for Undergraduates) sponsored by NSF (and co-funded by
DoD), broadly focused on Aquatic Chemical
Ecology
(http://www.biolog
+y.gatech.edu/undergraduate-program/reu/).
In ACE at GaTech, students will receive education and training from a
multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, including fluid
dynamists, ecologists, microbial ecologists, chemists, earth and atmospheric
scientists,  and sensory biologists. Students will work closely with one or
more faculty mentors to design, implement, and report on a 10 week
investigation of their own choosing. Areas of study include microbial
mediated material cycling, biogeochemical cycling, mechanisms of chemical
signaling among organisms, and the structure and impact of chemical signals
on ecological processes.  Students will also receive instructions in
essential tools of the trade (experimental design, oral and written
presentations etc.) for the practicing scientist or engineer. All
participants will receive room, board and a stipend.  ACE at GaTech
will be an educationally rich program in a relaxed social setting
that will encourage independent discovery and personal growth, and

would be perfect for students who are hoping to learn more about
careers in science in general, and integrative research in
particular. All students get the opportunity to present their work
before a large audience at GA Tech, and about half of our students
subsequently present their work at national or international
meetings.  This program is appropriate for biologists, but also
students with backgrounds in engineering or chemistry.


Chemistry Summer Programs at Georgia Tech
Chemistry and Biochemistry undergraduate majors are invited to apply
for a ten-week (May 21- July 27, 2007) research program sponsored by
the National Science Foundation (NSF-REU) and Siemens Corporation
(Siemen's Scholars Program). Program participants will receive a
stipend of $4000, a travel allowance, and housing. Each research
student carries out a research project under the direction of a
faculty member in School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia
Tech. Projects are available in analytical, biological, inorganic,
organic, physical, and polymer chemistry. Contributions by
undergraduate participants often result in publication of papers in
the peer-reviewed literature with the student listed as an author.

Students interested in specializations within chemistry may apply to
the Chemistry Summer Theory
Program (theoretical/computational chemistry) or
MDITR REU Program
(organic photonic and electronic materials) at Georgia Tech.

More information and application can be found at:
http://www.chemistry.gatech.edu/undergraduate/summer/index.php


SURF 2007 (Research Experience for Undergraduate) Programs in
Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech
We are pleased to announce the SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
FELLOWSHIP (SURF) and International Research Experience (IREP)
Programs at Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, Georgia,
from May 30 to July 25, 2007. SURF is sponsored by the National
Science Foundation under the Research Experiences for Undergraduates

 (REU) Program, and in part by the Georgia Institute of Technology.

SURF2007 is an 8-week research experience program open for
undergraduates in any science or engineering discipline at U.S.
Universities, for hands-on participation in materials research with
projects focusing on "Structure-Property Correlation across
Micro-to-Nano Length Scales." Students will work on a one-to-one
basis under the mentorship of faculty in various engineering
disciplines at the Georgia Tech. Each student will receive a $3,800
stipend and a $1,562 housing allowance for the eight-week term.

The deadline for submitting applications is March 5, 2007.
Information about our past SURF programs and on-line application is
available on our web site at: www.mse.gatech.edu/surf.html.

Dear Colleague,

The Penn Graduate School of Education is pleased to announce a new
M.S.Ed. program in Learning Technologies in Education.

This program prepares students for success in information-rich
environments. Students gain the knowledge, skills, and techniques
necessary to effectively assess, design, and implement the use of
technology in a wide range of learning environments, from individual
distance education and instructional design to mass media and web-based
information collection and dissemination.

Attached is a flyer about the program that may be posted or distributed
to interested students. More information about the program can be found
at http://www.gse.upenn.edu/degrees_programs/fpe_lte.php

We look forward to welcoming talented students like yours into this
exciting and innovative new program!
