Subject: Washington University summer REU program

Dear Dr. Newhall,

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington
University is running a summer REU program this year.  The program
builds on our successful, if somewhat hastily-arranged 2009 program,
and we're hoping to host about 30 students for the summer.  

We hope that the summer program can become a way that we can provide
students with a taste of graduate research and encourage them to
consider graduate study (and perhaps us).  We have a strong tradition
of involving both undergraduates and graduate students in research, and
often multi-disciplinary research, and we're hoping to bring about a
dozen undergraduates from excellent colleges such as yours to
Washington University this summer. We have a variety of interesting
research projects, listed on the web page

  http://reu.cse.wustl.edu

and we'll try to match students by interest.  We have an NSF REU site
grand pending, and anticipate that there will be more projects looking
for students should this be funded (so students should apply, even if
there's not an obvious match for their interests).

This year, we're targeting students from schools such as Swarthmore who
might be interested in trying out research at WU.  Do you know of
strong students who might enjoy spending the summer trying their hand
at research?  These will be paid positions, and we can offer help with
housing.

Thanks in advance for your help in getting the word out to your
students.  If you can suggest other ways in which me might reach
interested students, I'd be very interested to hear them.

cheers

-- Bill Smart
