Commitment to Diversity: TTE
REU is committed to broadening participation in science and
engineering. We strongly encourage students from historically
under-represented
groups in science and engineering to apply to our internship program,
including students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, women,
veterans, underrepresented minorities, students with disabilities,
and/or first-generation college students. Our program
is designed to promote future student success by providing support
through mentoring, research training, and various networking activities.
