[20.04] Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Summer Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program: 10 Years of REU

R. Canterna, K. Beck (U. Wyoming), M. A. Hickman (Swarthmore Coll.)

The Wyoming Infrared Observatory's Summer Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program (SURAP) will complete its tenth year as an NSF REU site. Using the theme, a tutorial in research, SURAP has provided research experience for over 90 students from all regions of the United States. We will present typical histories of past students to illustrate the impact an REU experience has on the scientific careers of these students. Demographic data will be presented to show the diverse backgrounds of our SURAP students. A short film describing our science ethics seminar will be available for later presentation.
