Earlier this month, 31 students from area high schools applied and were invited to spend an afternoon at UAH, shadowing undergraduate participants in the university’s Summer Community of Scholars. This 80+ members group is made up of the Research or Creative Experience for Undergraduates (RCEU) summer program and the Honors Capstone Research (HCR) summer program, as well as students doing research with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site and Supplement programs, and any other undergraduate researchers on campus during the summer semester. The shadowing event allowed the visiting students to get an insider’s look at UAH’s undergraduate research opportunities and network with both peers and faculty members while learning more about the specific research projects they applied to work on.
