The PI and Co-PIplan/organize the students travel to FNAL and SLAC. The participantsmerge with other existing REU programs at each site for socialactivities and lectures on various scientific topics. Students arementored by PhD researchers working on leading edge physics topicsand/or technologies chosen for good mentorship qualities as well astheir leadership in their respective scientific fields. Students arerequired to submit a report in the form of a paper at the end of theirexperience and deliver oral presentations.
