"I know today and in the future, I will look back on my REU experience as having a very significant impact on my education and career choices. The REU program gave me experience (conducting research, working with a professor and students, living in a new place) that is invaluable and I would have never had the opportunity to gain this experience elsewhere as an undergraduate student."
Jennifer Hurt (REU '04) |

"My experience as an intern was one of my favorite memories as an undergrad. If you ask me, all students should be required to complete an REU internship. If any changes were to be made, it would be to take on more students!"
Stephanie Hurder (REU '03) |
|
"Being an REU at CBL was one of the most influential experiences in my life. It helped me figure out what kinds of science experiences I wanted to have (lab versus field work) and what sort of campus I was looking for (secluded marine lab versus main campus atmosphere). It really gave me a feel for what it might be like to be a graduate student."
