Happy Friday!<\/p>\n
We are emailing on behalf of the AMS club, Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO)<\/strong>, to inquire as to whether you would be interested in participating as a mentor in the Research EXperience Program (REX)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What is REX?<\/strong><\/p>\n REX is a six month long program designed to help undergraduate students build essential research skills through a proposed <\/em>research project (no results required). The skills acquired by the prospective students include:<\/p>\n As a REX mentor you will guide 2-4 undergraduates through a mini proposed<\/em> research project (no results required) within your field of expertise. Your mentee will present at a local undergraduate conference or publish their project in a local undergraduate journal. URO provides workshops on the basics of research methodology to ease the students\u2019 transition into the program. As a mentor, you will take a supervisory role in the students\u2019 projects, and it is recommended you commit a minimum of 4 hours each month for 6 months (October to March).<\/p>\n For an undergraduate, finding a chance to work\/volunteer in a given field of research can be very difficult. REX seeks to help undergraduates experiment with research earlier in their careers and make a more informed decision about graduate school. If this opportunity interests you and you would like to become a mentor, please complete the initial registration form <\/em><\/strong>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong> (This is NOT the final registration.
