The Oak Ridge Science Semester ( http://www.acm.edu/programs/15/oakridge/contacts/index.html ) is an excellent opportunity for undergraduates to conduct research and work alongside career scientists at a premier facility, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Students do significant work on a research project related to their interests under the mentorship of a scientist at the lab. Students receive a full semester of academic credit, usually including an advanced course in their major. The program runs in the fall semester and is open to juniors and seniors.
A Resident Faculty Director from one of the consortium schools participates each year to teach, coordinate the academic program, and be a liaison for the students. Prof. Craig Teague of Cornell College, who was the Resident Faculty Director in Fall 2009, will be here on Tuesday to share information and answer questions. All students and faculty are invited to stop by, even if you have no specific questions and just want to hear about this opportunity for science students.
