experience with graduate schools interested in recruiting such students
(click here

charge to the student. Interested graduate schools contact CUR and pay
to gain access to the student's records. These schools can then contact
students whose records they are interested in. 100% of the proceeds
go directly into our Summer Fellowships program, supporting CUR members
and their students for a summer of (CUR-sponsored) research. Students
can register on-line.
Once you register, you will receive an email that provides you with
a password and instructions on how to complete your records.
