opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students. Institutions with
programs (such as REU programs) send to the AAS a brief description of the
program, a web link where students can retrieve further information and a
contact person's email address. Information for summer 2004 programs will be
posted as soon as the AAS receives the information. The Summer Employment
Opportunities web page is: http://www.aas.org/career/Summer.html.
