Accepted students will participate in a unique “Spring Ahead” research session during the spring semester to meet and work virtually, using video conferencing and online journal club discussions, with project mentors to outline summer projects. During the 9 week on-site experience at the RIT campus REU students will be involved in cohort-wide research methods workshops, smaller research group meetings, individual mentoring, Professional Development workshops and cohort-building events. REU students will earn a $5,000 stipend ($500 of which will be earned during the spring session) and will be housed, at no expense to the student, in RIT’s state-of-the-art housing complex, Global Village.
