Summer Science Fellowship
Are you a first or second year Carleton student interested in majoring in the sciences or math? Consider applying for a Summer Science Fellowship. This program aims to broaden participation of historically underrepresented groups (including gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, and disabilities) in the sciences and math by providing research opportunities for two summers as well as mentoring activities. The application deadline is January 13th. More information and the application can be found at http://serc.carleton.edu/cismi/students/summer_fellows.html

MATCH Corp
Recent Carleton alum Sara Parr sent this info to us about the MATCH Corp program. Sara says “I’m sending you this because I think some of this year’s senior Physics majors might be interested in the MATCH Corps, the program I’m currently doing. Basically, it’s tutoring and teaching at an inner-city school in Boston. Typically after the year, fellows go on to top grad schools in medicine, law, and the social sciences, become full-time teachers in high-need schools, or get involved in education policy and administration. The application process is highly selective and the demands of the program are intense, but it’s been a really rewarding experience so far.”
All the info on the program can be found here: http://www.matchschool.org/matchcorps/process.htm

Summer Research Away from Carleton – REUs and Internships
As information on REUs and internships comes into the department, it is posted online at http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/reu/.
Check for new information often as this site gets updated regularly. Start preparing your applications over winter break because many of these REUs have deadlines in mid January and you will want to come back to Carleton ready to submit your applications.
Please read the instructions for requesting letters of reference here http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/references/ before you ask for a letter of reference from a faculty member. This will make the process go more smoothly for everyone.
