          |  The 
            program objective is to promote the professional development of minority 
            undergraduate students through their participation in ocean and marine 
            science research. The program consists of ten undergraduates. Each 
            student is assigned to a specific research team, where he/she will 
            work closely with the faculty. In addition, seminars, lunch meetings, 
            and social functions are organized to facilitate undergraduate interaction. 
            The project will be conducted for six weeks during summer 2001, with 
            on-line mentoring and follow-up during academic year 2001-02. |  |
