The URE
OMS 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 eight weeks during summer 2002,
with on-line mentoring and follow-up during academic
year 2002-03.
