The 1996 NSF-STC SURP program which consisted of 30 undergraduates took place at Virginia Tech starting May 20 for eleven weeks. With more than 350 applicants from all over the U.S., the filter of excellence for selection was indeed fine, in the 8th Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Most participants were rising seniors, having top 5% grades and excellent recommendations. Women and minorities were especially well represented. By combining funds from several sources, the participating faculty now number 21, and some sponsored two students. This is certainly one of the largest programs of this type in this country. The abstract from the final written report may be seen by clicking here.
