SUMMER RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
What is Summer Research About?
A summer research program is an opportunity for undergraduates to get paid to work on a research project for the summer with a researcher. In many cases, participants also take various workshops or seminars related to the research and/or future opportunities such as graduate school. Sometimes these summer research programs have alternative titles such as summer internship or REU - Research Opportunity for Undergraduates.

Why Should I Consider Participating in a Summer Research Opportunity?
- There are a number of reasons to undertake research projects in the summer
- As an opportunity to get involved with types of research you may not have here at California State University, East Bay
- To get a chance to see how a national laboratory or observatory runs
- To make contacts at other universities, laboratories, observatories (these may come in handy later if you go on to graduate school)
- To get a different perspective on the kind of research that exists in your field of interest
- To spend a summer somewhere really interesting
