Every summer, the REU leadership intends to build a cohort of students who develop bonds, learn from one another, and benefit from the program activities. In addition to evaluating candidates’ aptitude for participating in research, we are seeking participants who will enjoy being in a group and use the program to learn more about career paths that connect science and societal benefit. Please recognize that we’ll be looking for these attributes as we review your answers to the questions below.
See our application instructions for more information about these questions
Letters of Recommendation: Please have two references email letters of recommendation to REU-Air@colostate.edu with the subject line of "REU Reference for [your name]." At least one of these people should have some knowledge of your performance in an academic setting, especially classrooms and laboratories. We encourage you to include people who are familiar with you outside of a classroom setting - perhaps someone who can speak about "Where do you shine?”
