<p class="MsoNormal">If you have students that would like to participate in funded undergraduate research this summer, East Carolina University is hosting an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates from May 23 to July 29. The topic of the REU is Software
and Data Analytics. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think this is a great opportunity for students that are interested in research (or think they may be!), but aren't really sure what it entails, or if they would even enjoy doing research, to get some hands-on experience. Feel free to
have them contact me (my ECU email address is <a href="mailto:hillsma@ecu.edu" target="_blank">hillsma@ecu.edu</a>) or Dr. Nasseh Tabrizi (<a href="mailto:tabrizim@ecu.edu" target="_blank">tabrizim@ecu.edu</a>, the PI for the grant) for more details about
the REU. Students can also go to our REU website, where they can find a link to apply, as well as information on residency and academic requirements:
