[Geoldept] Summer Research stipend for Undergraduates

[Bernard Housen]

Hello current GeoStudents,
I am writing to seek self-nominations from qualified current students for a summer research stipend (for up to $6000). The award has some specific criteria, which I'll detail below. If you consider yourself to be qualified and are interested in being nominated for this award, please email me (bernieh at wwu.edu<mailto:bernieh at wwu.edu>) with your name, and a suggested faculty member to mentor your summer (2022) research project.

The details are:

Kohlmeier Mikulencak Summer Research Stipend- (1 @ $6000*); multiple students may apply from a given department or program.



  *   For an undergraduate student majoring in a in CSE program.
  *   Preference given to students who learn differently, are neurodivergent or have a documented learning disability as demonstrated through accommodations provided by Western Washington University's Disability Access Center or a documented IEP/504 plan from the applicant's high school or other psychological evaluation/documentation of a learning challenge.
  *   Research must be supervised by an appropriate faculty mentor who understands and appreciates that students who learn differently can bring alternative strengths and viewpoints (such as new ways of looking at things and perspectives that lead to a more inclusive environment) to the research and classroom environment.
  *   The award winner will write an end-of summer summary (minimum 1 page) or provide a verbal summary with or without a video describing the research work done so that their accomplishments can be shared with the donors.
  *   Kohlmeier Mikulencak scholars will be included in an undergraduate research summer cohort, in which group lunches and discussions will be provided.

If you have questions, please contact me.

Thanks and have a fine weekend

Bernie
