The REUs took a day trip to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Some of them had been before, it was a new experience for others. They had a great time exploring and taking a break from their research at UAB to have some fun. We’re glad they had a good time.
Meet our 2023 Summer REU participants: (front l-r): Oscar Allen, Taylor Brown, Edwina Brown, Maurissa Higgins, Jadyn Parker, Jada Paige, Karim Haddad
(Back row l-r): David Heson, Lea Hebert, Sophia Cornelius, Isaiah Bastien, Victor Cordero, Isaac Mendez, Mikhail Guchkov, Wesley Sutton, Jonathan Perkins
Another successful Summer REU program has come and gone. It was our pleasure to host this exceptional group of students from across the country.
You can check out the slideshow of the REUs in action in their research labs.
We look forward to next year’s program. Application for Summer 2024 will be available online December 1, 2023.
Thanks to Katherine Zobre for arranging the tour at Innovaton Depot and special thanks to TruSpin Chief Executive Office Robert Agnew and Chief Technology Officer Anthony Brayer and Jessica Lewis for the time they took out of their schedules to speak with the REUs.
