Empower the next generation of researchers and innovators with REU-in-a-Box, a comprehensive toolkit designed to help faculty mentors launch and lead successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs).
Developed by experienced computing faculty and researchers, this resource provides a roadmap for high-impact, small-group mentorship. It focuses on the critical student-faculty interactions that drive retention and prepare students for advanced computing careers.
What’s Inside?
The toolkit guides you through the three stages of an REU:
-
1: Before the REU – Strategies for getting started and deciding on your research scope.
-
2: During the REU – Frameworks for both faculty mentor and student activities.
-
3: After the REU – Tools for post-research assessment and guiding students toward their next steps.
Each section includes modifiable templates and handouts to save you time.
