Dr. Louis H. Pignolet and other members of the Chemistry Department of the University of Minnesota are being supported to provide a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 1995-97, twenty undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each summer actively engaged in a variety of research projects. Projects cover the traditional and newer areas of chemistry, including environmentally benign synthesis. While the NSF award supports ten students, cost-sharing by the University enables a total of 20 students to participate, at least 65% of whom are recruited nationally from institutions other than the University of Minnesota.
