Nine minority undergraduates are to be recruited each year from science departments nationally to conduct research at William and Mary. Each student is paired with a research scientist or faculty advisor, chosen to reflect the student's interests and background. The program consists of a variety of scientific lectures, discussion groups, and a cruise with the intention of providing students a broad research experience. ***
