Professor Lowell Kispert and other members of the Chemistry Department of the University of Alabama are being supported to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Chemistry. For the period 1990-92, twelve (12) undergraduate students will spend ten (10) weeks each summer actively engaged in a variety of research projects. Projects range from synthetic biochemistry to catalysis to study of thin films. The department will view the program as successful if students continue in research careers. A unique feature of this program is the involvement of high school teachers and students.
