NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates, and similar programs host by the National Insititutes for Health and other funders, provide paid summer research internships at university research labs across the country. WKU students obtain and participate in summer research internship programs every year.

This event will focus on connecting undergraduate students in nearly all academic disciplines, including biomedical, STEM, and social science undergraduates, with these programs.

Moderated by Cory Dodds in the Office of Scholar Development, a panel of WKU faculty, who have previously managed an REU, will discuss the mentorship provided via research internship programs and the do's and don'ts of applying for these valuable opportunities.

Join U.S. Department of State Diplomat in Residence for the North Central Region (KY, TN, IN, MI), Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) St. Louis Office Agent-in-Charge Matthew Perry, and Bureau of Consular Affairs Recruitment Advisor Tyquain McClellan for a virtual general information session on State Department students programs and careers.

Attendees will learn about State Department career pathways and specific opportunities for students. After an initial presentation, students will have the opportunity to ask questions of State Department officials and WKU students who have participated in State Department opportunities.

This virtual event will be conducted via Zoom and hosted by Will Randolph from the Office of Scholar Development. Students can register for the event by completing the following form: https://airtable.com/appoo5ahu12jM49YK/shrulNuXHwwkpmQ9Z
