The Chemistry Department at Furman University has developed an NSF-REU program that promotes the intellectual and scientific development of both students and their faculty mentors. The program accepts visiting student-faculty teams and works to create ties with PUIs, HBCUs and community colleges to accomplish these goals. Visiting faculty may participate over multiple summers and are encouraged to bring one to three students from their home institution. The REU site strives to develop long-term relationships with other institutions and, as a result, affords a sustainable mechanism for providing research opportunities to underserved students. The various strategies that the Furman REU site uses to broaden participation will be discussed.
