</font>The Graduate Students Office at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology will host its annual <b>MIT Summer Research Program</b> from
early June to mid-August of 2007.<br><br>
The MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP), an institutional effort that
began in 1986, facilitates the involvement of talented students in
research aspects of the fields of engineering and science, particularly
those who are underrepresented in these fields. This summer program seeks
to identify talented sophomores and juniors from around the country who
could benefit from spending a summer on MIT's campus, working in a
research laboratory under the tutelage and guidance of experienced
scientists and engineers.<br><br>
The program features supervision by an MIT faculty member, postdoctoral
fellow or advanced graduate student; weekly seminars/workshops;
preparation and delivery of a research poster and an oral presentation;
individual counseling on academic careers; hands-on training in active,
"real-world" laboratories; and participation in social and
cultural activities in the area.<br><br>
We are writing to ask for you assistance in identifying college minority
undergraduates (particularly African-American, Puerto Rican, Mexican
American and American Indian/Alaskan Native students) interested in
science and engineering who would benefit from a 10-week
research-intensive summer program. Applicant requirements (and the online
application) can be found on the web at
<a href="http://www.web.mit.edu/gso/msrp">web.mit.edu/gso/msrp</a>.<br><br>
Applications can be downloaded from the web at
<a href="http://www.web.mit.edu/gso/msrp">web.mit.edu/gso/msrp</a>. Each
student must complete the application and return it as soon as possible
but at the very latest by January 31, 2007.<br>
<br>
All applications that are not completed online should be mailed
to:<br><br>
MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP)<br><br>
Graduate Students Office<br><br>
Room 3-138<br><br>
Cambridge, MA 02139-4307<br><br>
