NEWS IN BRIEF: Summer with a scientist

The Rice-headquartered Center for Research on Parallel Computation will hold two "Spend a Summer with a Scientist" programs for women and under-represented minorities between mid-May and mid-August.

The SaS programs allow talented minority and women undergraduate and graduate students to work for the summer under the direction of researchers from the CRPC, the Keck Center for Computational Biology and five Rice departments.

Many of the 43 students who have participated in the program since it began in 1989 have either enrolled in or plan to enroll in graduate school in computational science, computer science and other science, mathematics or engineering programs.

Students interested in applying or learning more about the program should contact Theresa Chatman, Manager of Outreach Programs, CRPC, MS-41, 6100 South Main Street, Houston, TX 77005, 285-5180 (phone), 285-5136 (fax) or tlc@rice.edu (e-mail).
