NEWS IN BRIEF: Opportunities open to Spend a Summer with a Scientist

---

SaS runs from May 12 through Aug. 15.

The highly acclaimed SaS program, now operating for its eighth year, provides students with summer work opportunities under the guidance of researchers from the Center for Research on Parallel Computation, five computational science areas at Rice and the Keck Center for Computational Biology.

Directed by Richard Tapia, Rice Noah Harding Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics and CRPC Director of Human Resources and Education, SaS exposes students to research in computational science and encourages them to attend or continue graduate school. Most past participants of this program are either currently enrolled in graduate school or plan on applying.

A component of the program centers around discussions and activities that promote a general awareness of societal and other issues, including diversity.

Students accepted for the SaS program will receive a monthly stipend. Diversity in applicants is strongly encouraged.

Applications must be received no later than April 15.

For application information, visit the SaS home page at http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/SaS/ or contact Theresa Chatman (send e-mail to lc@rice.edu , call 713-285-5180 or fax 713-285-5136).
