2008 CSL Undergraduate Summer Research Stipends
The College of Science and Letters is pleased to report on the activities of the 2008 CSL Undergraduate Summer Research Stipend recipients. Eight students received $5,000 each to conduct 10 weeks of research with a faculty mentor this summer.
Winners represent four of CSL's six departments, and research ranged from a professional and technical communication project interested in machine-mediated communication to a theoretical particle physics project at Fermilab.

The College of Science and Letters at the Illinois Institute of Technology believes strongly in research experience for undergraduates. Research allows students to explore their interests, solve problems, advance knowledge, and prepare for the next step — whether graduate school, medical school, or the workplace.
Research opportunities for CSL undergraduates are available as early as the second semester of freshman year and are guided by world-class faculty who have received national and international recognition in their respective fields.
"A university like IIT is a place for the creation, sharing and application of knowledge. Here, students have the opportunity to learn from people who not only have knowledge but who also know how to create knowledge. Education in the environment of knowledge creation is extremely powerful."
— Dr. R. Russell Betts, Dean, College of Science and Letters
