May 22 - July 30

 

NOTE: This calendar is a copy of information for archive purposes.

All events were available in-person and online to provide flexibility/safety related to Covid and support remote participation. A few events were entirely online.

Participants work on their independent research outside of any REU events. The general daily schedule is 9am-5:30pm, which accounts for an 8-hr workday and 30-min lunch break from May 22 to July 31. Any absences must be requested and approved by Alex.
