It is expected that the Research Fellows consider this experience their principal source of income for the summer.  We are not particularly interested in offering full-time fellowships to students who have significant employment commitments outside the Chemistry Department.  Students may hold a part-time job, in addition to their fellowship, but their work hours for that job should be largely limited to weekends.

 All fellows and faculty advisors will participate in a weekly seminar series.  These seminars, to be held every Friday at noon during the ten-week period, will give the students and their mentors the opportunity to present periodic updates of their research efforts.  We envision that the fellows will give brief, 5-minute presentations every other week.  The Department will provide lunch.  A written summary of research will be prepared by each Research Fellow at the end of the summer research experience.
