A student from Harvey Mudd College: "I am
very pleased that I decided to come to UNLV
this summer. Rather than treating me as a
pupil or employee, the professor seemed to
regard me as a colleague. I have found not
only a mentor, but a friend as well. This
summer's activities will help to make me a
better researcher in the future. Being an
REU participant has been a very positive experience
for me."
-
A student from Reed College: "I feel that
this REU summer has served as a very valuable
guide in my continuing education. Not only
have I gained a better perspective of a physics
laboratory, I have also gathered useful information
through becoming more familiar with the laboratory
environment. I enjoyed being a part of these
stimulating surroundings. Such an experience
should be required by anyone seriously considering
graduate education as a physicist. The experiences
I have had in your lab are memorable and treasured
indeed."

A student from UNLV: "During my study, I have
developed a new-found confidence to carry
out experiments. This summer is one I'll never
forget. My research experience hasn't been
without struggle, but I feel the rewards are
in my ability to move more freely and confidently
in the realm of scientific research."
-
Another student writes: "I would like to say
that this project has been a wonderful learning
experience for me. It has helped me to decide
that I want to continue my education pursuing
theoretical physics. I am very grateful for
the opportunity to work with the professor
and his graduate student. I have learned so
much from them. "
-
Another student comments that "this summer
gave me a real good idea about what actual
research is all about and both what to expect
and what problems you may encounter when doing
research. I feel privileged to have participated
in this program and know that the knowledge
and experience gained will carry a long way."

A former UNLV undergraduate student, now a
graduate student in physics at the University
of Colorado: "My summer laboratory experience
has been eventful and rewarding. I have learned
many significant things this summer. My theoretical
understanding has continued to develop, as
well as my experimental technique. I really
appreciate the opportunity that I have had
to participate in the summer REU program."
