Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research (PIER) at CMU is pleased to announce its 2017 Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU).
PIER-REU is designed to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in graduate training programs by providing undergraduate students (mainly juniors and seniors) with research experience during summer. This program allows talented undergraduates to spend 8 weeks during the summer in a research laboratory at CMU. Each student will receive a fellowship stipend of $3,000 and apartment-style housing will be provided. Guidance and supervision of the research project will be provided by a faculty member as well as, in some cases, a postdoctoral fellow and/or advanced graduate student. Admitted students will also participate in the Go Research! Summer Program at CMU. This program brings undergraduate researchers from across departments together in apartment-style dorms with resident assistants to facilitate community building, manage housing, and provide programming. A Summer Seminar Series is provided for all students to help prepare for graduate education and research careers. Applications are due via email by March 20, 2017. Additional information and a link to the application are available on the program website.

Apply here! In cooperation with George Mason University, I will be spearheading a study abroad program in my country, Cyprus, a safe, beautiful, and intriguing island in the Mediterranean. Check out the video at the bottom of the post to learn more about Cyprus! About Cyprus Cyprus is considered the pearl of the Mediterranean and also the birthplace of the Goddess Aphrodite. With warm sun, sparkling sea, welcoming people and wonderful scenery, Cyprus offers visitors a superb holiday destination packed with unforgettable experiences, extraordinary sights and exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. Course Work Undergraduate and graduate students will have the opportunity to take 6 Psychology credits as well as tour the island and interact with locals and experience all that Cyprus has to offer (e.g. sandy beaches, exquisite food, and over 8,000 years of history)! Instruction will take place at the Cyprus University of Technology from Monday-Thursday. Students will have a unique opportunity to acquire theoretical knowledge on human behavior and their areas of interest. Moreover, students will develop applied research skills, including statistical analysis skills and using SPSS. In short, we will learn how to quantify and analyze human behavior and gain insight on how culture shapes behavior. From Friday-Sunday we will be taking tours and overnight stays in key locations around the island and immerse ourselves in the Greek culture and tradition. Classes Offered
