REU SITE: The Keck Northeast Astronomy ConsortiumABSTRACTAST 0647325The PI will head the Research Experience for Undergraduates site conducted by the Keck Northeast Astronomy Consortium (KNAC). The site has three main components: (1) A 10-week summer research opportunity for 12 students per year to work at a KNAC institution, (2) A fall Student Symposium attended by KNAC faculty and about 80 students, where each KNAC supported student gives a 10-minute research talk, as well as other students from their institutions, and guests. There is also a poster paper session for students who cannot give talks due to time constraints, (3) Publication of the Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium, for which each presenting student will contribute a four-page research paper. To date, approximately half of KNAC students go on to graduate school and most are pursuing science-oriented careers. KNAC serves as a model for other small college astronomy departments of how a regional consortium can successfully address issues of size.The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

REU站点：Keck Northeast Astromy Consortiumabstractast 0647325 PI将负责由Keck Northeast Astromy Consortium（KNAC）进行的本科生的研究经验。该网站有三个主要组成部分：（1）为每年12名学生在KNAC机构工作的10周夏季研究机会，（2）由KNAC教职员工参加的秋季学生研讨会和大约80名学生，每个KNAC支持的学生都会为10分钟的学生提供10分钟的研究讲座，以及其他机构和客人和客人的学生。还有一个海报论文会议，针对由于时间限制而无法进行会谈的学生，（​​3）在本科研究研讨会的会议记录中发布，每个介绍的学生都将撰写四页的研究论文。迄今为止，大约一半的KNAC学生继续学习研究生院，并且大多数正在从事以科学为导向的职业。 KNAC是其他小型大学天文学部门的模型，该部门如何成功解决大小问题。该地点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。
