If you’re a Lehigh University STEM professor interested in mentoring a Lehigh Valley student during the spring semester, we have the program for you: The Research Experience at Lehigh (RE@L) Scholars Program.
Inspired by an initiative led by Lehigh chemistry graduate student Dane Santa as part of his National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship award, the program’s goal is to help Lehigh County Community College (LCC) honors students experience research in a lab with advanced instrumentation. For the students, the course will serve as a one-credit independent study, and those admitted into the program will perform research at Lehigh University during the spring semester of their second year of study. In its pilot session (spring 2025) the RE@L program looks to have five students placed in Lehigh labs for about 4 to 8 hours per week.
Lehigh faculty interested in the program should contact Kevin Major, Research Engagement Officer, and fill out the following brief Google form. The Institute for Functional Materials and Devices (I-FMD), an interdisciplinary research institute at Lehigh, is administering the program.
