Eight KPNO REU students, five NSO-Tucson REU students, and four teachers (funded through a supplement to the REU grants from the National Science Foundation) have arrived in Tucson and settled into their summer research experiences. The REU/RET program includes observing opportunities on Kitt Peak telescopes, a lecture series, and working closely with a mentor on the scientific staff.
