A senior scientist at the School of Freshwater Sciences, he co-directs the program with associate scientist Carmen Aguilar. \u201cContinuously operating for all these years isn\u2019t trivial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least half of the 250 REU alumni have gone on to graduate school.

Becker decided to defer graduate school in order to take the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure I wouldn\u2019t have gotten that opportunity, had I not been at ASLO,\u201d he says. \u201cThe REU took me out of the clinical lab research that I had been doing and was instrumental in sending me on this path to marine microbiology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Becker was ready for graduate school, support from Cuhel was again pivotal in helping him get into Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), where he has just completed his Ph.D. and is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the inter-institutional MIT\/WHOI Joint Program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freshwater faculty mentor, motivate, recruit <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cuhel and Aguilar aren\u2019t the only mentors active in the REU. Over the years many SFS faculty have volunteered with REU, representing the wide array of disciplines associated with the school. The 2012 mentors included Jerry Kaster, Tim Grundl, Rudi Strickler, Paul Roebber, John Janssen, Rebecca Klaper and Laodong Guo.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few years, the REU has served as a pipeline to recruit talented students to SFS for their graduate studies \u2013 and even students who are not accepted to the REU are now considering 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Valencia enrolled in SFS after he completed his REU there just last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Armed with his bachelor\u2019s from 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Conservation and Environmental Science program, Valencia is pursuing a professional master\u2019s, which requires a commercial internship rather than a research thesis. Aguilar is his mentor. \u201cI\u2019d like to take what I learn in graduate school and apply it to issues facing private industry,\u201d Valencia says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51ÁÔÆæ&#8217;s  Research Experience for Undergraduates has led many to graduate studies and  scientific and technical careers
