Description/Abstract
This presentation highlights strategies for tracking and gathering data on former Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) participants of a national scientific research laboratory. Over the past four years the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory’s Center for Integrating Research & Learning (CIRL) has created a database containing the career trajectories and academic accomplishments of former REU program participants dating back to 1999. Through a continued relationship with former REUs, CIRL has established an online venue for past and present REU participants to network with one another.
