Mentors must authorize the research supervisor or an assistant with knowledge of the technical aspects of the work to sign the reports in their absence. Mentors should use the progress reports as an opportunity to discuss research progress, problems, etc. Students should use the reports to practice technical writing skills. Collaborate with the student in writing the abstract and final report. This oral report is a requirement of the MURF program.
Students appreciate the support demonstrated by mentors' attendance at their presentations.
Contact the Student-Faculty Programs Office if administrative problems arise. MURF students also receive housing and roundtrip transportation expenses to the campus. For more complete information, please contact the Student-Faculty Programs Office .
