New York Combinatorics REU

NYCREU is a summer research experience for undergraduates that is primarily virtual with some in-person events. The goal of the program is to engage students in a research experience with combinatorics faculty.

NYCREU consists of research projects in all areas of combinatorics. Each project is mentored by an active researcher with experience in undergraduate mentoring.

The program runs in June and July and ends by the first week of August with a Summer Showcase where students present a poster on their accomplishments over the summer.

Stipends are provided by individual faculty mentors to the students they are mentoring from their grants. In future we hope to obtain NSF funding.

Continuing the project further to get a publication is up to individual mentors and their students. Most mentors continue to work with their students over the next academic year, as time permits.

Community Agreement: NYCREU aims to offer a joyful, meaningful, and empowering experience. We will build that rich experience together by devoting our strongest possible effort to the REU. You will be challenged and supported. Please prepare to take an active, critical, patient, and generous role in your own learning and research and that of your cohort.
