About us
Students will learn about water, energy, and transportation systems and resilience. They will also learn about how community planning with a social equity lens can bolster resilience. In addition, they will gain an in-depth understanding of the research process in an interdisciplinary learning space. Professional development, data analytics training, and other activities will support students in navigating future studies and career paths.
Students selected receive a $6,000 summer stipend, on campus housing, and a meal plan.
Our REU program prioritizes community-focused research, emphasizing local knowledge for resilience planning. Participants gain diverse fieldwork experience, exploring social inequities and infrastructure resilience. With three universities involved, we offer a wide professional network. We aim for a diverse student cohort, especially welcoming traditionally excluded communities in science and engineering. This REU program is funded by a Kansas NSF EPSCoR initiative known as ARISE, which stands for adaptive and resilient infrastructures driven by social equity, connects students to mentorship at Kansas State University (KSU), University of Kansas (KU), and Wichita State University (WSU).
