AU PROFESSORS ESTABLISH SUMMER RESEARCH PROGRAM
FOR MINORITIES
Omar
Oyarzabal, assistant professor in Poultry Science
and chair of the College of Agriculture Diversity Committee,
and Jeffrey Fergus, Mechanical Engineering associate professor,
have landed a three-year, $210,000 National Science Foundation
grant to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Program at Auburn. In each of the program's three years, 10
undergraduate students from underrepresented minorities will
come to Auburn to participate in 10-week, hands-on summer
research projects involving sensor and biosensor development.
The students selected as this summer's participants are from
colleges and universities in California, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and Oklahoma. They
will be at AU from May 28 through Aug. 1. Faculty members
from the colleges of Agriculture, Engineering and Sciences
and Mathematics will serve as mentors for the participants.
More information is available at www.ag.auburn.edu/nsfbiosensors/. **From AU Daily, May 1, 2008 **

Now playing: iTunes
U!
Want to learn how to boil peanuts, take a tour of Venice or
check out the Virtual Chicken? You can do all that and more
at iTunes U, a special site just for Auburn University that
has been up and running since late last fall. Already Poultry
Science IT specialist Marcia
Owens Kloepper has filled her
department's
site with more than 50 podcasts, and other departments,
as well as the Alabama Ag Experiment Station and the College
of Ag's administrative offices, have also loaded content. And
there's still room for more. Check out what's there by visiting
http://itunes.auburn.edu, clicking on the "Open AU iTunes" button
and following the links to the College of Ag or AAES sites.
(Note: You must install iTunes on your PC before visiting the
site. You can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.)
If you're interested in creating informational podcasts of your
own, it's easy and help is available to get you started. Contact
the iTunes Team at itunes-team@acesag.auburn.edu.**From Agricultural
