<Title>Stories from Spanish 101 - Winter 2013</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Students in SPAN 101, an elementary Spanish language class used digital storytelling to improve their language skills. The assignment was composed of two parts. 
    
    1. In a wiki, students (individually) write a letter to Juana, a student who has a fantastic apartment in which they want to live.  In this letter, students explain to Juana (in Spanish) who they are, what they like to do and their daily routine.  
    
    2. For the digital story, students team up in groups of three to create a digital story. For the digital story, the students (a) use the content that they developed individually in the wiki, (b) combine their content with their teammates' content to make a coherent story.

<Title>Summer 2013 Research Opportunity on Robotics</Title>
<Tagline>GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is proud to be offering eight 10-week paid summer research internships for undergraduate students. 
            
    The focus of this NSF-funded REU Site is Robotics, including Machine Perception, Motion Planning, Flying Robots, Haptic Interfaces, Dynamics and Control, Humanoid Robots, Robotic Surgery, and Robot Design. Each student will enjoy the following features of our program:<br>
            <br>
            - Advising by a GRASP faculty member<br>
            - Daily mentorship by a graduate student or postdoc<br>
            - Weekly lunches with program organizers and all other REU
            students<br>
            - The opportunity to learn fundamental skills in engineering and
            mathematics needed to engage in multidisciplinary robotics
            research <br>
            - A $5000 stipend for the summer, plus travel and food
            allowances <br>
            - Free housing on campus, just a few minutes walk from the GRASP
            Lab <br>
            - Fun social and educational activities, including advice on
            graduate school<br>
            <br>
            We welcome applications from US citizens and permanent
            residents.  We are particularly interested in applicants from
            groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science,
            technology, engineering, and mathematics (low-income, ethnic and
            racial minorities, first generation college students, and
            women).</div>

<Title>Summer Opportunity for Students in Education/Psychology</Title>
<Tagline>Carngie Mellon/University of Pittsburgh: Deadline Feb. 15</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have
            an exciting opportunity summer research experience for
            undergradates (REU) available for undergraduates.  <br>
            <br>
            This REU program is sponsored by LearnLab, a Science of Learning
            Center funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).   We
            encourage applications from students who would like to conduct
            research in the fields of psychology, education, computer
            science, human-computer interfaces and language technologies.
            LearnLab's REU program allows talented undergraduates to spend 8
            weeks during the summer in a research laboratory at Carnegie
            Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, or one of our
            research partners.  The REU program supports LearnLab's
            commitment to training a diverse set of science, technology,
            education, and psychology leaders.<br>
            <br>
            Applications are encouraged from students who wish to learn to
            conduct research in a modern academic research laboratory under
            the guidance of experienced scientists and engineers and
            experiment in real classroom environments. The REU program will
            expose students to the excitement and opportunities of a
            research career. This experience will provide excellent
            preparation for students interested in subsequently pursuing a
            Masters or Ph.D. degree. Although students from other years may
            apply, this opportunity is most fitting for a student at the end
            of the junior year of undergraduate studies.<br>
            <br>
            Each student will receive a fellowship stipend of $4000 for the
            eight-week REU program. Food, housing and travel will also be
            provided. Students will conduct research in an area matched to
            the interests expressed in the student's application. Guidance
            and supervision of the research project will be provided by the
            faculty member as well as, in some cases, a postdoctoral fellow
            and/or advanced graduate student.<br>
            <br>
            Seminars specific to those participating in the REU program will
            be held weekly including seminars on graduate admissions and
            career opportunities in science, education, computer science and
            engineering. In addition, LearnLab seminars and those held by
            Carnegie Mellon's Human Computer Interaction Institute and
            Language Technologies Institute and seminars at Pitt's Language
            Research and Development Center will be open to the students,
            giving them exposure to a wide range of research in learning
            sciences.<br>
            <br>
            There are several benefits that the participating students may
            receive. If the student’s research in the summer is of high
            quality and has added value to an ongoing research project, past
            students have been asked to be a coauthor on the research team's
            publication on that subject. Addition of publications to the
            resume of a graduate school applicant always greatly improves
            the application.  If the quality of the research is high, the
            faculty member who advised the student would likely be willing
            to write a letter of recommendation for the student which could
            be included in a graduate school application. Research
            experience in one of the National Science Foundation's premier
            research centers will be viewed attractively. Finally, a summer
            spent in one of the National Science Foundation's premier
            project areas is a plus in an application whether it be for
            entry to Carnegie Mellon or the University of Pittsburgh or to
            any other institution.<br>
            <br>
            There are scholarships available for graduate work on projects
            in LearnLab. The student should inquire about these
            possibilities during the summer program.<br>
            <br>
            REU Program Dates: Students will begin their research experience
            on Sunday, June 2, 2013 with a welcoming reception and
            information session.  The REU program will end on Friday July
            26, 2013 with a poster session in the afternoon. Submission of
            an application indicates that the applicant agrees to be present
            from June 2 to 4pm July 26, 2013 inclusive.<br>
            <br>
            Application Deadline: Deadline for applications is February 15,
            2013. Students will be informed of our decision by March 1,
            2013.<br>
            <br>
            Minimum Requirements: Students should have a minimum of 3.5 GPA
            out of 4.0 although we will consider students who show by other
            measures that they are exceptional and who have GPAs over 3.2.
            Class standing and grades in specific subjects that are close to
            the field of research will also be considered, as are
            recommendations.<br>
            <br>
            Number of slots/ positions available: LearnLab can accommodate
            as many as 10 positions, although in any given year, we may
            decide to fund less than 10 applicants</div>

          <p>The  James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute
     provides a unique opportunity for  young scientists to work alongside some of the leading researchers in urology  and oncology while utilizing a broad range of techniques and methodologies. The  Department has the unique ability of providing young researchers with a chance to see how research done at the bench can be translated into patient care. </p>
          <p>In  addition to the vast amount of research 
    experience that will be gained during  the 10 week program, students 
    will be given numerous opportunities to attend <a href="http://urology.jhu.edu/research/lectures.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">lectures and  seminars</a>
