The REEES Undergraduate Think Tank is a national program based at The Ohio State University and Howard University. Undergraduate Think Tank scholars in our program collaborate in student-driven research teams with faculty mentors from across the United States. They participate in the Summer Research Lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; present at national conferences; and publish digital projects on this site. Student scholars have access to celebrated research collections and scholarly databases, networking opportunities, and professional development workshops. We are developing a new generation of specialists in REEES and supporting innovative career paths, research agendas, and relationship-building capacity in the field. This national program is building a sustainable nationwide research and support network as well as a culture of belonging among university centers, faculty mentors, and undergraduate students underrepresented and underserved in this field.
