Valentine selected for prestigious research program

Stephanie Valentine

Stephanie Valentine, a junior computer science major, has been selected to receive a fully funded summer research opportunity. Stephanie will participate in the CDC/CRA-W Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU). One of 80 students selected from 500 applicants, she will do research with Prof. Tracy Hammond of Texas A&M University.

DREU is a highly selective program that matches promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution. DREU’s objective is to increase the number of women and students from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and engineering.
