> open to undergraduates in the social sciences. There are precious
> few opportunities for our students to find serious, funded summer
> research, so please look them over. Tech faculty are spectacular at
> encouraging active engagement with learning in its undergrads, so
> your students will be in good hands! Mary

> industrial systems, (3) societal systems, and (4) integrative
> initiatives that join all three of these areas.
