Outreach

The JLab Theory Center is engaged in a range of outreach activities aiming to disseminate its specific knowledge and research to the broader academic community, attract and train future generations of scientists, and promote the awareness and understanding of science in society at large. Programs are aimed at university students at the graduate and undergraduate level, K-12 students in local school systems, and social media audiences.

 

High School Programs

Becoming Enthusiastic About Math and Science (BEAMS):

  • Collaboration between JLab and Newport News City Public Schools;
  • Explaining science to students and teachers.

JSA/JLab High School Mentor Program:

  • Students are typically available 4-6 hours each week to support new or ongoing projects; contact Carol McKisson.  

JSA/JLab High School Summer Honors Program:

  • High-school students work on JLab projects during the Summer, for 6 forty-hour weeks.
Undergraduate Programs

Research Experience for Undergrads (REU):

  • Provides research opportunities for college and university students in accelerator physics and nuclear physics;
  • The students work with ODU faculty and Jefferson Lab staff scientists at Jefferson Lab on their research projects.

Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI):

  • Encourages and prepares students to pursue graduate school for advanced degrees in experimental/theoretical physics and accelerator science;
  • Students contribute to JLab's science program by working on projects under the supervision of Lab scientists, engineers, and users.
Graduate Programs

Hampton University Graduate Studies Program  (HUGS):

  • International school for graduate students;
  • Experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics lectures by internationally renowned lecturers, leaders in their fields;
  • Intensive, interactive, friendly, social and casual program;
  • Recitations, student seminars and student awards;
  • Includes a JSA/HUGS fellowship for developing countries;
  • Offers a Physics Careers workshop.

International Summer Schools on Reaction Theory:

  • The Joint Physics Analysis Center (JPAC) offers a two-week program on hadron physics and reaction theory lectures.
Open to all levels

Remote Experiences for Young Engineers and Scientists (REYES):

  • A virtual international program hosted by ODU to give aspiring Scientists the opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research from experts;
  • The program includes: mini-courses, lectures, activities, STEM panels, social events, etc.

Python4Physics (P4P):

  • Summer program for individuals wanting to learn to program.
