{\bf OVERVIEW: } 
Students in all majors are invited to apply to the Research Experiences 
for Undergraduates (REU) Program in High-Performance Computing to 
be conducted during Summer 1995 at the Northeast Parallel Architectures 
Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University.
Participants in the program receive:

\smallskip
\indent $\bullet$ training in parallel architecture computing
\\
\indent $\bullet$ supervision of an independent research project
\\
\indent $\bullet$ access to NPAC's start-of-the-art computing facilities
\\
\indent $\bullet$ training and experience in technical writing and speaking
\\
\indent $\bullet$ university housing and meals
\\
\indent $\bullet$ a stipend of \$2,500

\smallskip
\noindent
The program begins Sunday, June 4, 1995 and ends Friday, August 11, 1995.

\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf ELIGIBILITY: } 
Applications are welcome from students in all disciplines, 
including computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, communications, 
education, and economics.  No previous experience in high-performance 
computing is required.  Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students, 
who expect to graduate no earlier than December 1995.  Participation in the 
program is restricted to US citizens and permanent residents.
Women and members of 
ethnic/racial groups that traditionally have been under-represented in 
engineering, mathematics and the sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
