INTRODUCTION
We hope that this handbook will provide easily accessible guidance on creating and running an engaging and inclusive REU program, or Research Experience for Undergraduates. The insights in this handbook were generously shared by members of the GEO REU community over the last decade. We aim to update this handbook regularly with new editions.
