TREK Program Overview:

This is a PAID research program open to local High School science teachers, as well as a student of their choice.  For six weeks over the summer, teacher and student participants will gain valuable research experience working alongside Marshall University professors. Teachers participating in TREK will also attend three online graduate courses through WVU that will enhance their research experience, guide them through classroom implementation, and deepen their understanding of the ethics of science.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2014-2015 TREK Program at www.marshall.edu/trek. If you would like to participate, be sure to submit your application ASAP (space is limited). The deadline for applying is April 11, 2014.

TREK Testimonial:

“I have been a part of the TREK program the past two summers and have absolutely enjoyed the experience.  I believe that it has given my students some insight into real research and helped them prepare for the transition to college.  I have already had a couple of students approach me about being part of the TREK program and I still use what I have gained within my classroom.  I am glad that it is being offered for another year and hopefully for many years to come.  What a great thing you all are doing at Marshall, WVU and WVSU.” –James Coble, Spring Valley High
