=0A ACS Inter= national Activities is at an exciting point in the International Research E= xperience for Undergraduates (IREU) program. The program, with generous sup= port from the National Science Foundation, is a unique study abroad opportu= nity for undergraduate students to conduct a summer research project in a f= oreign country. This program involves both U.S. students and students from = our international partner universities. While the 2014 delegation gave oral= presentations =0Aon their experiences at the ACS National Meeting in Denve= r last month, we are busy preparing for our 17 new U.S. students to depart = for their summer programs this year. IREU students will spend ten weeks wor= king with foreign faculty on a research project and taking in the local cul= tures of Germany, Italy, Singapore and the United Kingdom. With such a uniq= ue mission that blends science and culture, IREU benefits both the students= and the universities involved and is certainly a most successful education= al =0Aand outreach program.
