Lead by Physics professor Dr. Matt Wiesner, Benedictine University has been selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Energy’s $70 million grant program to support research by historically underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With this selection, the BenU Physics program receives a RENEW-HEP grant, which provides support for research opportunities and diversified leadership in the physical sciences.
RENEW-Midwest is a new partnership between Benedictine University, the University of Michigan, and Black Hills State University to help students interested in astronomy and physics to complete a degree and be competitive for advanced study in physics and astronomy. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science RENEW-HEP grant, Benedictine University is recruiting students interested in physics and astronomy to a multi-year research program at Benedictine and the University of Michigan. The RENEW-HEP grant is targeted to increase the participation of underrepresented minority students in physics and astronomy; however, students from any background will be considered.
