Eleven undergraduates from universities across the country were selected to participate in the PEER 2011 Summer Internship. During the program they will participate in state-of-the-art research at one of the host sites: University of Washington, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, or the San Francisco Planning & Urban Research Association (SPUR). They will start their 10-week summer research experience at their host research site on June 13, 2011, and will finish on August 24, 2011. The interns will present their research projects during a poster session at the 2011 PEER Annual Meeting in the fall.
