Dear IONiC community,

I'm sure many of you are in a similar situation right now, so I thought I'd post a general plea to VIPEr-space. Things are tighter than usual for us this summer with respect to supporting summer research students. Most of our students tend to stay here to do summer research, with only a handful going to other REU programs or internships. But this summer we have many more qualified students than we have positions.

Do any of your schools give faculty teaching credit for doing undergraduate research? It seems like some of you have a required senior thesis and you get some credit for supervising some number of those.

Are there any other ways you're "rewarded" for supervising undergraduate research?
