The Disaster Research Center (DRC) at the University of Delaware has successfully completed the 2005 Research Experience for Undergraduates' (REU) program. The ten (10) undergraduate students preformed excellently in hands-on research training which enhance their understanding of the social science aspects of disasters. At this time the DRC will be accepting applications for the summer of 2006 program and looks forward to another successful REU program. Click the link below to visit the DRC.
