Rubin Undergraduate Network
Chair: Matthew Wiesner
The Rubin Undergraduate Network (RUN) is a group of faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions involved with Rubin and Rubin science collaborations. We are looking for ways to better involve undergraduates in Rubin data and research and ways to support and collaborate with other researchers at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and beyond.
Please contact the session chair with any questions, or if you'd like to volunteer to speak or help with this session.
