Abstract: The 1995 Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the Oklahoma Weather Center introduced 14 students to the rigor of meteorological research, as well as provided them with information to help make informed career decisions. A unique portion of the summer program was the students' participation in the 1995 Verification of the Origins of Tornadoes Experiment, in which they collected data on convective storms. Participation in the program exposed students to the logistics of a major field program and taught them about tornadic storms. The program used a mentorship approach to teach the students how to conduct research. By working with a mentor, each student was exposed to the method of scientific research through direct interaction with a research scientist. An evaluation of the program found that it helped all students to develop confidence in their ability to do research and to be better educated about their career options.
