Many students whoparticipate in REU programs remember these programs long after the program is complete. TheREU experience of working with a faculty mentor on bona fide research is undoubtedly key tothe educational and career planning benefits that students enjoy. The best REU experiencestypically don’t happen by accident. They must be deliberately planned. Despite the importanceof this component of REU programs, minimal literature related REU social programs exists.This paper considers what makes a strong REU social program.1
