What is ALFALFA-U?

ALFALFA-U or the Undergraduate ALFALFA Team (UAT) is a consortium of 25 institutions engaged in an NSF-sponsored program to promote undergraduate research within the ALFALFA project and followup programs. Partnering with Arecibo and Green Bank Observatories, the UAT has worked with more than 334 undergraduates and 32 faculty, offering annual workshops, observing runs, research projects (academic year and summer), and presentation of results and networking at national meetings.
