This page is for all undergraduate students who have been accepted into the 2020 RMBL Undergraduate Summer Program. You have been accepted, if you have received an acceptance letter by email. We typically send out acceptance letters in March.

Once you have decided to join our program at RMBL, please make a $500 online deposit to secure your spot. The deposit is not refundable, if you decide not to come to RMBL this summer.  The 40 education spots are filled on a first come, first served basis and our program typically fills up by late March.  Once we receive your $500 online deposit, we will confirm with you whether you have a spot in our program.

If you decide to accept, please immediately pay your $500 deposit. The deposit can be paid by using the following link here:

You will interact with a number of RMBL people both before and during your stay. Your mentor will primarily help you plan the dates you will be in Gothic and help you develop your project.  Our Administration Office (phone: 970-349-7231 or email: office@rmbl.org) can provide assistance with logistics (e.g., travel, how RMBL works) and help with questions that you have but aren’t certain who to ask. Dr. Rosemary Smith will coordinate your program (rsmith@rmbl.org) and she can answer any of your program/research related questions. She will organize the weekly meetings you will have this summer and will serve as an additional resource person on your project.
