Paid Summer Research Internship Opportunity — Deadline Approaching

I represent the Southern California Earthquake Center recruitment for our 2013 undergraduate internship program.  Currently, we are looking for many more geology and computer science applicants for our paid summer internships UseIT and SURE.  We heavily recruit from University of Washington, so we are looking to give more of your geology and computer science students the opportunity to apply before the February 25th priority deadline.  If you could please email our internship information to your undergraduate students it would be much appreciated.

We look forward to having some of your brightest students at our summer internship.
