The Robert J. Kolenkow and Robert A. Reitz Fund for Undergraduate Research was established by David Ignat in 2007 to support students pursuing research projects during summer or winter breaks.

The fund seeks to expand the opportunities for research beyond Carleton’s campus to research universities, including areas that are not always well represented at an undergraduate college.
