Hey guys! I was blessed by being accepted into a REU for this summer with it being 40 hours a week. So the program runs for 10 weeks and I also had to chance to get a scholarship to go to a International science for a week out of the country. So how should I approach it? Should i tell the REU director if she can allow me to leave for a week? Or should I tell my International Science fair mentor to talk with the Reu director so she can convince herself.
