Opportunities — Research & Funding

SURE (Student Undergraduate Research Experience)

The SURE program gives students the opportunity to work one on one with a faculty mentor on a significant research project during the summer months. Students stay on campus, receive a research budget and earn a stipend. Students who are interested in SURE should contact a professor or visit the SURE site for more information.
