A Carthage College student conducts research in biology with Prof. Andrea Henle. The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program, provides students with the opportunity to be active participants in an independent research or creative project under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

Students selected for the SURE program receive a stipend to support 10 weeks of full-time research and creative activities between June and August, 2021. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 summer program will be remote; if safety guidelines allow, summer housing and a meal plan may also be provided.

The divisions of natural and social sciences, professional studies, and arts and humanities invite applications from students in their first through third year of study at Carthage. Each division evaluates proposals and supports their own faculty and student collaborations.

Applications are due Monday, March 15. SURE 2021 award winners will be announced in early April.

Please note: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the safety measures we have implemented on campus, we invite proposals for summer 2021 SURE projects that are either fully remote or in-person with appropriate COVID safety precautions.

Interested students should speak with a project mentor/faculty member before completing the SURE application. Faculty mentors support student research and creative activity during the summer SURE program. Applicants apply to the division of their proposed project and faculty mentor.
