Announcement  - Remote Learning

If you have applied for the Summer Research Program, please know we are continuing to prepare for it as always. We are reviewing applications, planning associated events (including the Summer Research Conference) and working with our partners to make sure projects can be completed remotely if necessary and that housing or a housing allowance will be provided to all participants as well as a stipend.

While the Summer Research Program will be virtual this year and we are committed to bringing a solid experience to all students involved. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions about the program in general or your specific SRP program.
