Summer In Sum: 117 Student Researchers!

As we welcome the beginning of a new school year, the next few posts will highlight our summer programs. Here's what you missed as far as student research this summer at CSE:

The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program supported 111 research fellows in 35 different departments or research units. Students from Emory and Oxford Colleges and 23 other schools shared their research with the Emory community at the program's capstone poster session. SURE is primarily funded by our Howard Hughes Medical Institute award but draws additional support from a variety of sources. Rising senior Wen Zhang, whose work was supported by the Center for Chemical Evolution, celebrates a summer well spent (see photo).

Another CSE-supported program, the International Research Experience in Science (IRES), supported six Emory undergraduates for 10+ weeks of full-time research and cultural immersion in England, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Ireland and Ecuador. Learn more about their experiences and see some great pictures at the IRES blog.

Coming up next time on the CSE blog: hear about our PREP, HUES Summer Institute, and teacher programs!
