The chosen undergraduates taking part in this ten-week program will receive hands-on nanoscience and technology experience through research, with applications to bio-engineering, chemistry, electronics, materials science, optics, optoelectronics, physics, and the life sciences. CNF REU interns work with their assigned faculty and graduate students on projects using the unique resources offered at CNF and Cornell University

experience: We are an ACS Bridge Partner program, part of department-wide efforts to increase equity and inclusion in the chemical sciences. All PhD students are provided a Travel Fellowship to present their research at national conferences. Our seminar program hosts research leaders from academia and industry to connect with our students. Graduate students are active in outreach programs at local schools. Students attend professional development workshops tailored to their chosen career paths. Students

SCRI Summer Scholars Program (SSSP) Posted by: nicolacs / December 7, 2022 December 7, 2022 In partnership with the Center for Diversity and Health Equity, the Office for Teaching, Education and Research is excited to offer our SCRI Summer Scholars Program (SSSP). The goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students with a background that is historically underrepresented in the biomedical and health sciences an opportunity to engage in basic, clinical and/or translational research

their freshmen year of college but not yet graduated and must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. Students from a variety of majors will be considered including chemistry, biochemistry, all engineering majors and environmental sciences. Underrepresented groups in science are strongly encouraged to apply, including minorities, women, and first-generation college students. Applications due –  03/01/2023 Experience begins –  05/30/2023 Experience ends –  08/04

. The research exemplifies how the PLU sciences strive to offer novel research opportunities to any biology minor or major. Laurie-Berry says that summer research programs often present students with the only chance to do hands-on, original research—which means participants need 10 summer weeks free to be in the lab. This isn’t easy for those with summer jobs or other commitments. “Offering student-faculty research opportunities to a broader range of students is important to me and our department

gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics
