Apply to the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program: Deadline March 24
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 2023. Students participating on campus will receive standard campus room and board and a meal plan.
The divisions of Natural and Social Sciences, Professional Studies, and Arts and Humanities invite students in their first through third year of study at Carthage to apply. Each division evaluates proposals and supports their own faculty and student collaborations.
