The
Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Emory (SURE) allows
undergraduate students to conduct supervised research with
a faculty mentor. Students receive training in the research
methods applicable to their research plan, analyze their
data and create written and oral presentations of their
results. At the end of the summer, each participant takes
part in a formal research symposium.
Panels of faculty and graduate students help explore mentoring
issues, and make recommendations on how to choose a graduate
program and how to balance work and family responsibilities.
Speakers address their own involvement in science careers
and the requirements for success in their fields. Weekly
ethics discussions allow students to explore the ethical
aspects of research careers. Awards for popular science
essays [optional submission] and scientific posters are
made at the end of the program. Approved posters and essays
will be published through our program web site.
