Overview:
|
Each
summer the yale surf program brings a group of qualified
undergraduates to yale for eight weeks. The experience is
meant to familiarize students with the kind of work they
can expect to do in graduate school, provide them with insight
into the many steps involved in building a career based
on ph.d. Level training, as well as foster a sense of confidence
regarding their own abilities and potential. Students are
immersed in an academic, professional setting Involving
a working relationship with a faculty mentor, a program
of individual research, and participation in a series of
program workshops and panel discussions.
The focus of the program is primarily on research and on
the methods of professional research. Students in the natural
sciences learn advanced laboratory methods and conduct research
under the guidance of a faculty mentor with postdoctoral
associates and senior graduate students serving as sources
of technical support. Students in the humanities and social
sciences work closely with faculty mentors and have at their
disposal the considerable archival resources found in the
yale university libraries. Because of the largely independent
nature of their work, these students have more flexibility
in structuring their own research schedules. Emphasis is
also placed on the presentation of research findings to
colleagues. All students give a final presentation to their
peers, submit a written paper and attend the leadership
alliance conference to present their research at the meeting.
