Dominican University New York’s Summer Undergraduate Research Internships give students the chance to delve deep into research while living on campus, and being paid a $4,000 stipend during the initial six weeks of summer.
“The summer research program gives interns the freedom to work on open-ended problems as they gain valuable research experience,” said Colleen Evans, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Project Director. “The interns are exposed to different disciplines and have the opportunity for in-depth study. By the end of the six weeks, participants grow in knowledge and confidence, while learning to work as a team.“
Twelve students from Dominican University and local community colleges participated in the program and studied either biochemistry, organic chemistry. biodiversity, or computational modeling. The program culminated with students presenting their research to fellow students and mentors. The U.S. Department of Education funds the program through the SOHLIS project.
