Distinctive Collaborations Between Students & Faculty

The Summer Research Institute (SRI) provides summer funding, subsidized campus housing, and supportive programming for students conducting STEM research under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

SRI provides a common experience for students, providing training and opportunities to build skills, along with faculty lectures, alumnae panel discussions, social events, and more. The summer concludes with the Lida Orzeck '68 Poster Session, where students present the progress of their research.
