Our scholars are reaching great heights!
Wow! Our scholars have not only achieved great things during their summer in our Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), but have been able to garner more successes afterward! In honor of International Day of the Girl, take a look at some of our phenomenal women in STEM fields!
Take a look below some of their latest updates:
