Summer Undergraduate Research
The SURE program is a ten-week summer program during which undergraduate research fellows conduct full-time independent research under the direction of a faculty mentor. Our summer researchers receive a housing award for residence on the Oxford College campus and a stipend to support their full-time attention to research training and professional development. Students are expected to participate in SURE for roughly 40 hours a week, which encompasses research time with faculty mentor and other SURE required programming. Students also travel once a week to the Atlanta campus (transportation provided) to participate in required SURE professional workshops and ethics seminars with SURE-Atlanta participants.
Student researchers benefit from hands-on research, mentorship, networking opportunities, and graduate school preparation. SURE provides an opportunity for students to discuss research and start building their professional network with world-renowned researchers and the best and brightest peers from Emory and other institutions. SURE students come from all backgrounds and disciplines including the humanities, arts, social sciences, natural sciences, physical sciences and engineering.
