CISS Names 2022-23 Cohort of Undergraduate Research Interns and Mentors
The Center is pleased to announce the second annual cohort of funded undergraduate research interns and their faculty mentors. The paid internship program matches undergraduate students with faculty researchers, and provides interns first-hand experience with all aspects of the research process – including data collection, analysis, and writing. A research showcase in April 2023 will feature presentations by the 2022-23 cohort of student intern-mentor teams. Stay tuned for more information on the interns, their projects, and their future career plans in a future Digest and our social media sites.
