CISS Names Recipients of Funded Undergraduate Internships

The Center is pleased to announce the second annual cohort of funded undergraduate research interns and their faculty mentors. The 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 on Thursday April 14, 2022 will feature presentations by the 2021-22 cohort of student intern-mentor teams. More information on the interns, their projects, and their future career plans will be forthcoming on the CISS website. Congratulations to the interns and their mentors!
