Summer Research Group

±á´Ç±è±ð’s Summer Undergraduate Research Function (SURF) program is among the largest summer research programs in the country in natural and applied sciences among liberal arts institutions. Unlike student research opportunities during the academic year, SURF is a paid research program, so you will not receive credit.
