Summer CI +UR

Summer CI + UR Student Information

The 2026 Summer CI + UR program is May 18 - July 24, 2026.

To participate, students must be in a CI project in the spring and/or fall semester surrounding the summer. CI Mentors nominate highly motivated students for this opportunity and students then apply to the program. The application includes their project proposal.

During the 10 week program, students will work under the guidance of their mentors. In addition, students are invited to attend weekly lunch seminars focused on professional development and ethics.
