Summer Research Program

The UC DIGSSS Summer Research Program is designed to engage students in the development of their own research and to advance their timely degree completion. A total of thirteen students were selected to participate in the 2008 Summer Research Program.

The program lasts for ten weeks; students receive a stipend and are required to attend weekly professional development seminars. Students also participate in a research colloquium where they present their research to faculty mentors, university staff and graduate student peers.
