Computing Sciences hosts its own Summer Student Program
with students from various universities in the United States and abroad.
The program gives students an opportunity to gain relevant research experience
while pursuing their degree. The students are partnering with one or more
staff members on well-defined research projects. Many of their projects,
which they develop at the Lab during the 12-week summer program, become
the basis for their theses. At the end of the summer, the students will
give presentations based on their research findings.
