Funded by the National Science Foundation, SURE is an intensive 9-week research experience that pairs early-career students with a Truman faculty member for a one-on-one mentored research project. Students will live and work in a multidisciplinary community of science and
mathematics scholars during the summer. In addition to their research, they will attend workshops on personal and professional
development, and participate in other community building activities.
