理学院 暑期研究计划

Body

我们欢迎所有 SMC理科在读学生 to apply to become a part of our 暑期研究计划. 在十周的课程中, students will work in close collaboration with their choice of a faculty advisor. Students spend the summer (typically after their sophomore or junior year) gaining first-hand experience with genuine scientific research, either on a part of the advisor's ongoing research program or on a project created by the student.

Thanks to the generous donations, the following awards are available for students: 

  • Mal and Sylvia Boyce Scholar Award
  • 罗伯特W. 和Beverly J. 萨默斯研究奖

The 暑期研究计划 includes a variety of activities during the summer, 包括烧烤, 研究会议, 实地考察旅行, 以及各种社交活动. The work culminates with the submission of a formal written research report, 口头陈述, and presentation of results at the Brousseau poster session held on campus each fall.

Students participating in the Brousseau poster session may be selected to present their work at various national and local conferences, including the annual meetings of Sigma Xi and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

夏天的研究 Application Process

Participation in the program is awarded through a School-wide competition. Successful applicants will receive a stipend of $5000, 校园住宿, and a budget for supplies and expenses.

Room to Breathe: Environmental Research Is Just Part of Desiree Sturrock’s Journey

Through the 2023 暑期研究计划, Sturrock has been studying the impact of port pollution on nearby communities. 为她, the research is also one of many ways SMC allows her to “combine everything and make a place for myself.”

乳腺癌研究

Mentored by Biology Professor Khameeka Kitt-Hopper, Natalie Alaniz's (Biology '25) research focused on the role Asef, 一种特殊的细胞蛋白, plays in how quickly breast cancer cells multiply and spread, especially when influenced by Epidermal Growth Factor (a protein that can normally signal cells to grow and divide--a natural fertilizer for cells).

Beyond the 暑期研究计划

In addition to the 暑期研究计划 at SMC, many students participate in research during the academic year. 此外, Saint Mary's students have been accepted into summer research programs at various colleges and universities across the country, and have successfully pursued internships in industry.
