The SURE program provides students with an opportunity to perform significant, publishable research under the guidance of an experienced faculty researcher at the College.

The research experience will help to provide students with a competitive advantage in graduate and professional school applications and in post-college employment opportunities, as well as to provide assistance to faculty in research activities.
