Undergraduate experience
The purpose of the Summer Research Team (SRT) Program is to encourage and support the scientific leadership at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in research areas that support the mission and goals of DHS. Each summer, DHS gives the DHS Centers of Excellence (COE), the opportunity to host research teams from MSIs to help advance this goal. The teams consist of a visiting faculty member joined by one or more students to work on current COE projects, under the direction of the COE and the associated research team.
CAOE hosted our largest group of SRTs ever with three teams from Texas Tech University, New York City College of Technology – CUNY and University of North Carolina Pembroke. Students all traveled to Tempe, Arizona this summer to work with ASU faculty on the Tempe campus. At the end of the summer, each team ended their time with a seminar showcasing their summer research.
