Thirty Eberly College students selected for Summer Undergraduate Research Experience
Through
West Virginia University’s
Office of Undergraduate Research, students can participate in research as early
as their first semester on campus. Every semester, many Eberly College students
take advantage of the resources provided by this office to match with faculty conducting
research in their disciplines. The
Summer Undergraduate Research Experience is an eight-week summer undergraduate
research experience for students interested in careers in research or graduate
school
within their disciplines. The selected students receive a stipend and conduct
research full-time during those eight weeks. Congratulations to the 30 Eberly College
students participating in SURE for 2019!
