Alumni Research Fellowship Endowment Campaign

We want to thank everyone who has contributed towards our campaign to endow an Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). We strongly believe research is integral to the educational experience of a student. Students engaged in the research process develop analytical and critical thinking skills applicable to all career paths open to the chemistry major. Most students conduct their research projects during the academic year, but treating their projects as part-time endeavors partly negates the benefits. For this reason, the faculty strongly believe full-time summer research has the greatest impact on student learning.

Under Fund Designation, make sure that Chemistry SURF Endowment is selected.
If not, your donation will go elsewhere.
