Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) Program

The Kellogg School of Science and Technology invites applications from students who are interested in its ten-week Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) Program; a program provides its participants the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research in one of our laboratories side by side with our world-renowned faculty.
The goals of the program are to (1) increase the number of underrepresented and first-generation to college students who consider careers in biomedical research; (2) make program participants feel comfortable in a lab setting and increase their research skills; (3) teach participants to think critically about the theory and application of biomedical research; and (4) increase the participants’ proficiency in communicating scientific concepts.
Students can choose to apply to either the La Jolla campus in California or the Jupiter campus in Florida with one application. Apply here.
Program Dates
June 10 - August 16, 2013 (ten weeks)
Start and end dates are flexible and can be adjusted based on the participant's schedule; however, participants must complete ten-weeks.

Welcome to the BME Academic Office Undergraduate blog!

This blog exists mostly for informational purposes for BME Undergraduate Students, to answer questions, highlight opportunities, and provide a place where students can find out what's going on.  The idea is to reduce the need for email, and to give students a place to find things out quickly, as well as be interactive with the Academic Office, and other students.  This tab, "What's New", will consist of news, updates, information, reminders, etc.  It is tied to "Labels" on the right side for easy searching. 

Besides the informational tabs, there is a one about and for students called "Spotlight", which will be a place to highlight awards and accomplishments, among other things.  We don't always know what's going on, so if you have been recognized for something, or know someone who has, let us know!  It will also be a place where we will randomly select students to tell a little about themselves, and where you can upload things such as study abroad blogs, class videos, etc.  Material included here is up to the discretion of the Academic Office staff. 

Another tab for students is labeled "Promotion".  We get quite a few requests for emails about events or meetings to be sent to all BME students.  We don't send them all out.  But we can put those under this tab, so you can see what groups or meetings that other students are trying to promote.  Note that groups that have a direct connection with BME will still also have their notices sent via email, such as BMES, AEMB, SAB, GTNeuro, BROS and the Pioneer. 

Our last tab "Slivers", is for us, members of the Academic Office.  Here we will post anything we want, either fun or serious, related to BME or not.   

Check the site often, there will usually be something new!
