Summer Research Institute 2020 a Success!
Congratulations to the ten incoming students who successfully completed the Cohen Honors College Summer Research Institute with Dr. Heidi Bell, Dr. Gary Brooking, and a group of fantastic peer mentors. SRI students design a collaborative research project in just four days, preparing for future work in labs across campus. The Summer Research Institute is funded by a grant subaward from the National Science Foundation Kansas Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation and receives additional support from the Helen Clay Frick Foundation.
