Students Present Research Findings at the William Lee Science Impact Program Poster Session

Morgane works with Wei Cui, PhD. Steve and Taylor work with Kim Tremblay, PhD.

The William Lee Science Impact Program (Lee SIP) is a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program designed to expand and broaden participation in undergraduate research. The program provides students the opportunity to work on fun, novel, and interesting scientific questions by matching them with faculty members with similar research interests. The Lee Science Impact Program offers highly competitive fellowships to selected applicants.

Lee SIP Scholars are mentored directly by research faculty, work within a research team, and participate in professional development workshops—activities that will prepare them for a wide range of science-based careers. Participants will gain experience using principles of the scientific method to develop research proposals, evaluating scientific data, formulating conclusions, and effectively communicating scientific findings to experts and general audiences. The goal of the program is to create opportunities for all undergraduate students to engage directly in the cutting-edge research occurring on campus, including those from traditionally underrepresented groups in science disciplines, such as first-generation college students.
