Student Researchers


Summer Research:
A Lasting Experience

Your experience at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute will last well beyond the summer. By participating in the URGE program, you will gain the knowledge and skills that you will one day need in graduate school or your career. If you are unsure of what you would like to do after graduation, your experience may help guide you in which direction to take. Many students from the 2005 Summer Session reported that by conducting a summer research project they now have a better idea of what they would like to do after graduation.

You will have the opportunity to meet with students and faculty from other schools, be surrounded by others who share the same interest as you, and have the chance to share your success and setbacks. The staff at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute will support you through your project.

If your school is a member of the consortium, and you would like to learn more about the URGE program, please contact one of your professors or email Matt Dykstra, Executive Director, and he will connect you with a member of the Advisory Board from your school.
