CIMR is proud to host a yearly Summer Research Academy (SRA) in June for undergraduate students interested in a wide variety of research opportunities.
At SRA, students are introduced to foundational concepts in research through dynamic activities, and learn about current research projects and studies through panel discussions and presentations by current undergraduates, graduates, professors, and industry professionals. SRA is also a great place for students to learn more about the varied research opportunities at Portland State and beyond! Participating students attend a mixture of lectures-style sessions, interactive presentations, tabling fair and more! Participating students also received $250 for attending all 3-days of programming. Visit the SRA Google Site to learn more.
The goals of Summer Research Academy in 2024 were to:
- Start developing student’s research interests and identities
- Broaden student’s understanding of research
- Motivate students to develop tangible next steps in their career exploration
- Practice new skills in networking, interviewing, and interpersonal communication
