To Friends and Alumni of SJU:
Our Center for Undergraduate Research (CUR) is in need of your help in expanding research opportunities for our students. Here are several ways that you can contribute:
A. Through tax-advantaged contributions, you and/or your company can help by providing funds to support the CUR and its programming for SJU undergraduates. One important program is the Summer Scholars Program which allocates stipends to deserving undergraduates so they can pursue faculty mentored research in the summer. Funding can be directed to general CUR programming as well as specific initiatives that can impact research experiences for under-represented groups, first-generation college students, and specific or interdisciplinary research .
Through tax-advantaged contributions, you and/or your company can fund high-profile CUR Events at SJU. These include the
Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium
Annual Undergraduate Research Poster Event
Images of Research and Scholarship Exhibit-Competition
Research Speed-Dating Event
STEM Communications Workshops and Elevator Talk Competitions
Alumni Research Career Panel Events
B. Your company can provide Research Internship or Research Experience Opportunities for SJU undergraduates.
C. You can volunteer to be a Resource Speaker or Guest at our CUR Events
To initiate a conversation, please email the Center for Undergraduate Research Co-Directors Dr. Roberto Ramos (rramos@sju.edu) & Dr. Julia Lee-Soety (jlee04@sju.edu). Thank you !
