Each summer, the Sustainability Summer Research Program at the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation selects students to participate in advanced, hands-on research.
This program goes beyond the classroom curriculum, enabling students to develop their ideas and work independently. We are pleased to announce that out of the 27 students selected for the 2024 program, 7 are from GES.
We look forward to seeing their results at the Undergraduate Research Symposium!
