Students in the program are matched up with a member of Stanford\u2019s faculty and conduct their research projects in the university\u2019s state-of-the-art laboratories. The program culminates in a symposium where students present talks and posters on their summer projects to Stanford faculty, lab mentors and university administrators.\u00a0 In addition to their time in the lab, students in the program also participate in science field trips, graduate education workshops and social outings, allowing for networking opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
