Each year, the eight-week program brings around 40 undergraduate students from across the country to the campus. Over the past four decades, more than 1,000 participants have completed the initiative, receiving mentorship, attending workshops, and taking part in community-building activities across a wide range of academic subjects.

Dr. Brianna Davis Johnson, who leads the program, emphasized the importance of engaging scholars from diverse backgrounds to address complex societal issues through research. Mentors work alongside students to build practical skills, including data collection, analysis, and formal presentations. Dr. Jeremy Grant, an assistant professor of psychology and program mentor, noted that participants work through every step of the research lifecycle while learning how to articulate the significance of their studies.

For participants, the program often serves as a key stepping stone toward graduate education. Student participant Meseret Alemu, a first-generation college student, shared that the program offered guidance on the graduate school application process that she otherwise lacked. Building on the research she conducted during the summer, Alemu will present her findings at an upcoming international conference in Boston.
