As you may know, our office is launching a summer research program called the Student-Proposed Innovation & Research Experience (SPIRE). This program provides opportunities for undergraduates to work closely with faculty mentors on summer research projects while actively engaging with the broader community of SPIRE researchers. I am writing to share the news that we have extended our deadline for submitting a pre-proposal to the program to Monday, February 19, 2024 at 11:59 pm. If you'd like more information about SPIRE and the proposal process, please visit the program website.
