Summer Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI)

SURI Logo

 

SURI was founded in the summer 2020 and is housed in the College鈥檚 Research Aligned Mentorship (RAM) Program 鈥� a college-wide initiative that provides support for students engagingin undergraduate research projects in nearly all of the College鈥檚 undergraduate academic disciplines. Each summer, SURI recruits and supports first and second-year students to participate in a research experience supervised and mentored by Farmingdale Faculty. SURI鈥檚 model mirrors the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) by engaging cohorts of students in research projects related to a theme or cross-disciplinary interests. Through participation in the SURI, students are introduced to a new world of intellectual investigation and research. For many, this is their first formalized undergraduate research experience with the goal of furthering the interest and pursuit of academic and applied research.
