Student Recruitment Opportunity – Mid-SURE

ATTENTION:

Graduate Program Coordinators

We invite your department to join us for a Graduate School Fair, held concurrently with the 12th  Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences (Mid-SURE) on Wednesday, July 27, 2022 from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility.  

Mid-SURE is an opportunity for undergraduates involved in research and creative activities to share their work with their peers, faculty, and external audiences. Last year, nearly 350 undergraduates from MSU and other institutions presented their faculty-mentored research in areas including: agriculture and animal science, biological sciences, engineering, environmental science, health sciences, physical sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences. Approximately one-third of the student participants are from under-represented minority populations. The students are working with MSU faculty members on a 10-12 week undergraduate research experience.

We expect that Mid-SURE 2022 will feature more than 400 undergraduate research presentations. In addition to undergraduates studying at institutions in Michigan, Mid-SURE also includes students from across the nation who participate in summer research experiences at MSU and other colleges in this region. By featuring the work of numerous programs, Mid-SURE offers students the opportunity to present their research to a broader audience and offers graduate recruiters access to a diverse group of largely domestic undergraduate researchers, including students from populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM. 

Registration Information 

Registration is now open and will close in early July.  The $75 registration fee includes: lunch for up to two recruiters, a 4-foot table with two chairs, validated parking, and contact information for student participants who wish to hear from graduate recruiters.
