Mason S.U.R.E. Program
S.U.R.E.: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience
The S.U.R.E. Program is a partnership between the Graduate Division and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), as part of their Hire-ED initiative. To gain knowledge of and conduct research with a faculty member here at Mason, undergraduate participants from local Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will be invited to work in a lab and conduct research alongside Mason graduate students and faculty. This 8 week summer program will culminate with participants having a written research paper and presenting a poster at a research symposium.
Hire-ED
Hire-ED is a signature initiative of DEI. As an office they are committed to creating pathways for diverse scholars to further their academic scholarship and serve as a support for their academic pursuits. The goal of this initiative is to offer racial/ethnically diverse undergraduate and graduate students’ opportunities for research and post-graduate opportunities (i.e. graduate school admission, post-docs, and faculty positions). In line with this goal, DEI is partnering with the Graduate Division to bring the S.U.R.E. Program to Mason and our partners.
