Mentor a High School Student!

The Cure Internship for underrepresented high school juniors, is seeking faculty, postdocs or graduate student mentors this summer.

Interns must be supervised directly Monday – Thursday from June 10 – August 2, 2024.
Mentoring teams encouraged so daily supervision can be divided between 2 mentors (for those who aren’t in the lab every day).
For each intern, mentors will receive a $500 stipend. Email Jennifer Seuferer if interested.
