Cornell Summer Research Institute
The 10-week Cornell Summer Research Institute (CSRI) pairs students with faculty for collaborative research projects. As a CSRI student researcher, you'll make connections within the living-learning community and become familiar with the other student-faculty research projects on campus. At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll be better prepared for life after Cornell in your work or in grad school.
- Conduct independent research in your area of interest.
- Develop additional skills that CEOs and managers uniformly highlight as essential for college graduate employees.
- Connect what you're learning to real world applications.
