The Summer Research Institute: “Summer Research Boot Camp.”  

The purpose of the Summer Research Institute’s “Summer Research Boot Camp” is to help scholars create a plan that will allow them to balance research with other summer professional and personal responsibilities.

Brief weekly check-ins with a partner (via email, telephone, or Teams) and once-monthly (June, July, August), facilitator-led, small group check-ins will provide community and the necessary accountability to maintain consistency throughout the summer months.
