LEARNING COMMUNITY: Concordia students and mentors engaged in summer research and creative scholarship are part of a learning community that includes skill-building workshops, online ethics and safety training, career-readiness support, networking, and social activities.
WORKSHOPS: Skill-building and career-readiness workshops for students will be held from 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. in ISC 201 on Tuesdays from 3 – 24 June. Additional optional workshops may also be offered.
ONLINE TRAINING: All URSCA scholars are required to complete the CITI RCR training course, plus any additional courses necessary for their specific research (e.g. chemical safety, human subjects, animal care and use).
PEAK: Students may earn a PEAK for their research or creative activity and URSCA program participation by completing a few additional assignments.
SOCIAL TIME: In addition to the Wednesday networking lunches, a variety of social activities will be available to students and mentors throughout the summer. Ideas and suggestions welcomed!
