Hello Students,

The Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences in Environmental Health (SURE-EH) program provides up to two years of hourly employment to UW undergraduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to conduct research in areas relevant to the environmental health sciences and the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences [niehs.nih.gov].

Students accepted into the program will work alongside faculty and research staff in the School of Public Health’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Science (DEOHS).

Students,

The Society of Advanced Rocket Propulsion (SARP) is launching UW to space! Apply here [forms.gle]!

SARP is an engineering technical team built on offering students a hands-on opportunity to apply what they learn in class to interesting projects normally outside the scope of a university.

We are currently developing a liquid bipropellant engine (what NASA or SpaceX uses) to participate in the Dollar per Foot (DPF) challenge with the Friends of Amateur Rocketry. Our goal is to scale up to 12 inches this year and eventually launch to space in 2025. No matter your experience, someone on this team will be able to teach you the necessary skills to become a great engineer, whether that’s in propulsion, electrical, or structural engineering and everything in between.

To learn more about us, feel free to reach out to sarpuw@gmail.com or look at our website at sarpuw.com [sarpuw.com].
