What is the LSAMP Scientist Program?
A 9-week summer research program for students with little to no research experience. Students are matched with a faculty mentor for the summer based on similar interests.
Why would students recommend this program?
- “It served as a valuable first step into involving myself in research, along with the other aspects of research like making posters and writing abstracts. It also provided me with the chance to continue working in the lab during the academic year. The program also provided a cohort of like-minded students who also shared similar interests and experiences to me.”
- “I think it’s a great opportunity for people with little to no research experience. I also think the people and the environment were very welcoming.”
- “It opened my eyes to possibilities I haven’t thought of and information I never knew of.”
