Defining Future Endeavors

On the California campus, the Kellogg School of Science and Technology's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) program targets college students interested in performing cutting-edge research and developing professional skills useful in defining their future endeavors.

Unlike traditional college classes, SURF students identify their personal interest area and are matched with a Scripps Research faculty member. During the 10-week summer program, each intern crafts a research project with the help of a mentor.
