URSI
Chemistry faculty also participate in Vassar’s Undergraduate Research Summer Institute, U.R.S.I. This ten-week paid internship program matches students who have an interest in pursuing research with Vassar science faculty mentors. A total of approximately 50 Vassar students participate in the program every summer, of whom ten on average are chemistry students. The program culminates in a research symposium held at Vassar in the fall and frequently leads to students co-authoring research papers with faculty.
