College Mini-Semester
Offers exposure to modern day science through environmental science and
technology exploration to students selected from schools affiliated
through BNL partnerships.
Students spend one week during college breaks to introduce them to the
Lab's science.
All students in good standing who attend our affiliated schools are
invited to apply;
strong emphasis is placed on ethnic and gender diversity. Some of these
students return
to BNL as part of the Community College
Institute (CCI) or the Science
Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI). Both of these programs offer students
the opportunity to
become part of a scientific research team for a summer. The SULI program
also offers
internships during the fall and spring semesters. Non-affiliates are
encouraged to join.
Program:
Students spend one week at BNL during the winter break and participate in an environmental research project. Students also interact with
Laboratory staff members, attend lectures on current projects and are guided on tours of Laboratory
facilities to witness scientific research in progress. Students are encouraged to apply for 16-week academic semester programs and for 10-week summer programs. Students are expected to participate in a team research experience and present their results.
