Pursuing Undergraduate Research Starts Students on a Path to Success

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) experience provides undergraduate students experience in designing and conducting a research project of their own, while working under the guidance of a faculty mentor and participating in an extended learning community that includes current and past SURF scholars.

“What is especially valuable is the opportunity SURF affords students to learn outside of the traditional course structure and to cross disciplinary boundaries to pursue research under the guidance of mentors from a variety of disciplines, within a collaborative and multidisciplinary community that supports creativity and innovation,” said Judy Randi, Ed.D., director of the SURF program.

"SURF promotes undergraduate research in an innovative, interdisciplinary environment,”said Judy Randi, Ed.D., director of the SURF program." Judy Randi, Ed.D., director of the SURF program
