Summer Undergraduate Mentorship Program (SUMP)
The CSM institutes are looking for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the Summer Undergraduate Mentorship Program (SUMP) for Summer 2026. SUMP pairs first-time summer students with experienced graduate students, or undergraduate students who have previously completed a summer studentship.
The objectives of the pairings are:
- To engage in the topics or material of interest to the mentee
- To learn about research opportunities
- To provide feedback on writing or presentations
- To support students throughout the summer studentship and facilitate networking
If you are interested in participating, please complete the one of the following surveys by Friday, May 15, 2026 at 5 PM
Sign-up
The time commitment should be reasonable. Student mentees will meet with their mentor at least once a month and will be able to contact their mentor via email as needed. The time frame will be from June to August.
