Southwestern University HHMI Inquiry Initiative

37 students and 13 faculty are conducting research this summer through SCOPE, Southwestern's multidisciplinary and collaborative summer research program, in the areas of biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, kinesiology, math, physics, and psychology.

Wow! We're so grateful for the support SCOPE has received so far. If 20 more donations are made toward SCOPE (any dollar amount counts!), another $3500 will be gifted to the program which will fund an additional research student next summer. We're also very fortunate that an anonymous donor is matching every dollar gifted to our research program 😊

SCOPE gives our science and math students the unique and important opportunity to engage in collaborative, authentic research with faculty every summer.

This week's "Choose Your Southwestern Challenge" will enhance the research experience for our students. Help us meet our goal! Find out how you can make a difference: https://www.givecampus.com/schools/SouthwesternUniversity/choose-your-southwestern-challenge/?a=419839

Our SCOPE students are amazing! 22 SU students attended the Texas Academy of Science (TAS) meeting earlier this month, where they gave 4 oral presentations and presented 12 posters in areas including Conservation Biology, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Cell/Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Physics, Systematics and Evolution, Freshwater Science, and Science Education. Several students and alumni received awards. Link for details: http://bit.ly/2nanoxI
