Program Information

All fellows participate in weekly brown bag lunches, visit other's laboratories/research groups, and have the opportunity to participate in other workshops and events. Simons Fellows will also have access to the campus gym, cafeteria and libraries. In addition to learning research techniques and tools, all Simons Fellows will have the experience of writing a research abstract. Check out abstracts from last summer.

Resident/Commuter Options : Simons Fellows can either commute or reside on campus. Students who elect to reside on campus during the program will be responsible for paying a housing fee (~$1,200) and must sign a consent form agreeing to abide by housing staff rules. Students typically stay in a double room Sunday through Thursday nights in a university residence hall, supervised by live-in residence staff. Roommates will be assigned.
