SURES/SOURCE

The Summer Undergraduate Research in Energy and Sustainability (SURES) program through CWRU’s Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE) office offers undergraduate students an opportunity to engage in a 10-week summer research project in sustainability and energy related topics. Students can work closely with faculty members on established research projects, or can develop their own unique research project.
