Pursuing summer research at another University
can be a rewarding experience that provides
an opportunity
to experience the type of life style you
can expect from
graduate studies.
Further, many of these opportunities
provide stipends that
are competitive as compared to summer
internships
I would encourage all Gonzaga STEM students to
consider summer research opportunities.
