Abstract

The Summer@CENS Research Scholars Program continues to be one of the key Education initiatives at CENS. The program is the core of our educational pipeline and is an excellent example of aligned Center research and education activities. The Summer@CENS Research Scholars Program serves as an umbrella for our undergraduate and high school summer research opportunities. It brings together talented undergraduates from around the country and local high school students to engage in Center research for 8-10 weeks over the summer. This poster highlights the structure of the program from planning to implementation as well as some of the outcomes resulting from the program. Also highlighted is the CENS Intel Scholars Program which allows us to extend the summer experience through the academic year for undergraduates at UCLA. This year, the CENS High School Scholars program has also been extended through the academic year to support continuation high school students in Central High School in the Mar Vista Projects.
