Research In Action
For over a decade, I have been so very fortunate to have helped our center of emphasis at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute host its Injury Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. As CIRP's Training Manager, I work closely with CIRP Director of Training Thomas Seacrist to make this 10-week pediatric research internship, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, meaningful for each class of motivated and talented students from across the country.
Our REU program provides students with not only mentorship (from both peer mentors and principal investigators) and hands-on research experience in the fields of engineering, behavioral science, education, population science, and statistics, but also networking opportunities and educational programming.
Meet the REU Class of 2024
This year’s selected REU class will work on a variety of projects in the injury science space. We look forward to learning from them as much as they learn from us:
- Madison Bouggess, Vassar College
- Norah Crowley, Bucknell University
- Eva Hunter, Elon University
- Janet Le, University of Virginia
- Sheridan Lyles, Spelman College
- Chidinma Okereke, Georgia Gwinnett College
- Jasnoor Saini, University of Delaware
- Gabriel Vazquez, Community College of Philadelphia
- Anjali Vijan, Rutgers University
