Summer is ‘when it happens’ for research on River Campus
Research at the University of Rochester doesn’t end when most students leave campus for the summer. It thrives. Students from across the globe are on the River Campus this summer, taking part in Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and other research programs with Rochester students and faculty members.
