Summer Rotation:

We are delighted to know that some of you will be on campus this summer doing a research rotation.  Here are just a few things to remember about setting up your rotation:

  1. Identify a minimum of 2 faculty with whom you would like to rotate. Our Current Mentors, Rotation Faculty, and MSTP Associated Faculty pages are a great place to begin.

  2. Contact Pam Geyer to let her know who you are considering for rotation.

  3. Pam will work with you to identify a good fit for you for the summer.

  4. Once you have decided on your rotation lab, you should talk with the faculty member about potential projects, start date, vacation dates, etc.

  5. Remember, we'd like you to start your rotation on June 6, 2022 but no later than June 20, 2022.
