BURE helps Cornell Bowers CIS undergraduates gain new skills and explore research with a hands-on summer experience. Open to all Cornell Bowers CIS undergraduates, BURE pairs undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a 10-week summer research program. Applicants rank prospective faculty mentors from a list of participating mentors, and are then matched with a mentor based on both student and faculty preference. Applicants must have taken a core CS, IS, or SDS course, and are highly encouraged to speak with a prospective faculty mentor prior to applying. BURE is a full time commitment, with students required to attend all BURE programming throughout the summer.
Here’s what you can expect from the program:
-
Hourly wage (40 hours/week for 10 weeks) or research stipend
-
Series of enrichment talks on technical and career topics throughout the summer
-
End of summer Research Symposium on August 8, 2025
-
Social events with other BURE scholars and mentors
Summer 2025 program dates are June 2, 2025 through August 8, 2025.
