Rising juniors and seniors from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) join S&T’s College of Engineering and Computing again this year for an eight-week summer research and mentoring experience as part of the third annual Summer Engineering Research Academy (SERA).

If you have a project and would like to have a student join your team this summer, please contact Dr. Kelley Wilkerson, teaching professor of materials science and engineering, at krowb4@mst.edu by Monday, March 15. Faculty leading sponsored research projects with diversity goals are strongly encouraged to join the 2021 SERA program, though external funding is not a requirement to participate.

Participating HBCUs include Jackson State University, Tuskegee University, and Morgan State University.
