As part of our summer research program, Wesleyan students are joined by students from other colleges and universities in Connecticut. WHSO students perform research in a life science laboratory, and participate in all parts of the summer research program including the writing workshop and poster presentation. The program is open to students from under-represented groups who are currently enrolled in undergraduate colleges or universities within the state of Connecticut. The speakers design their talks to be interesting and valuable for the undergraduate audience of varying scientific backgrounds and fields. The summer research program includes a set of presentation skills workshops.
Students choose and enroll in workshops in consultation with their research directors.
The Hughes Summer Program culminates with a poster session in which Hughes fellows and other summer research undergraduates present their research.

Abstracts may be viewed at this site from any Wesleyan account. Athletic facilities are also open to all participants.
