Hello, and welcome to the Summer Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI) at Ohio State! We are very excited that you are choosing to spend your summer conducting undergraduate research. SURI is hosted by Ohio State's Undergraduate Research Office in partnership with various summer programs across the university.
Our goals are to provide student researchers with a strong sense of community and purpose by networking, developing professional skills, and having some fun during the Summer Quarter at Ohio State. We are open to students participating in formal, organized undergraduate research programs as well as to undergraduate researchers who are not affiliated with a formal program. While most students involved in SURI activities will be from Ohio State, students from other universities who are conducting research on our campus this summer are welcome to participate as well. You are always welcome to bring friends involved in research to our events!
We hope to use this blog to keep you updated with the most recent SURI events as well as to serve a forum to provide support and guidance as you embark on research this quarter. Please feel free to post comments concerning the helpfulness of posts and what content you'd like to see in the future.
If you have any questions regarding this blog or SURI, please contact Michael Jaung at jaung.1@osu.edu or Helene Cweren at cweren.1@osu.edu
We look forward to meeting you this summer!

From Dr. Allison Snow, Director of URO
I hope your first week of Summer Quarter is going well!
It was great to see many of you at our Kickoff Picnic event on Monday. For those of you who weren’t there, we heard some very inspiring advice from Dr. Jan Weisenberger, Office of Research, and Noel Voltz, who just graduated from OSU after two summers of doing research in history. Common themes from these short speeches were:
• Research takes time – you’ll need to work hard and stay focused.
• Research takes patience – expect delays.
• Research can be challenging – seek advice and find out how others are doing.
• Research can be fun - get to know people in your area and in other disciplines.
• Research can be very rewarding – as part of your education and as a service to society.
