Community and Professional Development

ARNI collaborates with the SURE Columbia Engineering program  to enrich students’ experience with engaging personal and professional development programming, exposure to industry, and fun activities in New York City. The program culminates in a presentation at the Summer Research Symposium where each student showcases their research efforts to peers, faculty, researchers, and industry professionals.

This summer research opportunity provides hands-on research experience, fosters networking, and serves as a valuable stepping stone for students pursuing careers in research within these fields.

We encourage undergraduate students interested in computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, or related fields to apply. In your statement, please indicate your relevant courses, or prior research activities to date. While relevant, research activities are not required for acceptance to this REU program.

We strongly encourage applications from individuals who have been historically underrepresented in STEM, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. This includes first-generation college students, community college students, and students from institutions with limited research opportunities.
