Welcoming HIRES Students and Parents/Guardians at HIRES Networking Reception

On June 20, 2024, CUNY CREST HIRES welcomed its interns and their parents/guardians to the networking reception at the Grove School of Engineering, CCNY. The interactive event helped attendees gain important details on the HIRES program and the opportunity to network! It also provided the participants a chance to ask questions and share their thoughts!

Summer Programs Begin!

The institute kicked off the Summer Bridge and the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program on June 10, 2024 and the CUNY CREST HIRES program on June 27, 2024. During the orientation week, students learnt about their respective programs, gained insights into the research projects that they can work on this summer, and met with the program team including mentors and instructors. HIRES students participated in lab tours at CCNY and learnt about the facilities available to them as well as worked on understanding the stipend process. Students are very excited to take on this journey filled with fun and learning during the summer!
