PROJECT SUCCESS: OPENING THE DOOR TO BIOMEDICAL CAREERS
Now in its 10th year, HMS Faculty Members are needed to serve as research advisors and mentors for the Project Success summer internship program, sponsored by HMS’ Office for Diversity and Community Partnership. For years, Project Success has placed high school students residing in Boston and Cambridge, particularly underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students. The program is conducted in Harvard research sites, where they complete hands-on, paid, mentored summer research projects under the supervision on the Harvard faculty. For more information and for program highlights, contact Angela Counts, Project Coordinator of K-12 Programs in the Office for Diversity and Community Partnership/HMS at 617-432-4697 or angela_counts@hms.harvard.edu.
