Hi Juniors!
This is a quick blog post that will cover the basics of the STARS Program. As a reminder, the STARS Program will be primarily online this summer, but some research topics may allow for in-person fieldwork. STARS allows you to collaborate with a team of experts while learning about conducting research, research design, laboratory work, experimentation, and presenting your work. For more information, you can access their website with this link.
Just a quick reminder that the deadline to apply for STARS is this Tuesday, March 30th. To those applying, make sure all materials (your application, recommendation form, and application fee) are turned into the college counseling office by the deadline. If you have any questions, reach out to your college counselor or Mr. Shaw!
You can access the application here: http://www.umsl.edu/~sep/STARS/2021applicationform.docx

Good luck with your applications!
