Hofstra University's Summer Science Research Program offers high school students opportunities in science research under the guidance of professionals in science and mathematics. Now in its ninth year, HUSSRP provides selected research-oriented high school students the opportunity to work with our science faculty during the summer in an on campus research program. The program runs from Tuesday July 6, 2010 through Friday August 13, 2010 culminating in a science "poster session" in early Fall where students display the work they performed during the summer. The poster session is open to all students in the program and their teachers. Students will be selected for this program on the basis of their high school science experience, a personal interview and, above all, the high school teacher's recommendation. For an additional fee, SSRP students this year now have the opportunity to live on campus, and to participate in some of the activities offered as part of our Pre-College Program, including an SAT preparation and college search seminar and extra- and co-curricular cultural and recreation activities.

Science teachers interested in the program are encouraged to come tour our facilities and meet the participating research professors from Hofstra's faculty. Please call the Hofstra Chemistry Department at (516) 463-5534 or e-mail Dr. Nanette Wachter to respond to this invitation.
