The USC Viterbi Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) is an 8-week summer residential research program at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects with academic-industry collaboration under the mentorship of Viterbi faculty and PhD students. The SURE program focuses on undergraduate students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM and allows participants to develop skill sets in research towards their long-term career goals. Participants also will engage in professional network opportunities and build relationships that will expand their academic and professional horizons. The overarching goal of SURE is to help students develop an understanding of research in engineering disciplines, and preparing students with skills for successful academic careers in engineering graduate programs.

The biggest, brightest highlight of the SURE program were the people that I was so lucky to meet. My fellow SURE participants and I grew so close, and we were like a little family by the time the program ended. We developed such great friendships, which was such a rewarding experience in addition to the actual research and academic skills I gained from participating in this program!

I was able to learn so much through this program, but I think the most important learning outcomes were gaining an understanding of how I can familiarize myself with a new project and unfamiliar concepts. Through this program, I was put into a position where I had to learn a lot in a short amount of time and it allowed me to greatly expand my boundaries.
