RECRUITMENT & MENTORSHIP

The Department of Genome Sciences is committed to fostering a diverse community of scholars that is encouraging and welcoming to all students. This is reflected in efforts to recruit and retain a diverse faculty, staff and student body.

Partnerships: 
While our summer program welcomes students from around the country, we also have partnerships with Heritage University, Fort Lewis College (Durango, CO), and Bellevue College to provide summer research opportunities.
