Many future leaders in research, academia, government and industry will jumpstart their careers this week as the 2014 Summer Leadership and Research Program (SLRP) gets underway.
An orientation session for summer research students and advisors will take place Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. in Room 1438.
Designed to nurture interest in research, academia and graduate studies programs, SLRP provides DVM and undergraduate students from across the University of Guelph with the opportunity to interact with scientists and veterinarians working in diverse fields.
Running May through August, it includes a Round Table series with invited guests working in intriguing areas, field trips, attendance at scientific conferences and professional development workshops, and more. The program is intended to complement the primary research and educational activities of summer research students and their faculty advisors.
