TRIO students take part in summer research at Michigan Technological University

For the 14th consecutive year, TRIO/Student Support Service has partnered with Michigan Technical University to give GRCC students first-hand research experience.

Karl Jovinge, Breianna Bertossi, Alannah Elliott, Benjamin Craig, Anthoni Phonxana, Breana Gallarzo, Joseph Day and Nick Lopez are participating in the seven-week program. They will be paired with faculty members whom they will assist with research that ranges from engineering to human resources.

They will also experience life at a four-year institution by living on campus and attending a seminar course.  For most students, this opportunity would be impossible without the financial support they receive.  Michigan Tech gives each student a $2,500 stipend that allows them focus on their learning and clarifying what their academic goals will be moving forward.

The TRIO students will present their research to fellow classmates, faculty and staff on June 22 at Michigan Tech.

To learn more about this partnership program, contact TRIO/Student Support Services at (616) 234-4150.
