International Student Research
International Veterinary Medicine Summer Research Program
With support from faculty mentors, students develop their own international research projects. This popular program has been a key part of the IVM curriculum since it began in 1982. To date, hundreds of students have successfully carried out research all over the world
Initiative for Global Leadership Global Research Projects, Internships, and Conferences
Students are encouraged to conduct original, policy-oriented research and projects that allow them to test their theories and assumptions on the ground. Since 1986, more than 650 students have conducted research or participated in an international internship in more than 70 countries. These projects often develop into significant projects and senior honors theses.
The Laidlaw Undergraduate Research and Leadership Program provides students with hands-on research experience and leadership training to prepare them to serve as future leaders in their respective fields. The program is made possible by the generous funding of Lord Irvine Laidlaw of Rothiemay through the Laidlaw Foundation.
The Summer Scholars program funds rising juniors and seniors to pursue ten-week independent research projects. As part of the program, students work closely with a faculty mentor to create a poster to present at a poster session in the fall. Summer Scholars then present the next stage of their research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the spring. Often, the summer project will culminate in a senior honors thesis.
