ROUTES WELCOMES SECOND STUDENT COHORT

Sep 1, 2016 | ROUTES Events

On July 20th, ROUTES introduced its second full cohort of scholars with a welcome luncheon for students, faculty, and staff associated with ROUTES. The luncheon was held in the Curry Student Center and was an opportunity for scholars to meet each other and learn more about what to expect in the coming semester.

This cohort consists of four students conducting environmental health research in four different Northeastern University labs. Since the co-op began in early July, the scholars have been working on a full-time basis with faculty mentors, graduate students, and postdocs to complete high-level research.
