2020 Virtual RISE Summer Symposium

RISE is typically a 10 week in-person program. In summer 2020, as a result of COVID-19, we pivoted to “RISE Remote”. Participants engaged in virtual research, enhanced by a robust virtual enrichment and professional development component, and virtual social and wellness activities. Visit our 2020 Virtual Symposium to see all that our Scholars achieved.
