Hey, Allen School students! Past participants in this one-week summer program have had a great experience. It’s led by our alum Professor Hakim Whiterspoon. It’s particularly valuable if you’re interested in research or grad school, and/or if you belong to a group that has been traditionally underrepresented in tech. If you can spend June 18-22 in New York, consider applying!
The SoNIC Summer Research Workshop (http://www.cs.cornell.edu/workshop/sonic/) is targeted to undergraduates and master’s students. The theme of the workshop centers around cloud computing (systems and networking), but students with background in CS, EE, Math, and Physics are eligible to apply. Hosted by Cornell University and originally created in collaboration with Howard University, the SoNIC workshop is aimed at significantly increasing the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing and obtaining a PhD in computer science. It is designed to encourage undergraduate or masters students to pursue and achieve a PhD by experiencing systems and networking research firsthand using state-of-the-art methodologies and approaches.
Please have students apply directly to this program through the SoNIC website . The application deadline has been extended to this Friday, March 9, 2018. The program runs from June 18th-June 22nd, 2018, is fully funded and provides for all travel costs from a home or internship, lodging and meals for student participants. Any student can apply for this program, though we target underrepresented minorities. Please feel free to contact us at cis-diversityprograms@cornell.edu with any questions.
