The ENDURE program has selected 10 students to join in 2023.
Along with 7 students who will return for their second year in the program, these scholars will arrive on campus Sunday, May 28, do cutting-edge research in a WUSTL lab for 10 weeks, and present their findings at our Closing Symposium on Friday, August 4. Congratulations to Catrina Reyes and Shylyn Collier from our 2022 cohort on being selected as our ENDURE Student Representatives! Catrina and Shylyn coordinate initiatives and serve as liaisons between the students, program director, faculty and staff.
