The Summer Student Program will be May 31 - August 4 in Farmington, CT and participants will travel to Bar Harbor, ME to participate in the Annual Short Course on Experimental Models of Human Cancer from August 5 - 8.
The Summer Student Program provides a housing stipend and students are responsible for securing their own accommodations within commuting distance to the Farmington campus.
The Summer Student Program will cover roundtrip transportation between Farmington, Bar Harbor and their home. Students are responsible for their own daily transportation to the Lab.
Students will receive a declining balance card to use in the Laboratory's cafeteria, as well as a meal stipend.
Our Farmington campus is near West Hartford, which offers a blend of Greater New England culture and the natural beauty of outdoor spaces near the JAX campus and across Connecticut. Students have many options for off-site activities in West Hartford and nearby areas, including Blue Back Square and the scenic Elizabeth Park.
Though this is not a residential program, participants are encouraged to spend time together. The Program will also sponsor one group activity. Past activities have included tubing on the Farmington River, attending a Yard Goats game (the local minor league baseball team), day hikes, kayaking and spending a day at a nearby beach, such as Misquamicut State Beach in Rhode Island.
