The participant expresses interest in internships or international experiences, referencing a previous summer at CERN as a benchmark for quality. Additionally, there is a suggestion to consider early graduate school involvement, which may provide research opportunities before the official semester begins.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the SULI program by the Department of Energy (DOE)
  • Familiarity with internship application processes
  • Knowledge of research opportunities in academic settings
  • Awareness of international research programs and travel opportunities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the SULI program application process and deadlines
  • Explore internship opportunities in international research organizations
  • Investigate early graduate school programs and their research options
  • Look into other summer research programs similar to CERN
USEFUL FOR

Graduating seniors, aspiring researchers, and students considering internships or international experiences prior to graduate school.

Hi everybody:

I'll be graduating this year but don't want to just blow my summer away. I want to do something useful (get an internship, peace corp or something like that). I found the SULI program by DOE that accepts graduating seniors. What about other opportunities? I am willing to try something different before going into grad school (preferably traveling to another country :D)... I went to CERN last summer and that was awesome. It would be great if I can find something similar.

I have a solid record in academics with 3 summer+ research experiences.

Thanks for the help.

Have you considered starting grad school early? While they probably don't offer summer classes, they might be able to let you work in a lab or with a professor before the semester starts.
