Glenn-Stokes Research Internship Program

The Glenn-Stokes Research Internship Program, named in honor of John Glenn (Ohio Senator and Astronaut) and Louis Stokes (Ohio Congressman) is designed to better prepare students for and to encourage them to pursue careers in science and technology. Students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are matched with faculty members at one of the fifteen participating institutions.

Glenn-Stokes Interns engage in research experiences working one-on-one with faculty mentors during the academic year or over the summer term. Both intervention programs are designed to engage undergraduates in research experiences with faculty mentors, accelerate the student’s socialization into the profession, and create a community of scholars among the participants. Their research topics are determined by the student and his or her mentor. During the summer, interns devote full-time to their research projects, the associated campus-based educational enrichment activities and the Ohio Student Research Forum. Summer interns conduct research, write an abstract and a research paper, and present the results of their research at the Student Research Forum.
