The program provides the\nstudents with the opportunity to work on independent research projects and\nexplore non-practice careers by being partnered with faculty members who share\nmutual areas of interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Summer Research Program runs for 11 weeks.&nbsp; Things got started with a traditional-style\ncookout Tuesday, May 14, at Squirrel Park, located near Airport Road and State\nStreet on the Purdue campus.&nbsp; Students\nparticipating in the program enjoyed typical Indiana cookout fare, including\nhamburgers and pulled-pork, as they had a chance to mingle with faculty and\nstaff who attended as well.&nbsp; Other\nactivities planned during the summer include seminars, field trips, and\nsymposia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the undergraduate participants this year are students from Case Western Reserve University, Liberty University, Rutgers University, and Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College.\u00a0 The program has been held annually since 1991.\u00a0 Dr. Harm HogenEsch, Purdue Veterinary Medicine associate dean for research and professor of immunopathology, and Dr. Eli Asem, professor of physiology in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences, organize the program by matching students and faculty.\u00a0 The goal is to make DVM and undergraduate students aware of the opportunities to pursue research and research-related careers, and to increase the number of students that are interested in advanced training following graduation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s annual Summer Research Program (SRP) is off and running with 15 participants this year, including nine Purdue veterinary students and six undergraduate students from Purdue and four other universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,11,42],"tags":[75,530,26,173,56,241,528],"class_list":["post-5164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-research","category-students","tag-bms","tag-eli-asem","tag-featured-story","tag-harm-hogenesch","tag-homepage","tag-office-of-research","tag-summer-research-program"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5168,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5164\/revisions\/5168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
