While so many things have changed recently, one thing that remains a constant is that the talented science students at Ohio Wesleyan continue to make meaningful contributions to scientific research along with their faculty mentors in the OWU Summer Science Research Program (SSRP).

The crises that are upending our world — from the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the long-term existential threat of global climate change — have boldly reminded us of our reliance on science, mathematics, and technology. We turn to scientists and their research to help us understand and solve such global challenges.

Now in its 31st year at Ohio Wesleyan, the Summer Science Research Program, which culminates in the Patricia Belt Conrades Summer Science Research Symposium, prepares OWU students for careers in science research. The program provides an intensive 10-week opportunity for students to tackle complex research issues by working with seasoned, accomplished mentors at OWU and other universities across the country. Students prepare poster displays highlighting their research results for the Symposium event.
