During this summer’s Bowers Undergraduate Research Experience, Joyce Yang ’27, a computer science major, worked with Cornell’s EmPRISE Lab to develop a robotic system to transfer a patient from a bed to a wheelchair.

Summer program gives undergraduates a taste of research life

By louis dipietro cornell ann s. bowers college of computing and information science..

Research takes time.

“On top of classes and extracurricular commitments, I often struggle to find enough time for research during the semester,” said James Kim ’25, a computer science and math major.

But this summer, thanks to the  Bowers Undergraduate Research Experience (BURE) , Kim, along with 60 of his undergraduate peers from the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, can give research the time it requires. In the process, Kim is discovering a career path. Working alongside  Amy Kuceyeski , adjunct associate professor of statistics and data science and professor of mathematics in radiology and of mathematics in neuroscience in the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine, Kim uses machine learning models to analyze brain scans and predict the onset of various neurological disorders. He plans to pursue a doctoral degree in computer science, with a focus on artificial intelligence, neuroscience and health care.

Kabir Samsi ’26, a computer science major and music minor, spent his summer working in a Cornell lab as part of the Bowers Undergraduate Research Experience.

“What I was able to get done over two months during the semester, I got done in maybe a week or two here during the summer,” Kim said. “BURE has been extremely worthwhile. The mentorship and the support have been priceless.”

Hosted by the Cornell Bowers CIS and encompassing Cornell’s Ithaca campus and Cornell Tech in New York City, BURE is a 10-week summer program where Cornell undergraduates are paired with one of nearly 40 faculty mentors and their doctoral students to tackle a specific research project. BURE students work full time for an hourly wage or a research stipend. Open to all Cornell Bowers CIS undergraduates, the program is meant to give undergraduate students a preview of the open, free-form nature of research so that they can decide whether pursuing a doctoral degree is the right choice, said  Adrian Sampson , associate professor of computer science and a BURE mentor. 

“If students are at all considering a career in research, it does not make sense to immediately apply to a Ph.D. program without doing any,” said Sampson, who is mentoring six undergraduate students in his  Computer Architecture and Programming Abstractions (CAPRA) lab this summer. “By the end of the summer, I hope students get a sense of whether this is something they want to do long term. Maybe they like research, or they don’t. There’s no shame in either direction.” 

BURE student Joyce Yang ’27 is working with the  EmPRISE Lab , directed by  Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee , assistant professor of computer science, to develop a robotic system that can safely transfer a care recipient from a bed to a wheelchair. While there has been limited research on this topic, human transferring is one of caregivers’ most challenging daily tasks, making her work all the more meaningful, Yang said. 

“With research, I think it’s fun that you never really know when you’re going to be done with a project, and that it can go as far as you’d like it to go,” said Yang, a computer science major. “There’s a possibility of discovering or inventing something that’s novel, and, especially with robotics, something that could truly have a positive impact in people’s lives.”

Along with research opportunities, BURE offers a series of weekly talks from mentors about life as a researcher, and regular social events throughout the summer. At BURE’s conclusion, participating students showcase their work during a research symposium.

BURE has given Kabir Samsi ’26 the time and experience to decide what he’d like to do after his undergraduate studies, he said.

“The experience has been fantastic,” said Samsi, a computer science major and music minor who is working in Sampson’s CAPRA Lab on a project related to packet scheduling, a model for improving the way computer systems handle flows of data. “I think it's hugely inspired me to want to continue a path of research.”

New this summer is  BURE Next , run by the Cornell Bowers CIS’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. It was created to encourage research opportunities for undergraduate students from underrepresented groups everywhere – not just at Cornell; anyone can apply. Four students are participating in BURE Next this summer.

BURE is offered every summer, and Cornell Bowers CIS students can apply via the  college’s website .

Graduate School Awards Dissertation Completion Fellowships

This summer, the Graduate School was pleased to launch a new Dissertation Completion Fellowship program for doctoral students in the Colleges of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Humanities and Fine Arts. The Dissertation Completion Fellowship provides a stipend and structured writing support over the summer. Twenty-one students were awarded fellowships by the Graduate School, with an additional three students funded by SBS.  

As Dean Urla explained, this pilot fellowship program follows on the heels of doctoral program reviews of these Colleges. “Our review showed that students in these Colleges are heavily burdened with teaching. Providing a concentrated period of summer support with no other duties can be a game changer in helping students make progress and reach their final goal.” 

Heidi Bauer-Clapp and Johanna Yunker in the Graduate School Office of Professional Development designed the program to incorporate positive writing support. Fellowship recipients took part in the Graduate School’s Dissertation Writing Retreat at the beginning of the summer fellowship period to establish healthy writing habits and outline their summer writing plan.   They were also invited to join a writing group to continue to connect over the summer, share writing goals and challenges, and combat the sense of isolation students can experience while writing their dissertation.  

Fellowship recipient Thomas Daventry-Shea, PhD candidate in philosophy, says he values the writing group as a feature of the fellowship. “The meetings prompt you to reflect on the process of writing itself, which is something we all know we ought to do, but typically don't do often enough,” he says. “Being more intentional in thinking about which writing practices work better than others has definitely helped me to make the most out of these summer months.” 

The Graduate School awarded Dissertation Completion Fellowships to the following students:  

Christine Bailey, Political Science 

Katie Billings, Sociology  

Victoria Bochniak, Anthropology   

Rowshan Chowdhury, English

In June 2023, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that colleges and universities could no longer use race as a factor in their admission decisions, many higher education institutions across the United States faced the same challenge: how to maintain diversity in their student bodies. So Noelle Wakefield, director of MIT’s Summer Research Program (MSRP) and assistant dean for diversity initiatives in MIT’s Office of Graduate Education (OGE), started planning.

On July 31, a little more than a year after the decision was released, the OGE hosted the inaugural  Inclusive Pathways to the PhD Summit , which brought representatives from nearly 20 minority-serving institutions (MSIs), including several historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to meet with MIT administrators, faculty, and doctoral students. The admission question — how to continue attracting a diverse cohort of graduate students with the new legal restrictions? — was only the first of many that framed a broader and more complex picture.

“What are fresh ways for us to find talent in places that aren’t typically represented at MIT?” Wakefield asks. “How can we form partnerships with institutions that aren’t already part of our ecosystem? What is the formula for partnerships where both institutions benefit and feel good about the work that is happening?”

These aren’t new outreach questions for MIT, Wakefield says, but the changing admissions landscape sparked a need for the Institute to “be more thoughtful.”

And a need to clear up misperceptions, adds Denzil Streete, senior associate dean and director of the OGE. “MIT faculty may have outdated perspectives about HBCUs and MSIs,” he says. “And our visitors may be relying on historical knowledge of MIT that is largely negative” when it comes to attracting graduate applications from smaller, lesser-known colleges and universities. The summit was designed to be a first step in demystifying these assumptions and in establishing “a common platform and a shared understanding for moving forward,” Streete says.

For decades, the OGE has focused its HBCU and MSI outreach efforts on student recruitment, but the summit signals a broadening of that approach to include faculty and staff mentors — the people Wakefield describes as “levers for decision-making” among prospective graduate students. Streete says, “if we at MIT say we attract the best and brightest in the world and we don’t include these institutions, then our supposition comes into question.”

The summit agenda included information sessions about navigating the MIT graduate admission process and finding research opportunities for undergraduates, as well as conversations with current MIT doctoral students who’d graduated from the MSIs represented at the summit. There was a campus tour, a poster session by students in the  MIT Summer Research Program , and a panel discussion on forming reciprocal relationships with HBCUs and MSIs, featuring visitors from Spelman College, Prairie View A & M University, and the University of Puerto Rico, among others.

That discussion resonated with visitor Gwendolyn Scott-Jones, dean of the Wesley College of Health and Behavioral Sciences at Delaware State University. “It felt like an authentic discussion about the disparities and lack of equal resources that HBCUs historically contend with compared to predominantly white institutions,” she observes. “HBCUs have been known to do more with less and have produced very talented professionals, and I believe MIT is trying to provide HBCUs with access and opportunity.”

One of the summit’s goals was to begin ensuring that this access and opportunity would be “bidirectional” — going both ways between an institution like MIT and an HCBU like Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, where Christina Chisholm, one of the panelists, did her undergraduate work. Collaborations “aren’t spaces in which you’re just throwing money at something to fix it, or to bridge a gap,” says Chisholm, a biophysicist who’s now director of the McNair Scholars Program and Thrive Student Support Services at Rutgers University.

Instead, she advised, focus on cooperation, coordination, and positive mentorship. Tiffany Oliver, a biology professor at Spelman, recalled a potential student-research project she was exploring with a partner at a larger institution who would host her students in his lab. “His attitude was, ‘We have the money so we’re going to tell you what you need to do.’” she recalls. “That’s a reflection of how you’re going to treat my students, and I would rather send my students to some other place if the people show that they care. I want my students to leave school still loving science, not tarnished by science.”

Another piece of advice came from Kareem McLemore, assistant vice president of strategic enrollment management at Delaware State. “When you’re partnering with us, the first thing we’re going to ask is, ‘Are you doing this to check a box?’” he says. “If it’s a checkbox, we don’t want it. We want to know what the objectives are, the key goals, the KPIs [key performance indicators]. You may have the money, but think about the resources we have as HBCUs that can help you raise your brand. We have to ride the wave together.”

The summit served as a starting point: a way to build trust among institutions with different histories and resources, and to stimulate ideas for future partnerships, whether that means a joint research project, a shared curriculum, or a faculty exchange.

“We all understand that talent is everywhere but opportunity is not distributed in the same manner,” says Bryan Thomas Jr., assistant dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion at the MIT Sloan School of Management and a co-organizer of the event. Broadening MIT’s networks through the Inclusive Pathways Summit means “expanding our ecosystem of opportunity, collaboration, and adding new ways of solving problems,” he says. “And that ultimately benefits all of us.”

Graduate Nursing Students Embark on an Educational Journey to Switzerland and France

Wednesday, Aug 14, 2024

This summer, Graduate Nursing students from multiple MSN and DNP programs had the unique opportunity to expand their horizons and deepen their understanding of healthcare through a study abroad trip to Switzerland and France. The weeklong trip was part of a Spring 2024 elective course.

The trip focused on experiential learning, allowing students to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world settings and engage with healthcare professionals from around the globe.

Highlights of the Trip included:

-United Nations Visit: CONHI students attended a United Nations meeting focused on the human rights of indigenous peoples from around the world. This session provided an eye-opening perspective on global health issues and human rights advocacy.

-Red Cross Museum and World Health Organization Tour: The students toured the Red Cross Museum and the World Health Organization, gaining insights into the history and current efforts in global health and humanitarian work.

-University of Geneva: During their visit to the University of Geneva, the students had the privilege of meeting with Professors Catherine Ludwig and Alexia Bourgeois. These discussions enriched their understanding of international healthcare systems and academic collaborations.

-Médecins Sans Frontières Lecture: A lecture from Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) offered students a deeper understanding of global health crises and the critical role of emergency medical response.

-Air Glacier Complex Tour: The tour of the Air Glacier complex was a highlight, where students learned about air mountain rescues and trauma care. This hands-on experience demonstrated the challenges and innovations in emergency medical services in rural mountainous regions.

-Cultural Immersion: In addition to the educational components, students immersed themselves in the rich cultures of Switzerland and France, experiencing local traditions, cuisine, and history.

The trip provided graduate nursing students with unparalleled opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, network with international healthcare professionals, and ultimately, gain a global perspective on nursing and healthcare.

Looking Forward

Study abroad travel plans for 2025 are already in the works, including a spring break trip to Italy. Graduate nursing students interested in participating are encouraged to keep an eye out for additional information.

Six institute for black catholic studies students receive inaugural sister jamie t. phelps scholarships.

• 15 August 2024

The Institute for Black Catholic Studies (IBCS) of Xavier University of Louisiana has been a staple of the university for 45 years, a community devoted to evangelizing the African American community and the church at-large. Every summer, students gather on the Xavier campus to participate in the program, which offers the opportunity for graduate studies or continuing education in theology and parish ministry. This year, six IBCS students were the first recipients of a newly endowed scholarship established in honor of IBCS charter member and former director, Sister Jamie T. Phelps, O.P., Ph.D.

“In their everyday walks of life, these students embody a love of learning and a desire to serve God by ministering to God’s people, passion and determination that Sister Jaime T. Phelps has displayed throughout her life,” said Dr. Kathleen Dorsey Bellow, director of Xavier’s IBCS. “Sister’s commitment to Black Catholic theology, spirituality, and history has inspired the Institute from its beginning. These scholarships help ensure that her spirit will live on in every IBCS generation.”

The six IBCS students- Ali Mumbach, Alicia Gray, April Williams-Bell, Shaylyn Cothron, Rahsaan Garlin, and Pattie J. Griffin- were awarded the 2024 Phelps scholarship in support of their continued studies and contributions to the Black Catholic community,

Ali Mumbach is pursuing her master’s degree in theology (Th.M.) at the Institute and a master’s of sociology at Howard University.  She serves as a campus minister at Howard’s Sr. Thea Bowman Catholic Student Center.

Alicia Gray is another IBCS student earning the Th.M.  She is a New Orleans elementary school teacher and a member of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, where she serves on the Beautification Committee and sings with the Voices of St. Peter Claver. Gray is also the assistant choir director at W. Smith Elementary School in Violet, Louisiana.

April Williams-Bell is one of the four scholarship recipients enrolled in the IBCS Continuing Education Program. She is a coordinator at Lafourche Parish Juvenile Justice Facility and Alderwoman for the Village of Napoleonville, Louisiana. She is also a member of St. Augustine Catholic Church, where she serves as the Parish council secretary and a member of the Rosary Rally. Willams-Bell is also the director of religious education at the St. Paul de Vincent Society.

Shaylyn Cothron, also enrolled in the Continuing Education Program. Cothron is the first Xavier undergraduate to participate in the IBCS while still in undergrad. She is a rising senior Chemistry major in the Class of 2025 with a double minor in Theology and Biology. Cothron is Grand Lady of the St. Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary Collegiate Unit. Also on campus, Cothron is a member of Xavier’s Campus Ministry, Peer Deans, and Purposeful Infrastructure Promoting Equality (PIPE Program). She belongs to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Rahsaan Garlin is the associate director of African American, African and Caribbean Apostolate for the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J.  Like Cothron and Williams-Bell, Garlin is a student in the Continuing Education program. Garlin is a member of St. Patrick & Assumption/All Saints Parish in Jersey City, New Jersey where he is the director of youth ministry. 

Pattie J. Griffin is the final 2024 scholarship recipient in the Continuing Education program. A graduate of the IBCS, she received the ThM degree in 1995 but returned to the IBCS as a lifelong learner in the faith. She is a retired deaf educator and a member of St. Ann Catholic Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina where she is the Youth Center director, director for after-school tutoring, director of Summer Camp, and a Choir member. Griffin is also a sign-language interpreter for Mass at the African American Evangelization Ministry. In her free time, she volunteers as a poll worker for elections.

From left to right: Garlin, Williams-Bell, Griffin, and Cothron

Born in 1941 to a Catholic family and educated in Catholic schools, Sister Phelps became a member of the Adrian Dominican Sisters in 1959.  As a former social worker and lifelong scholar, Sister Jamie has always used her considerable talents and education to benefit the people of God. She served as a consultant during the planning stages of the Institute for Black Catholic Studies and after she had earned her Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from the Catholic University of America, Sister began teaching summers in the IBCS.  She has also served on the faculty of several Catholic institutions of higher learning. In 2003, Xavier University officials appointed Dr. Phelps as IBCS director and the Katharine Drexel Professor of Systemic Theology. She held the position for eight years. Sister Phelps was also instrumental in creating the Black Catholic Theological Symposium, which meets annually, and like the IBCS, serves as a space for professional theological education and research.  

“The Institute for Black Catholic Studies will forever bless Sr. Jamie T. Phelps and the Adrian Dominican Sisters for their investment in Black scholars who seek, through IBCS study and community life, to further the legacy established by the esteemed ancestors and elders who imagined the Institute for Black Catholic Studies,” said Dr. Bellow. “We expect that the present and future recipients of this scholarship will do just that.”

The Adrian Dominican Sisters established the Sr. Jamie T. Phelps, O.P., Ph.D. scholarship to help support the IBCS program established by Sister Jamie and in reparation for the congregation’s past participation in structural racism by creating new pathways toward racial justice. Persons interested in the 2025 scholarship program should apply and be accepted by the IBCS program. Application instructions and qualifications will be posted on the IBCS website in early January 2025.

Please review the individual job descriptions for specific technical or language requirements for eligibility. If you require any extra support or adjustments during the process, we welcome you to notify a member of the campus recruiting team for further assistance.

Summer internships typically last for 10 weeks and attract students in their penultimate year of university who aim to start work full-time the following year. The summer internship class is our primary source of hiring into our full-time campus programs. An internship is a great way to get a taste of what a full-time role in your team of interest would be like and hone your skills through structured performance evaluations, training, development and social opportunities offered throughout the program.

Full-time Analyst and Associate programs are designed for candidates who are ready to start work upon university graduation. If applying to an Analyst role, typically you’ll be studying toward a bachelor’s degree. Associate level roles are generally right for you if you have a master’s degree, MBA, an equivalent advanced degree or previous work experience.

Recruiting process

If selected following the application stage, you’ll be invited to take part in an interview. For all our programs, first- and second-round interviews (where applicable) will take place by phone, via on-demand video, on campus or at a Bank of America office. If you have been invited to an on-demand video interview, we encourage you to read the tips below:

Before you begin, consider your…

• Preparation techniques: Treat this like an in-person interview. You can expect that interview questions will be fairly typical, and we want to get a better understanding of who you are and your interest in the program. The questions are primarily behavioral and open ended, although we may ask you about projects or experiences.
• Presentation: Wear professional dress and practice potential responses so you can deliver your answers clearly and concisely. Review common interview questions and gain feedback from someone you trust on your presentation and delivery before your interview.
• Interview location: Be thoughtful about where you conduct your interview! Consider locations that do not have a distracting backdrop or an echo, or that are in a high-traffic area. Also, make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. Be sure to tell others the timeframe in which you’ll be completing your interview (~20-30 minutes).

During your interview…

• Use your time wisely: You’ll have 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to three minutes to respond. Use those 30 seconds to consider what points you want to include in your response. We are unable to ask any follow-up questions, so be sure to consider how or why you did or would do something. You can expect to use at least 1:45 per response.
• Be flexible: You may not have prepared for each question but try to respond to the best of your ability. Remember that this is our chance to get to know you, so try to relate this as much as you can in each response. Also, we know that there is a chance you could be interrupted but be prepared to keep going! We want to see you work through any distractions that could arise to the best of your ability.
• Notes are okay: While we don’t want a scripted response, it’s okay to write down points you would like to touch on. That said, keep your responses as natural as possible and avoid reading straight from the page like a script.
• Be yourself!: We look for students who are eager to learn, demonstrate strong intellectual curiosity, are team players and have a genuine interest in our programs. Take the time to show us these attributes!

The final round of the recruiting process will vary slightly for each line of business but will typically include interviews conducted by representatives from the business area you are applying to. Further details regarding your application status will be communicated as you progress.
