The Summer Program for Research Interns (SPRI) -- a graduation requirement for GSSM's rising seniors -- is a unique, hands-on educational opportunity and capstone experience. Nearly 70 students spend six weeks in corporate research and development labs, research universities and hospital cancer centers across the state under the direct supervision of established scientists. During the internship, students conduct research on a college graduate level in fields in which they have a specific interest such as cancer research, biomedical experiments or computer science.
