One of the best things about Pomona is the dedicated mentorship students receive from their professors and the numerous opportunities they have to collaborate with them. Every summer, students engage in extended, focused research in close cooperation with a Pomona faculty member through the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP).
These research assistantships and independent projects—which take place both on campus and across the globe—receive funding from Pomona and from public and private foundations. Approximately 200 projects are supported every year.
