Starting July 1, these five students will be on-campus for the new student orientation and the beginning of their summer lab rotation. All incoming first-year PhD students must complete three 10-week rotations. You may begin receiving email inquiries about
lab rotation openings for the summer and the academic year in the coming weeks. We are encouraging students to reach out directly to faculty. We are also working with the students to have them complete lab safety training by the start of the summer.</div>
