2021 Summer Undergraduate Research SURE Experience SYMPOSIUM July 30

Aloha mai kākou, Welcome to the 4th Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Symposium! As we move into the 2nd year of the COVID pandemic locally, nationally and globally, this has undoubtedly been a challenging year in which to attend school, much less engage in faculty mentored research and creative work scholarship outside of the classroom. You have all experienced and surmounted numerous obstacles over the past year, and we are very proud of all of you for not only persevering, but for excelling. Dealing with uncertainty at such an early stage of your academic life will prepare you for resiliency in your personal and professional lives moving forward – a hallmark of participation in undergraduate research and creative work that is even more pertinent for students today. We are all very excited to hear about what you have been working on over the past several months to a year, and in at least some cases longer. This is the 2nd year that we have held the SURE symposium virtually due to the pandemic. While not the same as an in-person event, this and last year’s SURE symposium events are undoubtedly a huge success, with more presentations than we have had over the prior two years of SURE Symposium events that were held in-person. In addition to all of our student presenters, we also look forward to a large audience online, as was the case last year, perhaps one of the silver linings of the pandemic and holding online events where anyone with an internet connection can participate. In summary, I want to offer a very large Hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana, or congratulations, to all of our UG student presenters. I would also like to acknowledge and thank our faculty mentors for your time, energy and dedication to mentoring UG students, particularly in the summer and most importantly during the middle of a global pandemic when campus life has been turned upside down. I know that you don’t get the credit that you deserve for doing this, but you are all making large, positive impacts on these student’s academic careers, future professions, and overall lives. I would also like to say mahalo nui loa to the great ʻohana in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Scholarship (OVPRS, formerly OVCR) and UROP. In particular I would like to thank Velma Kameoka (iVPRS) for her strong and continued programmatic support of UROP, as well as the UROP team who makes all of this possible. In particular, I want to acknowledge the massive effort that Jessie Chen puts into making the SURE and the SURE Symposium possible this and every year. I also want to recognize and thank the rest of the UROP staff for their help, including Seung Yang, Michelle Tom and Deborah Yuan. Collectively, you are a remarkable team and a pleasure to work with. Finally, I want to acknowledge and thank all of our volunteers who are helping us run the many concurrent Zoom sessions, we could not do this without the selfless gift of your time. Dr. Creighton M. Litton UROP Director

Faculty provide crucial access to resources, works spaces, and information that students may otherwise not be able to attain.
