High School Students Participate in Cutting-Edge Research at VSUs Center for Biosystems and Engineering (CBE)
The CBE internship included participants from 13 Richmond-Petersburg area schools and is the largest bioscience high school internship in Virginia. It supports a citywide initiative to strengthen the area's bioscience/biotechnology industry. Students applied for the program and are competitively selected by a review team from the CBE based on a variety of factors, including science courses taken, grades, a short essay explaining their interest, and teacher references.
CBE Summer High School Internship is funded by a grant from the VSU Research Initiative Grant. The objective is to enable high school students to participate in a cutting-edge laboratory research environment to further their education and interest in science as a career.
