Through a personalized and interdisciplinary approach to mentoring and academic immersion, the iSURE program nurtures each student’s personal, academic, and intercultural growth throughout their time on campus. In addition to working on cutting-edge research with Notre Dame faculty, iSURE students immerse themselves in the American undergraduate experience during their eight weeks on campus.
