Thank You, MNT-CURN Participants!
We want to thank everyone who has been part of the MNT-CURN journey. Your enthusiasm and dedication have helped shape what AT³ has become today. We look forward to continuing this exciting journey together.
MNT-CURN was a unique undergraduate research program for students in 2-year technical education programs that started with academic-year online meetings and culminated with a summer capstone research experience.
In this program, students from across the nation had the opportunity to learn from and work with faculty at community colleges, faculty at research universities and representatives from industry partners. You can read about the program and its history and success here: ARCHIVED PAGE.
