<p class="MsoNormal">As a reminder, MITEI’s Summer UROP funding comes with 10 weeks of supportive programming, a cohort of fellow energy summer UROPs, and the opportunity to present a poster at MITEI’s annual research conference. Our UROP students also get
card access to the Energy Commons and higher pay per hour than direct-funded UROPs. If you have questions, check in with Rachel at <a href="mailto:rshulman@mit.edu"><span style="color:#0563C1">rshulman@mit.edu</span></a>. <o:p></o:p></p>
