2026 Undergraduate Summer Program
Summer 2026
The NSF COMPASS Center—a collaboration of scientists and engineers across Virginia Tech, Cornell University, the University of Michigan, Wake Forest University, Meharry Medical College, and Northern Arizona University—is seeking undergraduates from across the country to join our 2026 Summer Internship Program. Each summer, COMPASS interns bring new ideas, creativity, and energy to our interdisciplinary community. We hope you’ll consider applying to help advance the science—and the workforce—needed to prepare for tomorrow’s pandemics.
