DEI Spotlight: Summer Undergraduate Research Education Program (SUREP) Read more about DEI Spotlight: Summer Undergraduate Research Education Program (SUREP) The Summer Undergraduate Research Education Program (SUREP) is a free virtual summer education and mentorship program designed to provide undergraduate students (and recent graduates) with information about what graduate study in psychology involves, what it takes to get there, and what career options are open with a Ph.D. in psychology. One of the primary goals of this program is to broaden participation in psychology, making graduate study in psychology more accessible to groups that are traditionally underrepresented in psychology (and academia more broadly).
