CMC students seeking to discover more about the Integrated Sciences major (and future careers), open a dialogue with a potential mentor, or forge a bond with others interested in the sciences, are welcome to learn more about CMsci, the student-run research organization, which spans four interdisciplinary teams: the neuro team, environmental team, physics team, and the newly launched health team.

“CMsci is unique at CMC because it gives us the opportunity to pursue research projects that we design and lead ourselves,” said Heena Suleman ’29, an Environmental Team analyst majoring in Integrated Sciences.

As they work on their own projects, CMsci students are supported by KDIS faculty who offer research guidance as well as access to lab materials and workspaces, including the Innovation Studio, a public space inside the Robert Day Sciences Center designed to encourage collaboration and hands-on work.

This past spring, the group tapped into expertise offered by CMC alumni and faculty who shared career insights and explored emerging topics in science and technology.
