Students must certify that they acknowledge the terms of the SMART Program Statement of Understanding, which will be sent to each accepted intern as a DocuSign document. Please review the following copy of this document and click the box below to agree to its provisions. This STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING lists the requirements and provisions of the 2023 SMART Program. The primary purpose of participating in the SMART Program is to gain advanced research, laboratory, and technical writing experience. The SMART Program centers on the student-faculty mentor relationship, in which each student is individually guided in conducting research. The SMART Program will be held in-person this year, unless public health regulations change in response to COVID or other emergencies. The University of Colorado reserves the right to cancel the program or change to a remote format due to circumstances beyond the control of the University. The participant will devote full time to the SMART Program. SMART interns will not take part in any other academic or work-related activity, such as attending classes or holding a part-time job during the SMART Program. There is no vacation time allowed. The participant will complete a research project proposal and a thesis paper during the course of the program. The participant will present a research project as an oral presentation at the 2023 Leadership Alliance National Symposium. Depending upon circumstances, SMART interns might attend LANS 2023 virtually, or in person—this decision is solely up to SMART Program administrators. The participant will take part in all academic components of the program, including workshops in technical writing and communication skills, evening seminars, and group meetings. The SMART Program provides participants with tuition for CU credit, fees for on-campus amenities such as a Buff One student ID card, bus pass and access to the CU Recreation Center, room and board on campus for the duration of the program, and a monthly stipend. If a participant fails to complete the program or is sent home for not meeting program or University expectations, they relinquish any subsequent program benefits, amenities and stipend payments. Because all SMART participants are enrolled for credit at the University of Colorado Boulder for the 10-week summer term, they must comply with the COVID vaccination requirements and Campus Public Health Measures. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program. Your electronic signature on this DocuSign document certifies that you have reviewed this Statement of Understanding and will adhere to the SMART Program’s requirements and provisions, campus COVID vaccination requirements, and the university's campus public health measures. You also agree that SMART reserves the option of dismissing from the program any student who does not follow the requirements described above. Students who are dismissed forfeit all remaining SMART financial support.
