Meet the 2023 RI Summer Scholars!
RISS has returned for another great summer!
We’re confident this exploratory summer will help the RISS scholars prepare for their future academic, professional, and personal lives. RISS is made possible by the faculty and staff behind the scenes; we’d like to thank the sponsors, partners, mentors, and friends who have helped create and maintain the program, shaping the student experience and guiding scholars throughout their time at CMU.
There were over 600 applicants to the RISS 2023 program. Below, we introduce the 47 scholars from 37 different home universities across ten countries of citizenship who are joining us this summer. Congratulations and welcome 2023 scholars!
