In 2023, the program will run from Sunday, June 11, 2023 through Sunday, July 9, 2023. (Final itinerary is subject to change) Application deadline is Jan. 20, 2023.
"The Davis-Bahcall Program offered an unparalleled glimpse into the scientific research community and industry. Without the opportunity to peer beyond what an undergraduate degree can truly do, it is extremely difficult for students to have enough information to feel confident in pursuing a career."
