We are proud to announce and congratulate the 2024 cohort of Wu Tsai Performance Undergraduate Scholars! We have selected 9 excellent students from across the university, representing 7 different majors from the Schools of Engineering and the Humanities and Sciences. They will conduct impactful research projects in human performance this summer with Stanford faculty mentors in the Schools of Engineering, Medicine, and Humanities and Sciences. For many, these research projects provide an opportunity for them to combine their interest in scientific discovery with personal passions in athletics, nutrition, health technology, and mental health.
