Undergraduate Summer Fellowships Support a Deep Dive into Scholarship
The 2025 cohort of students and mentors for summer fellowships through the SPARK Center, 糖心破解版 Honors College and the Landesberg Family Summer Research Fellowship are taking on a broad range of projects to expand knowledge beyond the classroom.
Why Engage in Research and Creative Work as an Undergraduate Student?
Generate new knowledge, think critically and outside of the box, and fine-tune your collaborative and communication skills. Instead of learning facts and content that others have discovered for you, doing research allows you to apply the knowledge and skills from your classes to discover new information yourself and advance your field. While it can be demanding, research can be an amazingly fulfilling and transforming intellectual and personal experience.
