Smathers Library Undergraduate Fellows
The Smathers Libraries Undergraduate Fellowships are awarded to students who have worked in other departments of the libraries. Fellows work with a mentor on an individual research project during the Fall, Spring, or Summer of their award year.
University Scholars
University Scholars work with the curators in Special Collections on their own yearlong research projects- they publish and present their work at the end of the Spring semester. Learn more about the program on the Center for Undergraduate Research’s webpage.
Applications for our 2024-25 University Scholars cohort will be due Monday, November 28, 2023. Click below to keep informed and to talk to us about potential projects.
