G.R.O.U.P. Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships pair faculty members and undergraduate students in summer research projects, allowing the students to develop new skills under the guidance of a faculty mentor and to experience the rigor and excitement of academic research in an area of their interest.  Faculty gain the time and opportunity to explore new ideas, and the collaboration with their apprentice may generate new undergraduate courses and curricula.
