Application Guidelines Saint Mary's College is an excellent learning environment.
Faculty often bring students into direct involvement with their research.
These are given to four student-faculty partnerships to support research and study in the summer. This program immensely benefits the student in her education, her pursuit of graduate work or employment after college, and in her personal development as a confident independent scholar. The faculty member benefits from the chance to engage in a high level of cooperative learning with a student who can achieve virtually a junior colleague relationship. This innovative program has received wide-spread attention, and is currently being studied as a part of a Saint Mary's alumna's doctoral research in higher education. This project has created a new anthology of student writing, one that Dr. Loux and Cara Ford will be trying to find a publisher for this fall.
