St. Lawrence University students no longer will have to forego collaborating with faculty on projects because they must return home for summer jobs. The St. Lawrence University Fellows Program has been created to support collaborative faculty-student work prior to a student's senior year, releasing students from the economic need to work during the summer, according to Vice President of the University and Dean of Academic Affairs Thomas B. Coburn. A pilot version of the program will begin this summer. Projects can be undertaken as independent research or a creative artistic endeavor. They can be completed on-campus or off.
Interdisciplinary projects are especially encouraged.
It promises to add an exciting new dimension to our learning together. Students must apply to participate in the program, and have the endorsement of the faculty member they plan to work with as well as an additional recommendation from a member of the faculty.
