  • 2/18 SHARE Apprenticeships - Faculty Submissions Due

    UConn faculty in social sciences, humanities, and arts disciplines are invited to submit an opportunity to be included in the SHARE Virtual Summer Research Apprenticeship program.

    This program facilitates opportunities for first- and second-year undergraduates majoring in social sciences, humanities, and arts disciplines to assist faculty mentors with research over the summer, with an emphasis on providing pathways for students who are underrepresented, 1st generation, and/or have financial need to engage in research.

    Faculty apprenticeship submissions are due 2/18/22. Students can begin applying in early March 2022, with an application deadline of March 25th.

    Funding:

    Student apprentices receive a $1000 stipend for 90 hours of summer project work; faculty mentors receive a $500 professional development stipend in recognition of the guidance and support they provide to apprentices.

    How to Participate:

    Submit a description of your research and the ways in which an apprentice can contribute by February 18, 2022.
