Call for Faculty Submissions - SHARE Virtual Summer Apprenticeship Program
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) is currently accepting faculty submissions for the SHARE Virtual Summer Apprenticeship Program. The SHARE program provides early career undergraduates majoring in social sciences, humanities, or arts fields with an opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor on a research or creative project over the summer. These meaningful learning experiences allow students to develop foundational research, creative, or technical skills that they can build on as they progress through their academic career, as well as to establish mentoring relationships with faculty.

Student apprentices can earn up to $1,485, paid out as hourly wages, to support approximately 90 hours of remote project work over the summer. The Office of Undergraduate Research covers the cost of the hourly wages for SHARE apprentices.
