C3 (Creating Connections Consortium) summer research opportunities for sophomores and juniors are now at four universities: UC Berkeley, Columbia, University of Michigan and the University of Chicago. Application deadlines vary by program, but begin February 1, 2016.
We are holding an info session for interested students on Monday, December 7 at 4:30pm at the Anderson Freeman Resource Center.
Five Middlebury students participated last summer; and found it enormously beneficial for their senior work and post-graduate planning. Some details:
Who can apply?
The program invites applications from current sophomores and juniors. First-years may also be considered. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Students from historically underrepresented groups, and/or first generation college students or others who pursued paths to college in the face of adversity, such as societal, economic or academic disadvantages are strongly encouraged to apply.
Which research areas are supported?
Research projects in the arts, humanities, humanistic social sciences and mathematics are welcome. Students do not need to be a major/prospective major in these fields to apply.
What are the benefits?
A generous summer stipend, campus housing, transportation costs to/from Berkeley or New York City. Students will be part of a faculty-mentored project, learn about graduate school admissions and GRE preparation, and be part of a cohort of other college students from liberal arts colleges.
