Supporting Undergraduate Research
A gift from Mike Gould, the first $1 million donation in the history of CGS, endowed the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning’s fund for undergraduate research projects—and we’re just getting started. His gift has already helped engage a record number of students in faculty studies and more than doubled the number of research opportunities for undergraduates. Additionally, our faculty have become thought leaders, sharing their knowledge about the impact of the undergraduate research experience as a model for other programs.
In the past, CGS students have:
- Researched the impacts of the robotics revolution
- Found roots of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol in the stories of the “mill girls” in Lowell, Mass
- Studied British women writers
- Experimented with how antibiotics may alter the ecology of our water
- Analyzed the boundary-breaking films of the Golden Age of Hollywood
- Researched how climate change intersects with global democracy
