History Majors Awarded Funding for 2023-24 Undergraduate Internships with CISS
The Center for Innovation in Social Sciences announced their third annual cohort of funded undergraduate research interns and their faculty mentors. The internship program matches undergraduate students with faculty researchers, and provides interns first-hand experience with all aspects of the research process – including data collection, analysis, and writing. A research showcase in April 2024 will feature presentations by the 2023-24 cohort of student intern-mentor teams. For the first time, interns will have the opportunity to participate in a new one-credit Hub co-curricular focused on the fundamentals of social science research.
