Â鶹Æƽâ°æ

Â鶹Æƽâ°æ's Summer Faculty Student Research Program provides students with a unique opportunity to work with faculty on original research in disciplines ranging from biology to management and business, including English, physics, dance and economics.

 

The program offers students the chance to spend 5 or 10 weeks in the lab or the classroom immersed in research, to gain a hands-on appreciation for scholarly work. Outcomes of the summer collaboration vary—for some students, the summer provides a foundation upon which to build a senior or an honors thesis; for others, the research could lead to published results in a peer-reviewed academic journal. Â鶹Æƽâ°æ alumni who have continued their education in graduate school have reported that experience as researchers has given them distinct advantages as scholars.

The Faculty Student Summer Research Program is part of the Zankel Experience Network (ZEN). ZEN was established in 2020 by Jimmy Zankel ’92 and Pia Scala-Zankel ’92 to encourage the support of like-minded donors who hope to expand Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s commitment to experiential learning, including the Faculty Student Summer Research Program, Summer Experience Fund and a new Mentoring Program.

We would like to thank the following donors and funding agencies for their support of our collaborative research efforts and the Faculty Student Summer Research Program:
