The committee intends to select projects from a balanced range of disciplines. The committee is interested in faculty proposals that involve students in meaningful ways as co-researchers, and not merely as assistants. Proposals should specify a clear outcome, such as a paper co-authored with a student.
Faculty who have participated in previous years are eligible, but faculty who have not previously received this support will be given preference. The committee will try to obtain a reasonable balance of departments and divisions within those eligible.
Student applications will be accepted on or before February 19, 2010. After students have applied, the committee will select the best matches of student applicants with faculty proposals (with a maximum of 10 funded projects). Faculty will have input into the final choice of student, but may not pre-select a candidate for their project. Preference will be given to rising juniors and seniors; graduating students are not eligible.
Students will be expected to work full time (40 hrs./wk.) for at least nine weeks throughout June - August 2010, with help and supervision from participating faculty. Four of those 40 hours per week will be spent on McGregor special readings and discussions organized by the program coordinator. The logistics of a work schedule are left to the discretion/availability of the faculty and the student fellow.
