Examining a problem, question, theory, or idea?
Maybe you’ll work with a faculty member to research bats in the Philippines, discover and translate a trove of French manuscripts, or create and perform your own video album—there are so many opportunities for you to conduct your own research, whether you are a scientist, artist, musician…or maybe all three. You’ll set the stage for your project, but there is support from expert faculty members throughout the process. From summer-long to year-round research projects, collaborate with professors here on campus, with alumni who teach in major research universities around the world, or through outside programs you wish to pursue. Generous funding opportunities and annual symposiums let you share your discoveries and shine your light on subjects in new ways.
Student Perspective
“[Celestial Histories are] a way that we can walk with other cultures, not only to a space where we’re acknowledging other cultures, but kind of creating a community centered around all these things that we have in common.”
Avery Greene ’24 Chemistry Minneapolis, Minnesota
