Franke Undergraduate Fellows Announced for 2021-2022
June 10, 2021
The Kaplan Humanities Institute is delighted to announce the Franke Undergraduate Fellows for 2021-2022!
They work on their research projects with a faculty supervisor from their home department and also participate in the Senior Humanities Seminar (HUM 398) in fall and winter quarters. This seminar provides support in shaping the fellows' research, with faculty mentoring in critical analysis, constructive critique, and creative presentation—especially on how to create a public talk for audiences outside their discipline.
