Digital fellowships help sophomores explore creative uses of digital technologies while reflecting on the impact they have on our world today. There’s really no limit on what that might mean for your project--whether you’re interested in coding, 存档, 起草, 或者绘制地图.
大二的时候, you can secure funding to support research, 创意项目, 志愿者的努力, or internship opportunities to take place the summer between your sophomore and junior year at St. 劳伦斯.
The interactive project you devise could draw on a topic, 主题, or region that sparked your interest in class or integrate a co-curricular activity that you’re passionate about. 在整个课程中 of your project or internship, you’ll work closely with a faculty member and collaborate with community partners.
These grants are intended to help you expand your research skills, 扩大你的人际网络, 磨练你的领导能力, and build confidence as you work to positively impact the communities you’re a member of.
