About SURF
Student fellows work closely with faculty and engage as junior research partners on faculty-led projects across the disciplinary spectrum. Students working as fellows gain valuable experience while assisting faculty with their research. Each fellow spends half-time or more on a twelve-week project and receives a stipend for participation.
Faculty and students have teamed up on SURF projects in a variety of fields including:
- Anthropology
- Archaeology
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Cybersecurity
- Dance/movement studies
- Ecology
- Human rights
- Indigenous studies
- Literature and literary arts
- Urban planning
