Humanities EXPLORE Fellows hold paid positions on faculty-led research projects in the division. Faculty apply to the program and mentor undergraduate students each academic year if selected. Researchers are selected for projects that align with their skills and academic expertise. The EXPLORE cohort program empowers undergraduate researchers to actively engage with support networks (faculty mentors, staff, peers, and resources) and achieve goals to grow as researchers.
EXPLORE Applications are open on Handshake each May to begin at the start of Fall Quarter , and open again in October to begin at the start of Winter Quarter. EXPLORE Fellows earn $20/hour and are expected to work on the project for 10-20 hours/week.
