First Things First: What Exactly Do We Mean by "Research and Fellowship Opportunities"?

Research opportunities enable you to pursue learning through your own investigation of novel questions.  By conducting your own original research (with the support of a faculty mentor or supervisor), you have the chance to apply and build on your coursework, strengthen skills, contribute new findings to your academic field, and hone your interests.  Research experiences prepare you for graduate school or to pursue any number of career opportunities after college, and may be compensated or for credit. 

Fellowship opportunities are (usually) funded or paid activities that enable you to pursue your personal, academic, and career goals during and after your time at Hollins.  These short- and long-term opportunities give you the chance to study, research, train, and network in specific fields and/or within specific institutions and organizations, all the while gaining new and valuable life experiences away from home.

Research and fellowship opportunities span EVERY major and discipline!
