Arts Undergraduate Research Internship Awards (ARIA) 2012
The Arts Internship Office is pleased to announce the launch of the Arts Undergraduate Research Internship Awards (ARIA) for Summer 2012. Established by Dean Christopher P. Manfredi in 2010, the purpose of the Arts Undergraduate Research Internship Award (ARIA) is to support undergraduate students who undertake research during the summer under the direct supervision of a faculty member. Students contribute to the professor’s research agenda while gaining useful academic research skills.
For Summer 2012, the Faculty of Arts will provide 19 undergraduate Research Internship Awards, each with a value $2000. These awards are matched by individual faculty members or their departments to provide a total award of $4000 to the student.
In the first two years of the program, a total of 70 awards were disbursed to students in nearly every department and program in the Faculty. The students engaged in a high level of scholarship, enhancing their research skills and knowledge of their fields, and received mentorship from their supervising professors. Professors gained research support from some of the Faculty’s brightest students.
