Encourage undergraduate students to apply for an Archival Studies and Practice Fellowship
Deadline: Friday, October 13, 2023 at 5 p.m.
The study of and research in the humanities helps students develop critical thinking, problem solving, communication, presentation, collaboration, and other important skills required to successfully navigate an ever-changing post-college world regardless of the chosen profession, and to be prepared to help solve society’s most complex issues. To assist students in this transition and to create a student-to-career pipeline, the University of Oregon’s Oregon Humanities Center and UO’s Libraries Special Collections and University Archives are collaborating to offer an undergraduate student fellowship program focused on building primary archival research and career readiness skills.
UO undergraduates interested in the humanities and humanities-affiliated social sciences and professions can earn eight internship credits and a $3,000 fellowship stipend during the twenty-week program during the 2024 winter and spring terms. The program will provide students with important humanities library sciences research and career readiness skills, while expanding their post-college job prospects. Students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Applicants will be notified in November 2023.
