Defining a Path to Success
“Undergraduate research in the humanities gives students valuable perspectives and skills while they make real contributions to the public good. Archival research explores the history of people and ideas, and how they were remembered (or forgotten). Digital projects allow us to make those communities live again, for our time, and for the future.”
— Dr. Emily Friedman, Associate Professor of English
