Undergraduate students supported by the Employing Humanities program have begun working with faculty in paid research opportunities connecting classroom curriculum with hands-on training.

Employing Humanities is an initiative to make stronger, more explicit links between what students do in their coursework and what they'll do when they graduate. The initiative connects Humanities majors and minors with faculty-led research projects in paid experiential learning opportunities that connect their classroom curriculum with hands-on training.
