A research project culminating in a substantial research paper. Each intern, in consultation with an on-campus faculty sponsor, chooses a research topic early in the term. The research paper will be both closely related to the student's internship responsibilities and useful to the Washington agency which serves as the site for the internship. The intern is expected to make good use of the resources of his/her agency and of Washington contacts to produce a paper which reflects the Washington experience. GPA units: 1 Typically Offered: Fall, Spring The Weiss Summer Research Program Undergraduate research experiences provide students with the opportunity to create new scholarship and engage in hands-on academic work; during the summer, student researchers can focus exclusively on their research, and so are able to undertake significant projects with outcomes worth reporting in academic journals and conferences. The College offers three summer research programs that collectively serve students across the campus, in all majors. The Science Summer Research Program connects students with ongoing faculty projects in the natural sciences. The Economics Summer Research Program recruits a team of students to support Economics faculty research. The Summer Research Program in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts accepts student- and faculty-designed proposals. All three have a competitive application project, require a eight-week research period, an host a College-wide Summer Research Symposium in the fall, at which students report the results of their research.
