Research in Jewish Studies: How, What, Why?
In addition to these brand new scholarships, the Program in Jewish Studies is also accepting applications for its second annual Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, Research in Jewish Studies: How, What, Why? This program will acquaint undergraduate students with the skills to conduct high level, independent, and interdisciplinary research.

- Attend a presentation by Jewish Studies faculty members who will speak about their own research and explain how they go about it.
- Participate in a field trip to the Post-Holocaust American Judaism archive in Norlin Library, led by Professor Nan Goodman.
- Present their research project at the Jewish Studies End-Of-Year Showcase.
