- UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, CREATIVE, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS: Enable students to engage in significant learning experiences such as attending professional conferences, procuring laboratory equipment, visiting archives to study primary source materials, covering travel costs to internship or community service sites, paying for advertising for their musical performance, or conducting surveys or focus groups needed for their thesis project.

- Offer an Honors Alumni Internship

Marissa Hirsch, who graduated last spring, used funds for undergraduate research to travel to Guatemala to develop new literacy programs for orphaned children. She presented her work at the Ohio Valley Philosophy of Education Society Conference in September 2008. Marissa comments on why these funds are so important for Honors students: “I have definitely come to realize how important it is for students to step outside of the conventional classroom in order to find themselves in another kind of classroom where learning happens. Students are taken outside of their comfort zones and are involved in first-hand, hands-on learning. . . . I hope that on the college level, universities come to provide more funding for students to go out in the world and have those kinds of experiences.”
