It's a unique, immersive research experience that allows undergraduate students to spend four weeks working on projects with faculty members from across the humanities.
This summer's Scholars-in-Residence (SiR) program, run by the Jackman Humanities Institute and Victoria College, marked the fourth year that successful applicants took part in the residency in humanities and humanistic social science research.
Students from across the Faculty of Arts & Science, as well as U of T Mississauga and U of T Scarborough, participated in this year's program. Participants are granted free accommodation in on-campus housing and a meal plan for the duration of the program, as well as a $1,000 Jackman Scholar Award.
Participants say the opportunities to contribute to original faculty research projects and build new relationships with peers and professors are the biggest rewards.
"SiR is not only an intensive research program, it also allowed me to network and meet an incredible diversity of students outside of my faculty and college," says Trinity College student Kat Yampolsky, a second-year specialist in peace, conflict and justice studies with a double minor in Italian and Arabic. "I would 100 per cent recommend the program to other students."
