You will take greater control of your experience moving forward as you self-select into one of the five focus areas you want to explore: entrepreneurship, leadership, social responsibility, design and build, or research.
Your first step in this process is to select one of three tracks as outlined below.
- Participate in one of two programs for one year:
- Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experiences (OURE)
- One of S&T’s many student design teams
- Participate in one Kummer Colloquium each semester:
- For details, see What is a Kummer Colloquium?
- Kummer colloquium sections will be announced early each summer
- Serving as a peer mentor or a mentor during opening week counts as participation in a Kummer Colloquium
- Create your own project:
- The project can be for one semester or for the entire year
- The project must address one of the five focus areas: entrepreneurship, leadership, social responsibility, design and build, or research
In addition to the specific participation required within each track, you will submit your reflection of the experiential, educational and social components of your experience, and to identify ways the program’s other focus areas connect with your experience. These reflections serve to underscore your learning and growth experienced throughout these experiences.
Failure to actively participate in the track you select will result in the loss of your scholarship.
