Undergraduate Summer Fellowships Support a Deep Dive into Scholarship

Why Engage in Research and Creative Work as an Undergraduate Student?
Generate new knowledge, think critically and outside of the box, and fine-tune your collaborative and communication skills. Instead of learning facts and content that others have discovered for you, doing research allows you to apply the knowledge and skills from your classes to discover new information yourself and advance your field. While it can be demanding, research can be an amazingly fulfilling and transforming intellectual and personal experience.
Engaging in a hands-on creative inquiry with Adelphi faculty who are experts in their field will refine your professional interests and establish a relationship with your mentor that often lasts beyond your undergraduate years.
