A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage student research in sustainability:
Muhlenberg College has programs to encourage student research; however, there are no programs that specifically encourage research in just sustainability studies.
Student Summer Research Collaborations
In Summer Research Collaborations, a faculty member recruits a student as a research collaborator for the summer, meaning that the student assists in a substantive way with the faculty member’s scholarship. However, the students are researching information based on the faculty member’s interests and the faculty are from various academic disciplines, but not necessarily in sustainability studies.
Summer Research Grants
Each student who is awarded a grant will receive a $2,600 stipend for eight weeks of research during the summer and one course-unit of research or independent study at no cost to the student. These Grants are open to any student, in any major, that desires to do research or independent study, it is not just for students researching sustainability. These Grants are also limited to 7 students per summer.
