1. The Cascade Mentoring Program. This program will support six
pairs of students, each consisting of a rising sophomore and a
rising junior or senior. Working together, they will engage in
an independent research project mentored by a science faculty
member. Initially, the rising sophomore may assist the upper-class
student with basic tasks in the laboratory or the field. The faculty
adviser will work with both students to ensure that the research
is progressing satisfactorily and that the rising sophomore is
being mentored effectively. As the younger student gains confidence
and experience in the lab, she will be expected to take on more
research responsibilities. After eight weeks of work, each pair
of students will give a presentation at Mount Holyoke's annual
Summer Science Symposium. Faculty advisers also will encourage
students to present their research at appropriate local or regional
scientific meetings. Each student will receive a stipend of $3,600,
and, in addition, the program will pay a housing cost at the current
MHC housing cost level. To apply to this program, check the box
labeled "MHC-HHMI, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Cascade
Mentoring Program for first-year, sophomore and junior students"
on the universal
application form available under "Summer Fellowship Opportunities"
on the Career Development Center Web site. Click the

2. Independent Research
for Upper-class Students (Undergraduate Science Educational Program
for Sophomores and Juniors). Seven upper-class students will be
chosen to pursue independent research projects on campus or at
off-campus research sites. It is recognized that some upper-class
students prefer to leave campus to accept internships in industry,
government, or university laboratories, which may lead to employment
opportunities after graduation. In addition, since students are
also encouraged to pursue international research experiences,
funds will be provided for students to work at off-campus or international
research sites. The faculty selection committee will award these
research fellowships on the basis of the student's academic record;
the merits of the proposed project; and, for off-campus opportunities,
evidence of financial need. For more information, please consult
a faculty member in your department, or the codirectors of the
HHMI Summer Research Program, Craig Woodard and Sean Decatur.
Each student will receive a stipend of $3,600 and, in addition,
the program will pay a housing cost at the current MHC housing
cost level. To apply to this program, check the box labeled "HHMI
Undergraduate Science Educational Program for sophomores and juniors"
