Students who are selected for these programs will join a cohort of Baylor Summer Fellows. All Baylor Summer Fellows participate in several cohort activities, such as:
- Cohort preparation: In line with Baylor’s participation in the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative, Baylor Summer Fellows will learn about building just, inclusive, and sustainable communities in their chosen field and context. This meeting will take place April 25th, 2024 at 4:30 pm.
- ePortfolio: Baylor Summer Fellows will create a CN ePortfolio to help narrate their experience and situate it within their overall development as a scholar, leader, and citizen.
- Reading and reflection: the Baylor Summer Fellows cohort will read a book together and write a blog post reflecting on their fellowship experience and the common reading.
Present research and internship projects/findings at the Summer of Discovery Undregraduate Research and Internship Poster Symposium at the Mayborn Museum.
Applications for all programs open November 1st.
