Dear Department Administrator,
I am writing to inform you of an exciting and unique research
opportunity for
undergraduates at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Please
pass this
information on to your department concentrators.
In 1991, Radcliffe initiated the Radcliffe Research Partnership (RRP)
program as
part of a commitment to increase the opportunities for undergraduates
to work
with Radcliffe scholars and staff. It matches undergraduates (junior
partners)
with senior scholars (senior partners). It fosters intellectual growth,
develops skills, builds confidence, and offers exceptional role models.
Nearly
five hundred junior partners have participated in the program, working
with
more than three hundred senior partners. Projects have been in such
diverse
fields as science, public policy, gender studies, the humanities, and
the
arts.
I myself participated in the program, and think it is one of the best
experiences I have had at Harvard, and certainly the best work
experience.
Through the program, students come into close contact with talented
scholars,
learn the ropes of individualized research, and get to work in a job
which is
more interesting, fulfilling, and exciting than most others available on
campus.
For more information, please consult the RRP website at:
http://www.radcliffe.edu/fellowships/rrp/index.php. Here you will find a
more
detailed description of the program, as well as the project proposals of
the
2004-5 fellows looking for junior partners. If you have any questions,
please
contact Diana Carey at rrp(a)radcliffe.edu. Applications are available on
the
website.
Thank you!
Sarah Thomas
