Center for Women & Work - Emerging Scholars Program

Thank you for your interest in the Emerging Scholars Program! This program will provide students with a unique year-long opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from courses at UMass Lowell to a faculty member’s on-going research. Students who participate will gain valuable research experience and build on their classroom learning. Students in FAHSS majors are encouraged to apply.
