Social Sciences and Humanities Undergraduate Summer Research Internship Call for Letters of Intent - 2019

The purpose of the Social Science and Humanities Undergraduate Research Internship (SSHURI) is to support undergraduate students who undertake research during the summer under the direct supervision of a faculty member. The expectation is that students contribute to the professor’s research agenda while gaining useful academic research skills through their research experience.

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities will provide two Social Sciences and Humanities Undergraduate Research Internship awards, available to students at both campuses, each with a value of $4000.
