Get the most interesting and important stories from the Â鶹´«Ã½.5 Pitt honors students earned summer Creative Arts Fellowships
Five Â鶹´«Ã½ undergraduates were awarded Creative Arts Fellowships from the David C. Frederick Honors College.
Each fellow will produce a piece of creative work under the mentorship of a faculty member or subject-matter expert, allowing them the opportunity to engage with other artists and methods across disciplines.
This summer, the Frederick Honors College awarded 90 fellowship and internship awards — including the prestigious Brackenridge Fellowship as well as opportunities in community research, health sciences research, engineering and public service. Students from across all disciplines can apply by proposing a research topic, finding a faculty sponsor and committing to completing and presenting their research by the end of summer.
