The Latham Fellowship is an opportunity for undergraduate student researchers to develop skills in science communication and engagement. Latham Fellows develop real-world project design and implementation skills as they:

- Experience interdisciplinary learning by working with students from varied research backgrounds

- Strengthen future career and/or award applications
- Opportunity to publish in Synthesis: A Digital Journal of Student Science Communication
Students selected for the Latham Fellows program will complete two courses (LATH:3000 in Fall and LATH:3001 in Spring), design and implement individual and group outreach projects, and participate in a year-end event that will highlight their achievements. Upon completion of the fellowship program requirements, Fellows will receive a $1,000 award.
Eligibility requirements:
- Accepting sophomores, juniors or seniors at the time you take the class
- GPA of 3.0
