Use your winter break down time productively. Did you come up with intriguing questions that just need to be researched over break? Questions like:
- What really is the most economically efficient form of gift giving?
- Could we genetically alter trees to glow, so we wouldn’t need to buy lights?
- What cultural and social paradigms converge at holiday dinner to create such terrible, awkward, uncomfortable conversation?
Well, maybe you have better research ideas than that. Either way, you’ve got just the rest of this month to complete and submit your SURE Award application!
That’s right, if you’ve got an excellent research proposal, we’ve got $500 to help you do it.
The possibilities are endless, but the deadline to apply for the spring 2013 semester is January 25, 2013 February 1st, 2013.
