Students at Work
Each year PLU students are hard at work doing independent research, working with faculty on their research, doing internships in local museums and businesses, and otherwise being of service to the community. On this page we highlight a few of their recent accomplishments.
Severtson Award
S. Erving Severtson/Forest Foundation Undergraduate Research Fellowships are presented to students in the Social Science disciplines to allow them to conduct research with faculty mentors. Students (and their mentors) apply in the Spring semester. Ideally, interested students should meet with potential mentors by the beginning of the Spring semester.
