Research opportunity for students

As new director of the Martin-Springer Institute, I hope you can help spread the word regarding a research project that might interest your students. The attached flyer details our search for motivated students to actively and collaboratively participate in researching, planning and designing a travel exhibit on the history of the Bedzin ghetto in Poland.

 

The Martin-Springer Institute is seeking up to 10 interested students (advanced undergrad and grad) from different disciplines to start working in the spring as a Independent Study, supervised by Martin Kalb (HISTORY) and myself.

 

Of this group, we will choose 4 students who will receive a stipend to work on this project in the summer for 2-weeks at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.

Please help to disseminate the information among your students and colleagues.

 

We prefer nominations by faculty, but students can also self-nominate by contacting me directly.
