Information for Faculty 

Faculty contribute to the University Scholars program as research mentors and/or by serving on the program’s Faculty Council. Faculty advise students throughout the research process and provide the space and intellectual freedom for students to develop an independent project. Faculty also equip students with the necessary tools, skills, experiences, and mindsets needed to conduct independent research within the student’s field of interest. The inspiration, guidance, and encouragement that faculty mentors and Faculty Council members provide are central pillars of the University Scholars experience.

Faculty interested in working with the University Scholars program are welcome to do the following:

• Promote open research assistantships in our weekly newsletter to current UScholars (please email a brief position description to the Program Coordinator, Ms. Taryn Painter (tpainter@upenn.edu)
• Join our University Scholars Faculty Council
