FACULTY:
Please note: The Summer Humanities Institute
will make mentor-student matches, not students. Unlike the UCLA
Graduate Division, we will pair students with a faculty mentor who will
provide guidance and direction on a student-selected research project. We
will make the mentor-student match based on the student’s general
research area and faculty availability.
