Students will be hired into the CSE115/CSE116 UTA pool and may be asked to assist in either course. While UTAs are assigned to 1 course each

There are a few standards to apply. To be eligible for this position, you must be:

If you are interested in doing interdisciplinary research with a team of fellow Honors scholars, consider coming to an organizing meeting for the Honors College Think Tank.
Think Tanks are institutions that bring together people to examine problems in society and advocate policy prescriptions to fix them.
On March 16th at 3:30 PM, we will hold a meeting in Capen 106C outlining the course:
students will take a 1-credit course in the fall to learn about think tanks, policy papers, and organize into working groups.
This will be followed in the spring by the working groups researching their topic and creating policy papers under the guidance of a faculty advisor in a 3-credit mentored research collaboration.
The finished projects will be presented at the end of April 2024.
Students will also earn 4 Honors Experience credits for the year.
This will be a student-driven initiative with students choosing and defining their topics and organizing their working groups. Working group leaders will be chosen by each team.
