If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please email Dr. Bulanda ([email protected]) directly, providing the following details: 1) confirmation that you are a sociology major; 2) year of study; 3) sociology courses completed thus far. Review of interested student applications will begin immediately and continue until a student is selected.
