Adelphi Funds Research Fellowships for Honors Students

This past fall, Adelphi generously funded summer research fellowships for 10 Honors College students. The $4,000 fellowships support Honors students who are conducting research in many different areas. Preference each year will be given to rising seniors, some of whose projects will lead to their senior theses. But even freshmen are eligible as is evidenced by the first 10 Honors students to receive these awards.

David Campmier, a junior, will work with Associate Professor Martin Haas on Dennis Hart Mahan and the U.S. Civil War.

Cristobal Zarco and CarolineSenatore, both seniors, will work with Honors College Academic Director Nicholas Rizopoulos on Nazi economic policy and the illusion of growth.
